Oh no, that’s not what happened at all.

I wish! I had to pay for it

This morning I have been to the ENT hospital in town . My appointment was on time and went well until I had to go to the pharmacy to get my prescription. The pharmacy is in another hospital which is a half mile walk (don’t even think about driving as you’ll never park). I then had to wait 90 minutes for my prescription and after that walk back up St. Michaels hill which is 1 in 6 to get back to my car , I am shagged

Hospital this morning , doctors this afternoon . That's Friday taken care of Doggie walking tomorrow followed by a few beers and pizza later Sunday ................. hopefully my van will arrive

OR coast...

Well what ya doing ? Me not so much, working tonight and Sunday night, weather looks to be cooperative so at least I will be biking. I plan on watching a lot of rugby but not much else. Oh and an aside it is NHS payday woohoo! well for a couple of days until it all disappears.

Bet this 1 makes some nice Mechanical Music....

Was it the bloke you met in Morocco .............

Have you been hacked Pedro?

Is that @Tym's island out there ?

Oldest granddaughters birthday party tomorrow. F1 weekend. I took a wall out between my outside toilet and shed and the bikes got covered in brick dust so hoping for some good weather Sunday to wash and dry them. That's about it.

Square Barrel....& it's possibly a "Bob Approved" model?....

It can get boring though.... I had the scam ? "This is my new phone number" text message today.....could not be arsed with it, just blocked the number, apart from that, done fuck all.

Been playing with an imported KE175, F7 in the USA today. Owner has paid a fair bit of money for it but I've already discovered the forks are pitted and the main crank bearings have seen better days. All the cables are seized up too. He's going to have to have a good think, he doesn't like spending money and I can see he's gonna need a bucket full to start with.

So a nice man gave you wood?

No, wood:

Yep

A nice man just came by with his pickup, and me and him were busy handling a load of wood.

fuck me ... that was some shit you must of had

Lyon Saturday for bro in law’s 40th ( in the car cos 3 hrs of autoroute each way is no fun on a bike, and its a real struggle getting the children to fit in the panniers these days…) Sunday, am supposed to be going boating, my previous employer has folded and i have been asked if i would move a boat down the river to Auxerre. It will be the last boat out, leaving an empty port behind…

Someone should inlitent you, that’s for certain, just as soon as we work out what that is.

bummed

Bet that's his vacation island since it's on the WEST coast....about 3k miles away...

This is only for the inside fire, as a form of very cozy heating. I don’t spend many nights in this place currently, so that ton will last a good while. I’ve got central heating that runs on natural gas but that is reserved for ultra cold days as it gets properly expensive.

We did it in the garage, he backed it in and we did it all inside the garage, away from prying eyes.

Left just in time, then, good for you. It’ll be a sad sight, though.

This weekend I will be sofa and bed testing mostly The garden furniture needs packing away, garden swing is knackered, so I will take that down and put it out for the scrap man. Would like ride on the scoot, it certainly needs a run to keep the working in running order, but doubt it will happen, so I guess it's going to be a day of

I rest my case.

This seems to be me at the moment.

I dare say but I suppose it's the contrast for me, I am usually here and there like shit in a field most of the time.

Sitting here thinking I have had a very surreal day by my standards. I haven't had to go anywhere or do anything I didn't want to. Bloody luxury. Shadow doesn't need me to take her to and from college, older daughter hasn't needed to go to the stables (no horse) and the boy takes himself to work. Apart from doing some stuff around the house and playing bike I have been a freeman for the first time in years probably. Could this be the future, probably not as big daughter still needs transport and driving lessons. But nice to dream.

Sounds ti me like you could do with a holiday in France… my brakes honked at me yesterday too, and the bike really needs a clean by someone who can be bothered with the details…

When I was out yesterday my front brakes started honking a bit, so stripped and cleaned them up this morning. It was the right hand calliper sliders that were gummed up so I know I have fixed it. Did both sides of course. Also cleaned up the pistons and pads and rubber greased the seals. Good 4mm left on the pads so will keep them for the time being. Looks like the last time they were off some cack handed fuck wit had been at them. Both callipers scratched up on the faces where they had been clamped with no protection. Also they are the wrong colour so have either been rebuilt or replaced at some point. No big deal as they are fine but so tempted to refurbish them and paint them the right colour. I got to keep telling myself this bike is a winter hack and not get too obsessive. All cleaned greased and back together. Shame the rest of the bike is so shit high . May not be able to resist cleaning it this afternoon

Our work has been flooded on the weekend, my office smells of cow piss
