.........Mundanity #2: I just finished writing my Pyrénées cycling videos. During the 29 days of riding, I recorded 42 videos (descents from the aforementioned cols, ski stations, etc.) using a helmet-mounted GoPro camera, and since they're in high-definition, they totalled about 130GB. I wrote all the video files to DVDs, including a 2nd copy of each, so I had to write 2 * 42 DVDs, so it took a while. But they're all backed up now.

Link to the Youtube clips, please.

Do hurry up now.......

I've a very minor cold, but with it comes the most god-awful sore throat I've had for many a long year. It woke me up 4 or 5 times last night, so I'm as dopy as RealLeeHimself and meta Ion presumably are this morning.

Sounds like you've picked up the same bug as I have. I got up in the night for a P, couldn't settle and came downstairs so my coughing wouldn't wake my Good Lady.
 
Day off today
Taken the step daughters washing machine out as broken
New one delivered later so nip round and refit later. Seems pointless to waste money when I can do it

Bedroom I decorated 2 weeks ago looks pretty good! They have new carpet coming

Start ripping bathroom out next weekend , I had a quick look at it all and none of the pipe work has isolators which is unfair!

I'm just changing 50 toilet cistern pipes and fitting new pipe and isolators.
Only 3 yrs old too!!
The Ideal standard plastic pipe that costs £50 is rubbish,threads are just disintigrating where the fiber washer goes.
I've just binned them and used 2 press fit connectors and a bit of copper pipe.
£10 per apartment .. should save a fortune in flood repairs.

More symps from me too!:cuppa:
Elsewhere in Mundane world, I discovered a street in Edinburgh just off the Grassmarket called Lady Wynd- maybe she ate too many Sprouts and thereby gave the toon its moniker of Auld Reekie:reading:.
 
I went out for a cycle ride this morning as it was lovely and sunny out. I met a few other cyclists who had a similar idea. I cycled 9 miles and stopped several times to admire the view. :whistle:

Did a nice 20 miler in and around Littleport this morning. Was fabby being out on the bike, although they'd gritted Parson's Lane cos of the primary school and quack's surgery being down there and they don't want peeps tipping up on a diddy bit of frost. Of course, the roads were sopping wet by the time I rode through, so cleaned and lubed Wiggy when I got back home.

It'll be Wiggy's second "gotcha day" next weekend - not doing so bad for a two year old bike with a fair bit of mileage on the clock. Just a couple of minor scuffs here and there. Will need to fit new bar tape and new brake pads soon though. I've had such fun over the last two years.

Had a bit of a kitchen afternoon, prepping tomorrow's cullen skink.

Cauliflower & broccoli cheese tonight along with last night's leftover randoms, plus the rest of the apple pudding. :hungry:

Hope you feel more chipper soon xxx :hugs:

Might I recommend chamomile tea with a thick slice of lemon and a generous dollop of honey? It's really rather soothing.
