Work, then home. Tempted to go for a run, but we'll see. No evening course any more, so I'm glad about that, I feel more free.

Today I'll be mainly writing an email of complaint/concern to a director. Should be fun.

Laters!

    morning

    Today is working from home / sports day / working from home & if I get enough work done a bike ride. Last years sports day I came second in the parents race to a professional footballer - so tempted to trip him up at the start!

    Kill them! Them with fire!

    ......'least, that's what my desk lamp tells me to be doing....

    Mornin' muppet-molesters

    Today will be interesting, with new clients dropping off parts and me trying to convicne someone elses manager to let me spend their budget. Cool. What would life be without challenges, eh?

    There will be coffee, and I'm tempted to throw bacons into the mix, too. There will be much sweating on the ride home, if the humidity this morning was anything to go by. This air-con is making me soft.

    Onwards! To caffiene! And manning TF up!

    Ride in this morning was very warm and into a deceptively strong head wind so I was grateful for the shower in work.

    Tennis last night was good and I’m starting to get the hang of this back hand spin stuff. Unfortunately the courts are being overrun with noobs inspired by the Wimbledon fortnight.

    Onwards to tea and cakes.

    Later……

    Two espressos, an apricot croissant and a hangover for breakfast this morn. Still in Turin, lovely city but I could bloody well do with a nice long bike ride - no chance of that as now stuck here 'till Friday by the looks and then when I get back I have to tear apart my freehub and sort that before I can even pedal. grr and suchlike

    Moaning,

    Another course in Birmingham. Despite the pain of it being a full 9-5, it is at a Miller & Carter so I might have a cheeky early dinner before driving home. Can't beat a slab of bloody meat.

    Morning Scuttlers

    Yesterday saw me spend 3 hours at work being told I was doing stuff all wrong, which means while I'm still competent, I get to have another skive day to check what I'm doing again. the main reason is because I wasn't doing stuff that I'd not been told to do, so therefore was not doing it.

    Today I think I shall ride in once i've niopped to lbs and got some spare inner tubes for Zapp.

    Work, missing an assistant as she is on holiday for a week now so my evenings and this weekend will also be spent in work. This means that if Waylander wants me to stalk him this weekend he may have to make an effort to arrange to ride somewhere near my office.

    Middle sister went missing last night. Mothership rang at 12.30am looking for her to see if I knew where she was and then spent an hour trying to locate her.

    Masses of washing done last night and still have festival stuff to wash. Randomly our tents got broken into (if you can break into a tent) at the festival. All the posh girls Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton luggage got stolen. My rubbishy beaten up rucksack got left behind. Funny that! My crap celeb spot for the weekend was a fat looking Vinnie Jones.

    The future brother in law is having a bitch fit about the pictures of the weekend. In essence he doesn't like any photos of my sister drinking from willy straws, from shot glasses, or anywhere near any other men or of us on the shoulders of men. Control Freak methinks. I would be telling him to do one myself. Randomly I managed to pull a guy who was part of a stag do from Swansea and it turns out loads of people in the office know him... awkward...

    Afternoon bumders

    Day off from child minding today, in uni studying (actually I'm sat here working out how much a new bikepacking setup would cost), then I'm getting paid to take some random people on a tour of the campus, easy, stress free money. In the meantime I need to investigate some food I guess.

    This evening it's back off to the Aunt's place as I've agreed to 2 more days of childminding this week. Might do some more next week too, quite like this whole getting paid for playing around all day and eating their food.

    Greetings Maggots,

    It's cold here and mean farkoff cold, being almost 1700M above sea level makes the wind chilly and the air very dry.
    A day of win as we had a bank holiday on Monday, so it's a short week for me
    Now making plans to move back to France or perhaps Blightly, still unsure if the lure of Yorkshire will overcome the culture of Strasbourg.. decisions, decisions..

    Show him this and tell him its your group and split them up, then I, Gazlar will pick up the broken hearted pieces at the same time as being an awesome brother in law

    Sorry Gaz we had better outfits than that but at the moment after the way he spoke to me on the phone Saturday night he can go do one, so welcome to the family! I was accused of being irresponsible and taking people to something they weren't streetwise enough to deal with and getting my sister too drunk. Uh it was her hen party. Just because he was a boring old fart and only went and played golf for the weekend. Jealousy is not attractive in a man.

    It's too long (giggity) and boring to post on here. It raises good points though apparently

    As in they were better because you actually had outfits and not just a thin layer of paint. That's ok then thought jealousy is one thing I don't do, the only thing that would put me off your sister is the looming possibility of having Waylander as a brother in law. Oh and the fact that it may be a difficult Convo to have with the current Mrs Gazlar

    Yes we actually had outfits and not a thin layer of paint. Brother in law seems incredibly jealous and isn't endearing himself to any of the family at the moment. Even the Grandmothership dislikes him. And Waylander wishes.

    Evening Felchers,

    Another heavy day at work, told the auditors to ferk off and generally did a bit of throwing my weight around in the office to make me feel better. Still, only 2 days till the weekend....
