Friday- burning the pallets and the old bit of carpet we used as a stage for the Greek Pineapple tragedy

Morning

Looks a bit dreich, possibly dry up later, maybe make some more chutney, after coffee.

 

[wakemalcolm]

Signs of dreichness but no rain; we're promised better later. Sounds a bit 'jam tomorrow'.......or chutney.

Was hoping for the delivery of a new front tyre by now. There's a slash in my current one that's making me nervous and reducing the radius of my rides.

Coffee and scones.

Let's see if we can do a daily thread where the word 'coffee' is in every post I've had some.

Working from home, we a bit knackered last night after that conference thing on Wednesday night, so slept well. Tyre people coming round in a bit to sort the world's slowest puncture, which a PITA as I'd hoped it was just an iffy pressure gauge. Got some number torturing to do in the meantime, then it's over the line and into the weekend.

Nice cup of TEA to start the day then into the realm of chaos.
Fishing trip planned for Saturday and into Sunday so hoping the weather gods are on my side as there's nothing worse than getting wet setting up and packing away wet gear the day after.

Afternoon
Its dull but dry here, so coffee consumed and Bertie walked. Mrs W talked about going to the local museum but I’ve just looked and it’s closed on Fridays. So it might be a case of doing very little with the rest of the day.

Late post today for me. CBA to cancel ride or give into shingles, painkillers and cream taken appear to have worked. Managed to rise 75 miles to Skeg-vegas in almost ideal weather, just a pity about the occasional knob heads insisting on close passing us. Luckily majority of ride is quiet roads and cycle paths. Currently in a migrant free Premier inn, looking forward to some sleep.

Well, if you haven't got time to fix the shingles,
Have you got time to fix that floor?
The carpet's hideous.

i suggest demolition dancing

a couple of years back i volunteered for a research study on co-administering shingles vaccine with covid or flu jabs, definitely glad to be jabbed, it can be nasty

Yep, definitely a vaccine worth having (as they all are to be fair)

Sadly to late this time also to young, suspect I'll get offered one shortly though.

Side effects are a bit of something I had a rash on my arm for a couple of weeks from the second one. Mind thats small beer compared to the real thing apparently.

 

[oxoman]

Luckily mines mildish, sadly the pain in the arm is something else. I thought I'd pulled a muscle then realised it was moving up and down my arm, quack suggested painkillers to subdue it. Feels like someone's punched me up and down the arm at times. Still managed 150 plus miles over 2 days chewing painkillers and anti inflammatory's.
