It’s just spoiling the view of the mountains behind it.

That’s some power he’s got if he’s getting it to land in Denmark

I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like.
It’s got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good.
I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

😀

Ground anchor, big chain and padlock!

Then build yourself a nice workbench, fix a couple of boards to the wall to hang your tools off.

If you have power, buy a fridge and put beer in it.

1. Stand by toaster until it pops
2. Butter toast immediately
3. Apply Marmite
4. Eat

Repeat until full. The choice of bread and butter is not important.

Cuttlefish. Rubbery.

Appletise. 3 weeks on the wagon so far. Building nicely for the final day of the 6 nations which I shall be spending in the pub with a couple of good friends…all 3 games…oh dear.

We stopped off in Jasper for a few days when travelling on the train from Toronto to Vancouver and hired a couple of hard tails to explore the nearby trails. Watch out for bears and angry moose.

We had

Fish Kushboo (made with naga chilies)
Sag Paneer
Boiled Rice
Tandoori Chicken
Pappadum, raita and salad.

I am pleasantly replete.

Yes. It seems I am lucky compared to many. The whole thing encouraged me to take stock and make some changes to my lifestyle. I certainly enjoy treats more these days and I’m a lot more aware of what I’m eating/drinking.

I’ll never forget the strangled burbling noise that Jiffy made just before Shane Williams scored the winner against Scotland in 2010.

Nice away win for Brizzle at Bedford. C’mon Bris!

cg – yeah, pretty much. It took 18 months to find a dose of Levothyrooxine where my TSH levels are stable and not pinging around all over the place. Cycling-wise, my fitness and stamina are back where they were before I started feeling crap. Losing 10kg last year certainly helped my well being.

Edit: making sure I take my meds well before breakfast makes a difference too, I believe

ecstasy and cocaine

Wot no hookers? Is that not the standard response?

Seriously though, I’m always tired. A combination of a 3 year old child and hypothyroidism doesn’t help but riding me bike is always a tonic.

FFS! Stop arguing!

Rubbish? RUBBISH!!??

Yeah, s’pose it was. 😀

Well, if it’s any consolation, I’m spending the day completing a job application. It’s almost sunny. I should be out on my bike.

👿

EDIT: Can’t really help on the argument front, sorry.

That’s the prettiest ugly bike I’ve seen for a while 😉

Very nice!

Looks to me like the tackler released Ashton, found his balance by placing his hands on the ground, then legally challenged for the ball. Ashton holds on. Penalty to blue? Question is, had the ref called ruck?

Been there
Done that
Got the…er…

Another vote for Obscured By Clouds here. Meddle also deserves a mention.

Flossing every day means I don’t need to see a dental hygienist.

Surreptitious frottaging in high street furniture stores

Edit: And removing splinters

I feel the same way about the Bonty Racelite Hardcase tyres on my road bike. I’ve just fitted the fourth set of them in 6 years. 1 solitary puncture in that period.

I recently got some Control Tech Carbon Comp bars from Germany at a reduced price. They look a bit bonkers but they definitely mute some of the vibration from the road compared to the alloy bars they replaced. They also have cunning internal routing for that tidy cockpit look. 😀

Sound the Octo Alert!

Yeah. Same for my paternal line, except that the age is 65.

PSA’s decisions yesterday were baffling. At least he left Picamoles on the pitch.

As for the refereeing, bring back Spreaders! 😀

The ref mike should be switched off when Barnes is officiating. He seems to love the sound of his own voice.

Predictions for this weekend’s 6N?

Wales by 2 scores
England by 2 scores
Scotland by 1 score

POSTED 1 DAY AGO #

Not a bad bunch of guesses! OK, so Wales won by 3 scores and Ireland should have won today… 8)

Hmmm, soggy in Rome. Should make it tighter. So, Wales by a score.

34t chainring, 11-36 cassette, Shadow+ mech with a top chain guide here. Means I can ride almost everything, no dropped chain and absolutely no chain suck. Which is nice.

Up on top of the Skyline trail, above the fog and below the sun. Knackered from the climb and wishing I’d brought a flask of something.

Ty Seren B&B in Dolgellau is worth a look.

My step-sister used to eat steamed/boiled tripe by the plate load. She also used to sleep with her eyes open, standing up behind the living room door. She’s also ginger.

She is not a cat.

Cycled to work.
Cycled home.
In the sun!! 🙂
