Morning all. Happy Friday! Waiting for Stevo to go to work before popping in for a quick sauna. Tiny bit brrr this morning but long range forecast says sub zero nights might be over. Not that we really had a winter down sarf again. Much work avoidance beckons.

Morning Roompot Oranjebooms
Bit grey and meh. Some benign chores today after yesterday cleaning/tidying of dodgy tenant property. Filthy fucker.
Found out lots about him with some good detective work. He owes:
£1500+ to Scottish power, myself £2700 and counting (haven't realised the full total yet with cleaning/damage repair, skip hire, replacement carpets etc etc), previous tenant £1350, debt recovery - Moorcroft (Talktalk bill £380, Stirling park (council tax £970) but those agencies are nothing compared to 2 drug dealers he owes money to. And that's hopefully the guarantee he doesn't come back as I cannot go outdoor pedalling at the moment as long as that threat continues. Ho hum. I did not sign up to this.
Porker was booked in to for the MOT yesterday but had to be cancelled due to... leaking gearbox input shaft end seal. New one: £1.52 (I kid you not) but it means gearbox removal. That car has chucked every possible curveball at me.

Morning all. Little chilly here but dry. Waiting for school run to finish then off out on the bike for a few hrs. Possibly even assist eldest with some DIY tasks. OH,s taxi service later then beer o'clock. Ashamed to say took advantage of Wiggle and got a dry robe for less than half normal price. Enjoy work folks.
Too many bikes according to Mrs O.0 -
Haha £1.52 in parts and the equivalent of £152 labour?
Sounds like my exhaust mount.

Dryrobes are the new Burberry according to GLC.

Morning
Chilly and somewhat breezy. Just had a quick tidy and clean of the house as the estate agent is coming round shortly to take pictures. Then off to York for a mooch and to see the consultant about my shoulder.

I doubt that. It's probably 4hrs removal and 4 hrs back. It is a PITA of a job as the gearbox is at the back of the car and you need to remove all the linkages, mounts, torque tube bolts, drive shafts, exhaust system...

If it saves me freezing my butt off when changing after a ride or an event before I drive home I don't care. More importantly it hides the bits I don't want on show when changing in a carpark after a really wet / muddy run or ride.

Wtf is a 'dryrobe' ?
seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Very long, very waterproof, very snuggly un / dressing gown that you can change in without offending people in public. Some people wear them to sports events instead of coats. I'd post an image but it won't let me.

Morning. Breezy ride in. Quite chilly wind from the NE which is not what I want. Hopefully it'll make the ride home easier if it stays. Doubt it.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Doesn't sound good Mr. P. You should hire Loon as a bodyguard.

Whoop whoop, finally got my apple trees, plus some dahlias, delivered via fellow volunteer gardener. Prepping them ahead of planting, in time for the growth season. They're juveniles, will I see some fruit this year? But they will attract pollinators into the vege / greenhouse garden.
Meanwhile joiners back in doing Stuff for the current phase of The Project. Getting there.

Had a very good sleep after 2x 5.45am starts on the trot, yesterday's bike communt, sauna session and and a dose of apple based recovery tonic. May pop out later and get a haircut, but currently enjoying the sub streaming into the cave for the first time in ages.

Gym later now as something exciting has been finished and needs my attention.
It may appeal to a few on here so I might throw up a pic later.

Breeze remained the same. WFH this afternoon so a welcome push by the stiff breeze brought my av speed to 18.5mph. Also did a 2nd fastest time on a segment I've never ridden. Must have been windy to blow the GPS that far.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Gym bunny photos? Go for it.

I would have to pedal really slowly.

Evening folks,
Made it to not so sunny Porto, really nice studio apartment Airbnb place that's reasonably central. Had a late lunch in a local bar, stayed for a couple after lunch as it was raining. Now relaxing with a complimentary bottle of red before heading out again. Been recommended a couple of good local restaurants by the barman. Your and tasting at Calem booked for tomorrow, thanks for the tips SG.

So we fancied a mountain wall art, hellish expensive and the wrong sized/proportions for where we wanted it.
so I made my own.
