Let’s hear what’s making you cheerful at the moment!

From yours truly;
Sun is shining
It’s Friday
I’m off to the gym for a swim in a bit
Skimpy bikinis are the swimwear flavour of the month at the gym
My basil is ready to be potted out and looks really good
Going for a beer with an old friend I’ve not seen for an age later
I won a tenner on the lottery the other day
Did I mention it was Friday?

So, what’s cheering you?

I got to test a new GPS/data burst device by riding around Dalby this morning – & got paid for it 😀

I reckon the title of this post would make a good song 😉

Oh and I’m off to Spain for 10 days next Thursday. Staying with family so lots of chilling by the pool, beers, olives, crisps and all that other nice food that gives me some oomph for a bit of riding whilst I’m there

I’m on leave from the madhouse and have retreated to the Noteeth seniors in South Devon, twenty minutes from the coast. The sun is shining – and there are plenty of bottles o’ Otter stacked up ready to go. The family hoover (i.e. black lab) is demanding to be walked all over them thar hills n’ beaches. Plus, the only bike I keep here is my faux-clunker Raleigh USA cruiser – just made for repackin’ down steep, overgrown country lanes. Oh, and the village pub is twenty metres away.

Monday must not be allowed to arrive… 😀

* It’s Friday
* I’m meeting up with a mate I haven’t seen for ages to go for a ride tomorrow
* Any reasons to envy stilltortoise are neatly offset by the weather forecast 🙂

WPOTY yesterday has really perked me up. Great bit of sensory therapy.

A relationship I thought was over, apparently is not. Which is brilliant, because it was/is wonderful.

Couple of things work-wise have popped up this week, which were unexpected, but very welcome.

Me shoulder is a lot better, which means I’ll be able to start going swimming and gym again.

The sun is shining, and I’m meeting up with a couple of mates later, whereupon we shall probbly go to somewhere like Greenwich Park, and ogle lovely things there.

I’m not in debt, I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, enough food to eat, and people in my life who love me.

And I’m not allergic to beer.

Life ain’t too bad, really.

Getting married a week on Sunday then a 2 week honeymoon in the Alps 😀

and……just booked an awesome spanish guitarist for the whole evening.

I’ve been given a new spring to fix my sofa with.
I got given two chairs that I can use in the garden.
I sold two photos this week.
Have a muddy bike to make all clean and shiny.
Shortbread to make.
And Purbecks tomorrow!

It’s sunny and I’m flying out to Morocco tomorrow for 8 days MTBing in the Atlas Mountains and on Tuesday while I’m away it’s my 30th!!!! I’m happy!

I’m getting a new bike for my commute soon.

The weather has meant that a large proportion of the 12,000 ladies aged between 18 and 22 where I work are wearing very very little.
And I’m off to Provence with a mate and our bikes on Wednesday.

It’s all good. I have no complaints at all at the moment.

Loving commuting on the bike (ok, only the one day this week…. and it’s not rained / been really windy yet… )

1. I had a lovely ride in this morning and will have a lovely ride home tonight

2. Both my kids are happy, healthy and almost always laughing and smiling

3. Its pay day

4. My wife is happy

5. My garden is a mass of cherry, apple and pear blossom at the minute – you wanna know where all the bees have gone? They are buzzing round excitedly outside my house 🙂

6. I live 5 minutes from the beach which is a massive bonus in the summer (its pretty good in the winter but in the summer its like every weekend is a holiday)

7. Its friday

All the best to all on STW, may the sun shine on you and the wind be at your back whatever you are doing. 8)

It’s Friday, the sun is shining, I’m 40 tomorrow, and I’m 2 stone lighter than when I turned 30.

And I’ll be spending my birthday riding the Rutland Sportif.

I rode 60 miles off road around the new Forest in the sunshine on Wednesday and I have just got back from a two hour blast around Lordswood without my legs falling off or crashing.

I have an interview for a Technical director roles when the MD gets back from holiday in a weeks time so there is hope of being un-redundant.

The guys at Avon Tyrrell have told me they will provide all of the showers and most of the toilets we need for the Big Bike Bash which means more money to charity and proper permanent showers for BBBers

And my neighbour has just brought round my rear sliding dropouts with the threads properly cut so the Ti SS is working again. Guess I am back up the woods as soon as have fitted these!

I’m off to Whitley Bay tomorrow morning dressed as Ian {the groomer/dad figure/actually the husband} Krankie with a mate dressed as Wee Jimmy as part of end of season 10’s tournament piss-up.

I’v got TWO new frames to build tonight, and then thrash next week!

Me the wife and my kids are healthy – can’t ask for more.

I’ve got a dead hooker in my fridge, and a big jar of vaseline.

Suns gone behind a cloud but the birds are singing, sheep baa-ing and cows moo-ing. Fish and chip supper to look forward to.

Riding from Austwick tomorrow. Off to Leeds for drinks and delicious Thai food in the evening.

4 day week next week and a 4 day weekend to look forward to that will include riding somewhere nice round Worcs, Hereford, Shopshire kind of way. May even venture into Wales.

Why have you got a dead rugby player in your fridge? and what do you intend to do with the vaseline?

ton – Telegraph Road is doing the business at Flash Towers today…!

Am pleased to report that the skimpy bikini fashion shows no sign of abating (Not on me, I hasten to add, but the delightful damsels of my part of town). Which is nice.

I’ve just had 2 fishfinger & cream cheese sandwiches for lunch.
