I'll get another job. This one isn't worth to sh1t myself at work.

Can't you run just that bit quicker. Or make certain you're never more than five minutes from a working toilet!

I've heard people saying their jobs are crap, but not being able to is new to me.

I'll get another job. This one isn't worth to sh1t myself at work.

When I worked with mentally disabled clients, I was told that if someone who needed assistance or supervision asked to go to the toilet, even delaying was a breach of their human rights, let alone to deny access.

Well in that case what's the point of having wc at work? If we all could run just a bit quicker and actually go home for no.1 or no.2.

You said you cycled to work.

Can you imagine clocking out before going?

That's a brilliant idea! I can run a bit quicker, actually I can run home and used wc at home!
Hmmm, I wonder why we need wc at work then if we all can run just a bit quicker and use our home wc.

Everyone on site running to your house. Stick a coin slot on your door.

I still can't find my mobile phone !
Should I make a list of places to look and then start at the last place ?

If you're not using your computer/tablet to type this mesage, check your hands.

Attempt no #7, 854 to get the back brake to work properly on my Rudge has actually been pretty successful this time. A lot of time spent getting everything just so, straightening the linkages and removing as much play as possible mean it's now possible to lock the back wheel

Rod brakes get a bad reputation but I do wonder what they were like when the bike was new and before 70 odd years of wear created a lot of slack. It's easy to get the front working well enough but the back brake has a lot more points for wear. You can see the groves in the bolts. It's tempting to drill and ream out to the next size up and fit new bolts. I assume they are some sort of hardened steel.

Nice leisurely 30 miler in the evening visiting the stone circle en-route.

Is that what they're using now instead of traffic cones on roadworks over there!!

Another relaxed day of pottering around completed.

A morning trip to Lidl resulted in a whole load of shopping setting me back just over £10 thanks to a voucher from Confused.com for using them to swap over my car insurance earlier in the month (and saving £20 by doing so). A bit of Windows shopping while having a coffee uncovered a pair of decent wheels in stock but not available to purchase online in Decathlon in Cambridge, so an email was fired off to them enquiring if they could be reserved for collection.

I then popped out for a couple of hours on the bike while listening to whatever match was on the radio.

When I got home I found that Decathlon had replied and confirmed that they would hold the wheels until Monday so I've cashed in most of my bonus voucher from work on an e-voucher to pay for them and have booked the rail ticket as it's cheaper than driving & parking so that's Monday's day out sorted.

A cold beer is now being consumed while I make absolutely no pland for Sunday.

Thousands of years from now, archaeologists will be excavating the traffic cone circle and druids will travel for many miles to watch the winter solstice at the traffic cone national monument.

Wondering who created it and why. What rituals did they perform within it.

You need to bury some bones nearby*. That'll really get them wondering. Especially if you put the bones of more than one animal in the same spot. Can you imagine them trying to get them all in the correct place.

*Unless the workmen find them first, and report their find to the Guards.

Time for some miles

Sometimes one of my cats follows me out into the field and we walk together for about 100 yards.

One of my cat's used to do that . She would wait there until I returned .
