Happy Wednesday Maggots,

I have been uber busy this week, today is a scorcher with a forecast high of 34ºC and I am wearing suit! Plus my car has "Mexican Aircon" as in it doesn't work and I depend on open windows...
I am at a coffee shop killing time as I have an interview today, the second one for the same job.. but things at the current job are going well, so let's see what happens

Other than melting slowly, I've thrown a sickie today and will spend the day soaking in the pool at home.. and it's a real pool, 40ft by 18 ft, not a paddling pool :¬)

Wishing you all a day as [un]productive as mine

    Raymonavalon - will swop!

    Today is meeting in London village with various people kicking at our company - should be fun.

    Then out later - hopefully different to last nights Lebanese meal which wasn't the best meal I've ever had.

    Greetings monkeys

    Raymondavalon I am disgusted at the temp over there, -2 on my way to work this morning, thought my fingers were going to drop off.

    Another day of work meh, 12 hrs this week and really struggling for sleep, the pooch is poorly and keeping us up all night, the t'other half treats him like a baby but he has never been this bad before hopefully his medication will kick in soon and all will be well again, glad we took out insurance now.

    On a bike note did 43 mile on the new road bike but back to the mountain bike this weekend less vibration is preferred.

    Ta ta for now

    Mornin' exes and double-exes,

    Back in work after a day out playing bikes with a few forumites and others. Much fun was had, especially Gazlars 'Patented Quick-Apply Fake Tan' - he was certainly commited to it's development.

    And now the weather:
    Todays will see M'eh, with scattered periods of coffee and sustained spells of 'whatevs' breaking out into the afternoon. The high will be some welding, with a low of seemingly repetitive drudgery.
    Tomorrow is forecast to be much the same as today.

    I shouldn't knock it, at least it ain't rainin'! :lol:

    Onwards! To caffiene! And some other stuff!

    Sorry I've been absent, been a little bit busy and there's no 3G in the Village.
    Good luck Raymondo!

    Just doing the sales reports for today, then I have a couple of bike orders to sort and some credits to dealers to sort.
    Later it's Date Night! Woo! Plus the boyfriend is bringing my bed with him so I no longer have to sleep on a slowly deflating inflatable mattress.

    Kisses

    Morning Losers!
    A lazy start for me today. I'll get up and cracking in a bit. I'm going to be cooking a chorizo and pork belly stew tonight, with home made bread. So I'm looking forward to that. It's my Mum's 60th tomorrow, so I'm waiting for her present to arrive; A digital photo frame. Should probably get a card too.
    Shall be off out on th ebike again later, though the nice weather we've had seems to have subsided. Never mind.

    Laters!

    Underneath it all was the most pathetic of scratches. For those doing cc2cc never let me give a speech about the most important thing being not to get yourself injured, as I then end up trying to do exactly that. It was coming, I'd already had a couple of saves worth of Gordon Banks before throwing myself down a bank of sand and then having a go at werewolf drop without a bike.

    I noticed I'd started getting email from them lately and i couldnt work out if it were revenge or as a result of them being a partner of Fantasy Downhill League.

    Today I will be having a tidy and clean of my bicycling equipment ready to have a couple of laps of Cwmcarn tommorrow I think, see if I can iron out yesterdays sketchyness.

    first though a lunch time walk

    Tolerating (barely) the daily grind of museum work. Having a mooch around some estate agents in cardiff later to see what's about. Saw a nice flat at £430 a month but then read £650 bond and £130 admin fee. I thought bonds were usually the same as the rent. Then home to sleep.

    No they vary, sometimes a few quid more, Mrs G's sister has been looking at flats in the diff and there was somewhere with some quite cheap ones, might have been Barbara Rees. ill try and find out.

    Well we have just had an impromptu house viewing, think they had a shock when i opened the door in my pants and dressing gown (funny place to have a door I know) i think they thought they were at Quagmires

    My move ended up coming in at just over £1700 for first month's rent, security (6 weeks rent) and fees. Gutting.

    Yeah but I promised all that underwear of yours that went missing was nowt to do with me, but I think as we are now aquainted and grown adults, actually it was everything to do with me, so if you would like to admit to filling my box with spam then i'm sure i can overlook it this once

    Evening Crudders,

    Still at work but going out for a curry + beer with a mate in bit, should see me through until the weekend...
