    Morning SG and all sleepy heads. Usual early start with definite cba to ride in today. Don't fancy fighting gusty crosswinds expected later and the traffic. Running later so will get hot and sweaty from that anyway. Good luck with the quack Mr S.

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    in theory today is wind down day. In reality it’s organised chaos.

    one more blink and it’s airport beers time!

    Current wife’s birthday, as I got back from my ride late last night and drunk after drinking on the train I had to get out early to get a card and a few extra presents.

    day out with the kids and a nice seafood lunch planned, should be a giggle

    Anyone been watching Shōgun on Disney+? It's awesome. I'm hanging on each new episode.

    Lots of office-based work shenanigans for me recently.

    Boned and stuffed (spicy Italian sausage & herbs) some chicken legs at the weekend, which was amazing, even if I say so myself. Made a vat of pasta sauce for the freezer too.

    Bike is out of deep storage. Tyres have been pumped, chain oiled, brakes tested.

    Unfortunately I'm off for a funeral tomorrow, an old friend's mum. Chance to catch up with a few people, but sad nonetheless.

    Easter in Porlock, dodging rain I expect.

    I reckon his coke snorting ex-tenant has finally tracked him down.

    Busy morning, stopping for a spot of lunch before on to round 2 and more meetings. Tomorrow's pedalling might get scuppered by rain and wind, but the Eater weekend is looking 'patchy'.

    stroll another day as it's belting down again, hope it'll stop before i head off to get wined, dined and talk tax

    might look into exploiting maga suckers eager for trump tat, seems like easy money is to be made

    Afternoon folks,

    Managed a wobble into work as it was quite bright but a little blowy earlier. The wind helped cover the after effects of beer and curry. SG, did you keep going on the tawny after bubbly with the ladies? A friend of mine was once thanked by his doctor for answering the "how much do you drink?" question honestly. But was then told he was drinking far too much. I told him it wasn't the drinking but the counting that was the problem.

    Just had pizza and cakes in the boardroom as someone is retiring, that saved me going out into the now rather wet weather. Hope it stops by 5.30.

    Being a Wednesday I will have to go to a local hostelry later.

    Onwards and upwards...

    Early finish mission 100% complete!

    I won't bother you all with the specifics but my new travel fishing rod arrived and it's a little belter so I treated it to a new reel rather than the old tatty one I had reserved for it.

    Bought some lures too. Now awaiting hair cut time slot for later and finalise shennanagins. No bubbly, well, maybe a bit but aiming to be in bed for 8 at the latest!

    3 episodes of Shogun, quality watch so far. Hopefully a pinch more sex and beheadings in future episodes.

    I think I'm actually in love with Mariko. Considering telling Mrs B³ that I'm running off with her.

    It would be pretty cool to be a Lord during Edo period Japan. All that servitude and obedience 🤩

    True. I like it when she gets stroppy about matters of etiquette.

    Agreed. I think the social structures can still be quite rigid.

    Just told the EPO I think we should watch Shogun. Apparently she's been watching it when I've been out gadavanting! Bloody cheeky 🙄😂

    OK, so basically you lot are only watching Shogun because it's got a fit burd in it who does as she's told. Might have to take a peek 😀

    Okuma, it won’t get used much. And no, they don’t.

    You’ll be disappointed if you’re tuning in for the totty but it’s well worth a watch. 9.1 on IMdB which is unusually high.

    I remember watching the original and also reading the book.
