I'd cleaned my wife's car yesterday morning, and she has just brought it back like this !! Jet wash out then bucket and sponge and an hour later, it's clean again. I'm sure they didn't go go-karting and went to do Rally Cross

Lovely cake, is Mario edible?
As my OH wants to know!

Mario was edible, well certainly the hat... that was as far down as we got. The narrow body of Mario was made out of packed rice crispies which she showed us, and apparently there was a spike in the middle to make it stable (good job as excited children leaned on the table. And it was strawberry flavoured cake which was the birthday boy's request!

I need to do mine at some point, my white car is a fetching shade of grey at the moment.

My wife is now recovering from the hen doo in bed - more lack of sleep than alcohol, as she was sharing a room with her sister, who never shut's up talking. Like a good hubby, I've been out and bought the food shop, done 4 wash loads (including skiing stuff) put Sunday roast in the oven and taken up sliced lemon in hot water to my good lady. I should be riding, but my back isn't good. Time to surf the sofa !!!

Mine is silver, so does hide the dirt quite well, although it's clean today ! I hate mud like that as the stuff dries on like concrete.

Really rotten night's sleep. Horrible day outside. I'm staying in my onesie. About to put the rugby on.

Just consumed lunch of tiger roll with prawns, mayo and avocado. However, note to self: put the cats out while consuming prawns, even if you have already given them their share...

I just managed to get a twig (curse that wind!) trapped between mudguard and wheel, which forced the mudguard to concertina up and jam against the wheel. Luckily it unconcertina'd easily without doing that foul-the-wheel thing that mudguards seem so fond of doing.

I have planted one hop rhizome in the garden whilst Foodie has done manly things in the shed such as putting up bike racks and a big shelf.

Unfortunately I got a bit enthusiastic about gardening and have twanged something in my back. I'm now soaking in the bath whilst manly thing with power tools continue outside.

I have just driven 38 miles to an appointment only to discover that I was a month early.

Twat.

You could wait

No, I couldn't, I would miss Carl after about a week.

Oh dear! It's so frustrating isn't it? I hope the bath has helped.

I've done something silly to my back too this morning. I bent down and twisted at the same time and felt a sharp pain across my lower back. I must have strained something and I really hope it settles soon. After a busy family weekend, this afternoon was meant to be spent cleaning my filthy bike from Friday. Next Sunday I am meant to be riding a 60 mile sportive with the club!!
Fingers crossed everyone please.

We went for a walk and returned with shoes and a handbag.

That's called retail therapy innit? Or were you blagging the charity skips again?

For my latest project/madcap scheme I today purchased two twinslot shelf uprights, two twinslot shelf brackets, 10 penny washers, 25 machine screws and 100 nuts. Packet sizes are a funny thing.

I again had to get up at god knows what am (okay, 6:50am) to take DQ to her Air Cadet course. Still, it was amusing watching Mungo attack one end of her headphones and Midge the other. She passed, by the way.
