Morning!
It's dark so I don't know what the weather is doing. I'll check later.

Good morning, bikes in the car and I'm of to the garage in a bit to drop the car in for MOT and service. Whilst it's in I'm out on a bike ride. It's very 
out there.
out there.
Woke up to flashing lights outside the house. It was 07.00 and pitch black so the lights appeared very bright.
Mrs Dave jumped out of bed saying "blinkin eck (or similar) its a police car. Oh hang on....I think its a fire engine. err err ohh.....its the bin wagon".
I was due to get up at 07.15 anyway as Thursday is golf day.
Jobs done, all dishes out of washer put away etc. Lamb out of freezer......ready for me to make the Karahi curry. Tea taken up to Mrs Dave (still in shock from the police car/fire engine/bin wagon).
Sat down with my cuppa now before my shower.

Hello again. I've had coffee and my porridge is on the cooker (stove). It's a bit grey (the weather not my porridge) and breezy.
Today will now be an allotment** day (a piece of land on which Brits grow fruit and vegetables and keep chucks (chickens). First though I need to organise engraving on the club trophies for the Awards Night. This is very stressful, getting the right names on the right trophies
** Allotments also involve sheds. This is a deep, mysterious and secret business in which men indulge themselves......but more of this in the future.
This enlighten of American friends is fun!

Off out soon to buy a wood burner for the casa (housey, housey) as here in the evening it's starting to get a bit cool, so the winter months will be very cool if we decide to come over. We will get one with a small oven section on the top, so we can chuck in a casserole and save on the old electric.

According to the BBC website, in the health section there is a report that says taller people are more at risk of getting cancer than short people. I am all right then.

Ah, but I'm tall and beautiful, so I should be ok.
Just done a back and chest session. Now settling down with a c Clooneys and Dave Draper's new book, Iron in My Hands. A fascinating read for all muscle heads and disciples of the iron.
Draper was one of Schwarzeneggers contemporaries in the 60s. He won Mr America, Mr Universe, and was on the cusp of taking the big one, the Olympia title, when he suddenly became disillusioned with the publicity, the business, and shallow pretence of it all. He quit competitive building but keep training, dropped out of society, and perhaps had a breakdown. He became a drug use and alcoholic, all the while still training, in his 40s he cleaned himself up, opened his own gym, and hasn't looked back. He's in his 70s now, still trains, is lean as an Ethiopean whippet, and still built like an outside lavatory.
I'd give my left plum to be jacked like him at 75...

My name is Ozymandias, king of Kings. Gaze upon my works ye mighty and despair.
Now Mrs D will be wondering why there's a random photo of me flexing on her phone!
