Does that mean it's being delivered by Owl?

That'll be where Mrs T's owl was last night then, busy flying up to Toytown with you light....

Well it is now late. A late Owl. Does this mean it's pining for the fjords? Who can say?

The frame bag for my Genesis should turn up today - was only ordered last week, so a week to actually make it and ship it out is pretty darned impressive

I hope he's not a late owl, shuffled off this mortal coil etc...

Maybe he just needed a rest?

Anyway onto my good news, I have just received a tax rebate notification from Norway.

I am due somewhere in the order of £900!!!!

New Garmin, maybe?

Hoorah. Mrs. B has decided that she will be going to Aqua-Salsa, or whatever it is there days, tonight. That means I get to be dropped off at the "Man Creche" and picked up two hours later.

What beers are sold in your creche?

or do the neighbours really think you will be that much help with the DIY project.

Is a Man Creche where Men Crache?

It sells a reasonably acceptable ale, unimaginably named Cwrw.
I say reasonably acceptable, because most pubs away from the towns don't keep ale.

Apparently I won a prize at the LBS's turbo-trainer challenge yesterday ...

... trouble is, the buggers won't tell me what it is. Ah well, you can never have enough wooden spoons

I took a photograph of my sister's handbag during the karate class tonight.

We made another audaxer

Does that make it a Carradice by proxy?

jogler · « **Reply #5537 on:** 23 October, 2012, 06:46:10 am »

is that handbag not a bar bag?

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #5538 on:** 23 October, 2012, 07:08:16 am »

Nope, it a perfectly sensible real Handbag. But she likes her badges well enough to have 'em on her bag - I think she's quite proud of 'em. And so she should be! I'm quite proud of her, too. A year and a half ago her longest ride was less than 10 miles, and she found that knackering. And now she has badges! (And CU even has points. And they're up to 4 bikes between them. Bwahahahahaaaaaaa.....)

The date is already set, and planning under way.

After procrastinating for 6+ months, I finally got my aeropress sorted for work coffee. OMFG, this thing is AWESOME! Proper expresso strength coffee in 1 minute. It's the tits, proper strong latte in the morning and then I can do a strong a hell short black 'allongé' in the PM!

FTFY

Given that I'd run out of coffee at work and couldn't be arsed to go to Sainsbury's again, I brought in some coffee from home - Mocha Djimmah, Turkish grind; although the Aeropress instructions state that a fine grind is good it would appear that there are limits ...

Even though I practically had an aneurysm pressing the bloody thing, the resulting coffee was really rather good.
