Getting more and more fucked off with National express and ouibus as some how managed to book the wrong dates and can't alter them or cancel the ticket.

There's something ineffably sad about the juxtaposition of that post with mine, I do hope it gets better, Gatto.

At the mo, it feels like everything I touch goes to poo. Oh and lots and lots of avoidance.

The worst bit is that it is of my own making and really should be that I should learn to say no. Or just be more self centered.

Sell that journey to someone else and start again?

Where would you sell a journey?

Also would have the option to buy a journey

I’m in a pub with a sign saying “thieves operate in this area “, they certainly do. The barmaid gave me change from £5 after I gave her a tenner..

Oh, very sorry sir as I pointed out the error

Sitting in the Royal Albert Hall waiting for tonight’s Prom to start.
In the stalls by the left side of the stage wearing shorts & a pink, white & blue striped t shirt. It’s too hot for formal dress.

It's the Proms, casual is the order of the day. Enjoy!

Damn, I’m too early for my train back to Liverpool. I’ll have to kill some time at the Euston Tap

Mulling over whether to put a lazy Fender-style head on my current build or attempt a scarf joint in this heat.

Sitting in Waitrose waiting for the European Championships time trial to start. It’s raining but I’ve got a good view from here!

Not a lot. I'm sat at my soon not to be my desk in the office, watching the youngsters worry about all the things that worried me until last week some time. The jungle drums are beating and the volume of emails demanding my attention seems to have dropped off a cliff.

I know I'm irrelevant in the grand scheme, but it still hurts when others become aware of it.

Approaching morning, from the wrong end.

Have been up all night tending a rather large smoker full of pork shoulder and brisket.

It had better be good as it is to serve to colleagues at our summer party. No pressure, then!

Started rewrapping handlebars on the tourer. Can I find the replacement tape? Can I b....xxxx. Had to order some. Sigh.

Being alternately over and underwhelmed at the National Eisteddfod in Cardiff. I popped down on the bus because
a) I can
b) old buggers bus pass

All done

very amicable and I will be leaving early September. And with a healthy gap between that day and the start of the new gig to get some proper cycling in

Just stopped at a McD for a wee on route to Yorkshire to visit parents and collect Dr Beardy (Mrs).

Indulging myself with Star Wars Episode IV (the second best episode), and A glass of Tobermory. Son is fast asleep and wife and daughter in Corfu.

Watching a child across the road learning to ride a bike: She's been riding up and down the stretch of pavement for a while now, and the (single?) bolt attaching the port stabiliser appears to have loosened, to the effect that it pivots up out of the way whenever she leans to that side. After a series of unplanned dismounts she's successfully modified her starting-off strategy to compensate (leaning to the right to maintain tricycle steering dynamics), and seems to be in bicycle mode once she gets some speed up, so with any luck she'll have cracked it by the time the starboard one comes off...

ETA: Her mum's gone and spoiled it by ~~calling~~yelling them into the house.

Just about to get changed & go cycling, in the hope that a certain sausage-sandwich kiosk 70 km from here will be operating today, this being a public hol.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Not writing a course on our VLE because I am writing gobbledygook instead of providing information in a sensible, organised and informative manner. However, by sitting here typing on the forum, everyone things I am course writing!!! I figure that I given them enough of my time, they can give me a lunch break for a change.
