Why am I sitting here reading and posting?

[Cyclopathic]

I've got stacks of work to do, plus a wheel to build, so why am I not getting on with it?

I've used the excuse of having a coffee, now I'm just being lazy! Come on yello, get your arse into gear!

Yeah, me too. I've been on a course all week so I've got work piled up that I'm really going to get on with very soon. Wheel to true and fit, entire bike to put back together, sort out the brakes on a bmx (cheap gyro system that's going to come off if I've got anything to do with it. Which I have) and a Brompton to assess for damage and then fix after the rider came off in the rain.
I may just get the wheel trued, sprocket and tyre swapped and see how I feel.

The misses reminded me that there was a brocante on in a nearby village. So we went up and had a nose about. And now I'm back.... sitting, reading and posting on the thread about sitting, reading and posting. I'm beginning to think I'm a character in a Kafka novel.

What did I post? A Sopwith Camel?

You do have to wonder what on earth people of that era would make of modern aviation!!

I've got a cold and am feeling miserable, coughing up phlegm.
But never mind, the Tour comes on soon

I've changed my avatar to a picture of Louis Bleriot




......he's got a brilliant moustache

That isn't, that's just one of those trained caterpillars that were all the rage at the time!!

Ooh la la, Alitalia next, I do hope the clouds clear for it!!

All I've done this morning so far is decant a demijohn of carrot wine .

Every so often you come across a phrase and just have to wonder whether it has ever appeared in writing before, in the entire history of human civilisation.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Yep, just seen it, 772, EI-ISA

That is all.

 

[yello]

Donger, I get the vague feeling I'd really like to drink far too much beer with you and discuss what it is to be human. We'd not resolve anything but I've always been one to prefer the journey over the destination anyway.

 

[yello]

The misses has just produced some chocolate hobnobs (was there ever a better line for the actress).....

...this could be a long afternoon.

 

[Donger]

As long as it's not carrot beer.

I've just come out in goosebumps, not had them for years.
