Well I’ve been busy doing “stuff”. Inconsequential stuff but stuff nonetheless. First thing this morning I went to the local builders merchants for another 2 x 25kg bags of slate chippings to finish off the border around the bay window. Now it’s up to SWMBO to tidy it all up over the weekend. I then went out on the Scrambler for a couple of hours. First couple of miles it seemed as though all God’s children were trying to kill me, with parked cars pulling out without looking and/or indicating and people who’d just parked up opening the drivers door without looking at what may be coming alongside them etc. But once I got out into the countryside where I could open it up a bit it was lovely as it was sunny and the roads were dry. Did 46 miles and came home for some lunch After lunch we booked a week’s holiday in a cottage in Rutland in July with my brother in law and his wife and during that week we’ll be going to the “Battles of the Proms” in Burghley, which should be good providing the weather plays ball. Tomorrow I think we are meant to be doing stuff in the garden.
^^^^^ exactly this, out for the first ride this year and felt like all the car drivers are asleep. Guess they arent bike aware this early in the year
On my last run out I had some c@nt in a small red car changed lanes without looking or indicating, causing me to brake hard to avoid him. We were approaching a red light and as he stopped I pushed the front wheel of my bike in to his rear bumper giving him a shove! Of course the air was blue, the dozy fucker.
Worked today , drove pass the Downs , which were packed , youngsters give me hope for the future , looks like their rejecting communism .
Had 9.4 cubic metres of concrete pumped around the back of my house. Now we’re totally out of the ground hopefully things should speed up. Got all the trellis replaced the full length of the garden in one day. Real result. Time off for good behaviour, I can see an essential journey coming up on Sunday.
Even though it’s only 9.15am and we’ve got the whole day ahead of us we’ve already decided we’re having fish and chips tonight and have ordered and paid for them online from the local chippy. That’s how exciting my life is today
Many moons ago i'd a friend that hated champagne, he always strirred the stuff until the bubbles were removed, what a strange bloke...just drink wine instead.
Chainsaw out this morning to cut back an overgrown Cobb nut tree that has been shading the neighbours' gardens on both sides. Not brutal, given the tree a bit more vertical shape and plan to thin again in two years. Got me wondering how the tree would respond to coppicing. Lots of clearing up still to do and fire up a bonfire later but rugby first. Last night's left over curry and a couple of beers just to get into the mood. Andy
