Morning,
Rainy here again, it's supposed to be the dry season. Looked like there was snow on some of the mountains too.
Might try the gym later, even the outdoor swimming pool.

    Morning peeps,

    Full day at work followed by a trip up to Cambridge and a few beers in studentville.

    Morning, office day again (as is the norm these days), grey and dull outside (as is the norm in Scotland), hound is happily snoozing under my desk (as is the norm).

    I was completely destroyed on the turbo last night, I don't think I've recovered from Saturday's wind-fest, then testing the new mtb every night since. Got a very long ride planned from Wednesday-Friday next week so I might start my 'taper' early and bail on tonight's session. One ride on Saturday in the presumably dreadful weather to get used to the new Wahoo will be sufficient...

    House prices are probably quite cheap there.

    I wanted to visit when I was in the Himalayan foothills in 1995 We were going to get a bus to Srinagar. Then an islamic group kidnapped some western hostages and started beheading them. We decided that staying in India would be best.

    Nearly the end of the week I think. Lots to do. I think late winter is back, which is as it should be.

    ?

    Foggy and chilly here.

    Not a lot to report but if it happens, i'll report it.

    @TLW: There's outlay and plenty of it and all that outlay is your doing, so you'll just have to work.

    Laters.

    Toilet is blocked in the office. I've flushed it many times to no avail. Might have to venture upstairs and use someone else's...

    Afternoon folks,
    Another busy day of fixing other people's mistakes and buying stuff. Far too much time is spent on the former when I should be doing the latter. MD's last day today so food was provided, I stuffed my face and now I could do with a kip.
    The sun seems to have retired as well, it's raining now. I just looked at my faecesbook feed and it offered up a post from a year ago, I was riding to work through snow so it could be worse I guess.
    Might go in search of coffee soon.
    Stevo, are you picking up the Panzerwagon tomorrow?

    Yup 8)

    Headed up after work tonight so I don't have to get up at stupid o'clock for the 10am handover. Conveniently a mate of mine works in Cambridge so that's the evenings entertainment sorted. Then it's the drive North tomorrow afternoon - AC/DC and Motorhead CDs on standby just in case I fancy a change from the exhaust sound :)

    Fraid not. I'll have to wait 'till the way back and I can gas myself testing race mode in the Blackwall tunnel.

    This one is going to play out fairly medium term - could be a couple of huge skill sets and a lot of experience moving out of a certain place.

    You'll hear my giggling when it happens.
