2 reports that have been sitting on my desk for the last month, have just been signed off.
It's too early for a decent whiskey, but damn these things have seen more revisions in the last three weeks than the debacle that the third runway has (almost)
I knacked my shoulder earlier in the year, after 3 months umming and ahhing I had the surgery about 7 weeks ago.
I'm Dead Chuffed I did, 6 weeks on, just back from a week in Corsica, swimming every day, lots of front crawl, back on the mtb too, bit of a niggle but it's not holding me back. I'll be off to the climbing wall shortly for a bash at that. So much better than before the surgery, massive step change in stability and utility.
So: 😀

My goddamn eczema seems to be back under control, which means I can get back to running and cycling without going insane.
Oh, and I've got a job interview in a week and a half. Fingers crossed.
Walkers cheese, cucumber crisps & salad cream, taste exactly like they say they will (well maybe not too cheesey).. which is just a totally bizarre flavour for a crisp
No port with the lunch OP?
In the office on my own working to 6 Music, a treat for the ears.

FTFY
i'm off to the lakes on friday for two days riding and a friend's wedding.
I've just done my 2nd zwift ride of the day as my early morning ride was rubbish.
This one was strong and fast. Well, in a relative context to my riding anyway.
I got home early enough for a quick bit or roadrage before it got dark and neither the drivers nor the wet leaves got anywhwere near to killing me
I've just seen a job ad that looks perfect. Time to see if I remember what a cv looks like
I'm part time, just had 3 days off, in tomorrow & Friday then off for four etc etc etc.
HMRC just told me they owe me some money.
MsD is in a mood & hasn't spoken to me since Sunday - the quiet is wonderful!
Venezuelan beaver cheese?
I am a middle aged UK male so very near the top of every known hierachy.
Just bought myself some new skis 😀
Aahh How about cheddar?
Spent a great few hours with my two boys today for my day of half term duty. Both have behaved themselves and been great fun. We've not had a boys only day out since about July so we made a proper day of it. Watching them growing up, play together well and learn is fantastic.
Don't get much call for it.
Nothing in particular is making me happy, other than I've not got anything of real import to make me otherwise.
Merlot
I've got a head cold. Means I can't smell the rather stinky cast on my wrist that a broke about 5 weeks ago in a crash at the FoD.
I am in Canada right now, and delivered a knock-out lecture at the university this afternoon.
And I've got a good family.
What do you lecture?SaxonRider - Member
... and delivered a knock-out lecture ...
It was a very long time since I attended lectures - most were boring in my days.
Which part of Canada as I know they can get very cold over there.
It's new bike day!
been in Paris since Monday - now I'm not.
We're taking our caravan down to Wareham forest tomorrow to its winter seasonal pitch. Slow work through Dec to Feb means plenty of time down there, some riding, maybe climbing weather permitting and lots of time in the various great pubs down there.
I'm off to ride CX at Rapha's Munich Supercross, all packed, flight in the morning, long off-road ride Saturday, CX on Sunday, flight back Monday PM.
I'm expecting lots of Pork, Gerkins and Beer.
Sum of Awe.
Just had my 1st Peak ale of the night (paxton) from the pump & very nice it is too
Had yesterday mooching along Eastbourne sea front with just MrsMC, today the two of us had a child free yomp around Ashdown Forest, including a pub lunch stop.
But the reason I'm really happy today? I spotted that I'd accidentally paid the deposit for my new bike out the joint account before she did, and transferred the money over to cover my trail. Just need to intercept the hard copy statement in the post now. Otherwise I may have to [s]lie and[/s] give her the impression that the deposit was the full payment....
Oh ya ... I have rediscovered gin & tonic again ... wonderful.
Completely forgotten the taste until last week.
