    You shouldn’t need underwear make you feel special bear. Just head out the door without any[thing] on and you’ll see from the looks you get just how special you are.

    It’s not here yet but I’m still going to count it as a Xmas present when I get my new Van.

    @stewartc – you’ve clearly been a very good boy this year then 🙂

    I bought myself a fenix 3 Sapphire. It’s what I should have bought before buying a TomTom Spark and then a Vivoactive HR+! Three rides and one run so far and it’s absolutely fab. Best thing is I can actually blooming read it with my lenses in…

    A box of Di2 bits to replace the stuff I pinched from the race bike to put on the winter bike. And there’s a new fancy turbo trainer on the way to my LBS too.

    @alex I dont treat the Naughty or Nice list as arbitrary when treating myself.
    Those Fenix3 look nice, sadly no reason to upgrade my 2 yet.

    Hmm. Not got myself anything for Xmas, but I’m still probably cashing in on my new Hoyt bow and risers from my birthday last month.

    The walk up a mountain on my own on boxing day was probably my favourite treat to myself this season.

    I did the Kickstarter thing for the Silca T-Ratchet and Ti_Torque kit. And it arrived just before Christmas. Its very nice to play with. I’ve taken all my carbon bits off and re-installed them just to play with it.

    Di2 on a winter bike? Bah, that beats the P2M crankset on mine. Now, where did I put those spare SRAM Red bits?

    Di2 on a winter bike?

    Makes a lot of sense as it still shifts perfectly even when a bit filthy. And after a summer of Di2 going back to the old mechanical 105 that was on there was a bit rubbish.

    Love those Silca ratchets up there. Very tempted myself.

    A nice metal spoon to replace the plastic one that I’ve been using to tamp coffee. Amazing the difference it makes.

    Got myself a new turbo trainer when the old one stopped letting me change resistance. The gift of winter fitness.

    A ridiculous indulgence of a cassette remover. But it’s so tactile that even the wife likes playing with my (new) tool.

    @Merak normally it would be best part of £5k but I’ve thrown in the bike so the restoration job is £2.5k. The bike cost me £1k.

    An old XJ 250?

    Looks lovely, not overly quick IIRC but way better than the Superdream of the same era.

    Not jealous, nope.

    Picked up a Panasonic GX80 with kit lens, should arrive tomorrow. Hoping it will reignite my passion for photography (and hopefully ignite a new one for video) beyond Instagram pictures of buildings from odd angles.
