Tango

Well, that was the end of the Christmas cake! All the Christmas crap has gone now, so I guess that we'll be back to the boring food again! Anyway, we went to a soirée in the village last evening. The had a duo playing music and various stalls selling food and drink. We had a few beers and something to eat before the cold got the better of us and we came home for a few more beers. It was a good evening though. I think that it was the first time that they've laid on something this early in the year. Maybe they were testing the water to see how it went before trying anymore events outside the summer months.

Bollocks..............!

It's still for sale at the moment and I don't think that Suzuki have confirmed that it will be dropped in the near future.

Ah, the dirty weekend away?

Or Strom 650 XT!

When you turn up at the pub on Saturday night and all your mates are drinking coke because of Dry January!

I'll be hopefully changing mine early in the year, but I'm not sure for what yet. The criteria so far are: Decent tank range - 300-400km Not too heavy - <225kg Reasonable seat height - 810-850mm Capacity of 800cc or less Reliable. Comfortable for me and the missus, if she decides to go pillion Able to take a bit of luggage if needed. And able to do some light offroading. A bit unicorn, but I'm sure that there's something out there that fits the bill.

Aahhhh......they make a lovely couple!

Went out on the ebike this morning with a couple of the guys from the group. It was a glorious morning. We clocked just over 40kms. It has clouded over now and is slightly chillier. Forecast is for some high winds over the next few days, but no rain. We really need some rain here now. We get the occasional shower, but we've not had any appreciable rain here for well over a year now!

The prophecies of Nostradamus to Pete getting his bits out in 4 pages! I doubt if even Nostradamus could have predicted that!

I try to rationalise things. If something doesn't directly affect me, then I try to ignore it. I see people getting worked up about things that are very unlikely to affect their daily lives. The media are very good at manufactured outrage, running stories that are designed to get various people hot under the collar and it seems to be very successful. I try to look behind the story and work out what the agenda is! A lot of these stories are just a distraction, designed to take people's attention away from something else that is generally more likely to affect their daily lives! Anyway, getting worked up about things that you have little control over isn't good for your blood pressure!
