Today Mrs Cudzo bought a bike! Rather a nice one too, and at a bargain price. On Thursday I am showing her good places for cycling round Bristol (cos she's busy tomorrow).

What on earth did you expect?

That's so that you can get engaged properly when changing gear.

Congrats Lady C, and I guess Sir ( or Lord ) C.

My good news is that I have not 1, not 2 but 3 interviews next week!

Under caution or voluntary?

Good luck!

Sorry T, the season's passed. Two of my friends got jobs on the same day as me, together we used up all the good luck for the year.

Break a leg!

On holiday from work. Now in Coniston with bike, and the sun has been shining today. Just hope the weather holds.

Passed my intermediate ham radio license today, apparently I'm now more geeky according to my wife

Congratulations

Are you aiming for the full ("advanced") license? It's a bit of a pain to get up to that nowadays, it was much easier when you just rocked up to the local college one evening and sat a couple of multiple choice exams, rather than this multi-stage thing we have now with enforced practicals etc.

Just had a call, my wheels have been built and my frame is ready to send so hopefully they will be here by the end of the week \o/

Barakta and I are about to go for a bike ride...

woollypigs · « **Reply #5839 on:** 01 May, 2013, 02:58:41 pm »

I have been on 4 rides since Saturday, boy it feels good to be back on wheels again after six months hiatus, ok only 35'ish miles in all.

clarion · « **Reply #5840 on:** 01 May, 2013, 03:05:23 pm »

Excellent.

I saw 'clarion' and 'good news thread' and jumped to conclusions.

clarion · « **Reply #5842 on:** 01 May, 2013, 03:40:49 pm »

I can delight in others' good news, too, you know

Jan and I have just put together our insurance claim for our ruined Bath trip over Easter. The total (rail fares, accommodation and course fees) came to £710.

I find filling such forms in and finding all the evidence for money spent to be completely tedious. In the end, the only bit I couldn't find the originals for was the outward rail journey (no reason to keep tickets) but the amount shows up on my credit card statement.

I have another job! The call has just come through, duration and start date TBC.

Not such a bad day after all? Has that improved your mood?
