My turn!
I have done more riding recently than in oooooooh, ages. And enjoyed it.
Last weekend won not one but 2 prizes at the Inov8 iroc.
I finished work at dinner today.
And then had a kip.
Just had a nice tea.
Might do a bit o' fettlin' on the SS later.
Got a choice of riding on Sunday.
Best of all got a phone call this morn from local temp agency offering me two tickets to the match on Sat in corporate hospitality. 3 Course meal and FREE BAR! Get the **** in!!!
Folks arriving from Aus in 2 weeks. Not seen them since 2005. 3 holidays in a month coming 🙂
Got a lovely new bike and have discovered road riding.
Four Tet playing loudly on the stereo. For which I've just got some tasty new speakers.
Company just had best month ever, subsequently providing highest ever yearly turnover.
Difficult new product launched today, went smoothly after endless amounts of hard work.
Said product being featured on the BBC on Sunday, massive boost for our company.
Just had a call from an agent wanting me for an interview next week. The employer wants to fast track my interview process for Technical Director so I can be compared against the two people they have been interviewing, one of which they rejected today.
I appear to be on a short list of two before I my first interview. God I must be good.
Family all happy & healthy

Just watched an old fella die peacefully at work, and it makes me think there's a lot of living still to do.
I creak and groan, I ache, I suffer for my activities, but while I still can, I will...
*I have just had an offer accepted on an utterly fantastic house in the South Lakes that we couldn't have afforded under normal market conditions!
*Life looks to be finally getting back on track again after several months.
*I have started riding my bike again 😉 Early days yet, but hopefully it is a new start like!
*Just been for an ace Italian meal, and a few ales! We may have wandered past the new house just to make sure it was still there too!
😀 Wife is 11 weeks pregnant with IVF child MkII, thankyou Fertility Associates!
Finished off 4 assignments on time last week, only one to go for a wee while.
My little girl is healthy and getting cuter by the day.
Sold a dumpster bike which I renovated into a nice ride to a mate to get him commuting for the princely sum of $100.
Will spend said dollars on myself at some point this week.
Also CFH what you been drinking lately? your posts are of exceptionally high calibre. 😀

Am just in an unfathomly good mood about the world at present! 8)
I have a great wife and healthy children. I have great friends who I can call on.
This all reinforced by having no job, discovering that it's not the end of the world.
Just had the first barby of the year. And the sun shone.
The two little binners had a field day runing around the garden
I've got the lovely Mrs Binners sat one side of me and a cold beer on t'other.
Just ordered some new brakes from Merlin
I'm off out riding tomorrow
....with Hora. So I won't be bringing up the rear 🙂
Had a fun ride on new trails (for me) in Exmoor
I've got a job and food and stuff.
It's Sunday
didn't get out of bed till 10:30
Made a great Full English this morning for me and the wife
Done all my paperwork that i needed to do
It's not too hot today (don't like hot weather)
Back to work tomorrow (week off DIY'ing, glad to see the back of that)
New coffee table
The wife is doing the dishes
Hmmmmmmm!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Hm!
ah got one... i look good in an aldi bamboo top and am enjoying making and getting to know a new friend 🙂 WOOT!
11 more days to find out if my collarbone has bothered knitting back together, i'll have a better idea when i can resume the little work i've got lined up.
And i've got a tax return to fill out.
Well maybe I shouldn't admit to suffering depression and panic attacks and stuff, but I've been really struggling out here and am desperate to get home. I thought I was on a 3 month notice period, as did my boss, but going through my paperwork tonight I seem to have found a contract that says I am on one month's notice. I do actually need to work in May, but this week I will try and confirm I am just on one month's notice, meaning I can get back to Scotland for June as I so desperately want to do.
So yeah been struggling but am still one to try and change things around and am lucky I am in a position to do so.
My turn, had a fab late evening roadie yesterday, and ran the legs of a mate (first time this has happened, must be getting fitter) Trustyrusty came round this morning with lots of lovely SS bits for my new build, Button won the F1, have had a lovely lazy day with the Missus and our dog, just had a gorgeous roast beef dinner, oh and i start my new job tomorrow...
.... oh and i have a rhubarb crumble cooking which should be ready in about 10 minutes,
hardest thing now is what to have on it cream or ice cream (too warm for custard)
I've got a big bottle of Leffe Blonde and there's been a slow cooked stew on all day! (Meat from Robinsons, of course).
Might have to open a bottle of GOC to have with the stew! (GOC= Berry Bros Good Ordinary Claret, does exactly what it says on the bottle!)
