Morning chaps. Looks like another beautiful day here. Blue skies and sunshine, a few clouds and no breeze at all.

Hello! Another beautiful day here, I may have to get the bike out. Meeting up with the gang at 9.00. There is some debate over hills or flat for today. I've been charged with providing a route so I'm taking one of each - the debate can continue at the meet point.

Up, been out in the gym. Crunches and a bit of light leg work.

Was going to ride over to see a mate in Newport Pagnell today, but it's just going to be too hot.

morning everyone.

After a horrendous week of chasing back and forwards to Weston Park hospital with my mum, I've made it to Essex for a break.
No bike, no Homebrew, but lots of sunshine, my wife and my dog, so hopefully a short break before I'm back on duty again sharing caring duties with my sisters, well I say sisters, more like "sister", as one of them seems to think she's too busy to pull her weight :-(

Morning all.
Still suffering with my neck. Thinking we might have to cancel going away next week.

Morning all, sunny again today. I'm off to yet another retirement do this afternoon. Two former colleagues who have both pounded the rails for over 40 years each have decided to hang up their keys and ride off into the sunset. That makes 7 of us in the last 18 months. Nearly 300 years of combined service and experience have left. But, on the flip side, it allows the youngsters to come through and continue the traditions on the railway.

have you tried sleeping with a collar?

I have to do that now, and it has made a huge difference

 

[Drago]

Work? I hate that word. Makes me feel even sweatier and clemmie than normal.

Tried it the other night. Didn't make any difference.

 

[Drago]

No rode today, just oppressively hot. Strangely though, the breeze from the north is relatively cool.

I "liked" that comment
but it wasnt a "like" like...... it was more of a "not like like".
Hope it eases off soon.

Whats the opposite of lively, sprightly, full of beans, energetic, good, happy etc.
Whatever it is thats how I feel**.
Mrs Ds 70th yesterday. Son and girl friend stayed over and too much dirty alcohol was forced down my neck.
Out for lunch later (they insist) then a surprise 'do' for Mrs D tonight.
**oh I know, I feel sh*t*.

Self inflicted. No sympathy
