XTreme Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Going to be freezing again here, and we're still shaking off the tail end of this flu. We're feeling better, but a way to go yet before we're fully recovered. So once again I'll be sitting it out......5 weeks now! What about you lot? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I put my back out doing some work in the house yesterday, plus it's freezing and blowing a gale here, so the bike is going to remain tucked away in the garage for the time being. Anyway, I've got to sort my cold weather gear out for next week, as we're going to a ski resort with the group for the week. We're not skiing, but we're hoping to do some snow shoeing, sledging and dog sledding and using the spa at the hotel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the dogs in that environment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Weird weekend here, eldest daughter has a residential week at College and went today.  Youngest daughter is round her mates for a sleepover and I am off to work.  Just the Mrs and my son rattling around a quiet house.  Not normal at all, no music no singing no bedlam.  But it is the dog’s birthday and the Dear Boy has a new Ginger best Bud 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its going great apart from the very long hours by which I mean most days starting 6am and not getting home till between 8 and 10pm most days but other than that I'm my own boss so I can take days off as and when I want and if I do 5 days a week I'm bagging over 600 quid a week so my plans are do 4 or 5 weeks at 5 days a week then do 2 weeks of 4 days which generally bag me 500+Â 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Walking to Newport with the daughter and Matt (Sam’s partner), goes on the bus and has his driving lesson. All on the bus if it’s raining. Prob spend the day there before heading back to Cowes for an early ish bed ready for the trip home tomorrow. Mandis still having fun in Singapore but she’s having an extra day sight seeing before the long flight back. She’s 8 hours ahead of our time so communications not been good, adding to the fact the vessel she’s on is having a lot of connection probs. Wi-Fi especially, been slowing their progress down since she got there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
