[Levo-Lon]

Cycled to work on the hard tail.
Back on a diet get fit thingy again.
I only need to lose about 4-5 lbs.

I think I just did the hard tail does seem a tad harder than the Boardman ..soaked in sweat and feeling a bit tired.

Totally cream crackered - physically and emotionally.

Rolled out at 8am, didn't get back till just gone midnight, four trains, two tube rides, a ridiculously hilly 50k (what a totally crackpot way to pop my metric half cherry), a cut tyre, an unshipped chain, two clipless moments - one of which was on returning home. I have a scuffed saddle and bar tape, one oiled-up sock, sunburn and a messed-up head.

And I squeezed in a visit to the grave of someone who always has been and always will be very dear to me. Hence the roses I mentioned the other day...

Now unwinding with a before bed.

Well done to you.
Quite an adventure.

Morning. The Sun is trying to break through the light cloud we have here. I suppose I had better get moving although I'm feeling shattered after yesterday. I think it must have been allnthe chatting and making jokes that has worn me out. I bought a kiddies balance bike which needs repairing whilst I was there, IllI have a look at it later.

Let's hope you have a better day today

Thanks, I'll try to xxx If I stay awake, that is...

Well done to you.
Quite an adventure.

Adventure doesn't even begin to describe it. Those hills were *torture*... I shan't be complaining about the mere pimples around here again. But there's definitely a real sense of accomplishment this morning.

But oh man, I'm sooooooooooo sore. Didn't sleep so good as a result. So having a quiet and reflective day. Might break out the art stuff later and just have a dabble.

Trying to understand the computer system while listening to the shunting drivers swearing at each other outside. It's the regular morning symphony in our little yard.

On the other hand, German is such a wonderful language to swear in...

Indeed it is. Currently using it to its fullest potential while wrestling with Excel...

On the other hand there's no translation in German for the word "Subtle". Make of this what you will.

Did I tell you why I chose my forum name?

Do tell...

 

[Speicher]

I have a German grandmother which explains the German connection, and a good memory. Speicher is the word in German for computer memory. It is also a word for warehouse. Coincidentally there is a famous cyclist called Speicher, but I did not know that when I chose the name.

Did the chores and had a nice five mile FLAT bimble to help work out the stiffness from yesterday. Not an incline in sight.

Not cooking tonight. Tipped the remaining of friday night's pasta down the hatch at lunchtime, think I'm just going to settle for a pot of tea, some toast and whatever's lurking in the fridge that wants eating. There's roast beef, an assortment of cheeses, cooked chicken, tomatoes and avocados. I should be able to put together something tasty from that lot.

A Speiche (No 'r') is German for a spoke in a bicycle wheel...

It can also mean the upright stretchers (?) that hold up a bannister.

CBA with food. Just plumped for and some avocado on toast.

To be fair, I'm just not that hungry...

I've just been asleep for an hour. I am now awake.

I've just seen a small Hedgehog out on our back lawn. It is the size of a fist. I think it is one of this year's models.
