Repairing the cardboard box from the boat's vacuum cleaner.

Using much more effort than the job deserves

Chris S & I are having a Smith Celebratory Weekend.

Will Smith.

Now that I have discovered he's the same age as me, I'm starting the weekend by daydreaming of what I would have done with him at school.

Novelty wedding gift preparations: having done the initial pile sort, now about to divvy up into sets and really hoping I haven't lost any tiles...

ETA: Phew!

That looks interesting....

Resting, with a cat on lap and a well earned G&T after a vist to the gym, a moderate amount of DIY aaand a lil bit o' housework.

Eating many many biscuits. Took my dinner bowl downstairs and suddenly remembered the packet I'd bought yesterday...I don't think it'll last long

I think it's going to be an 'interesting' kind of a wedding.

For starters, I have a growing suspicion one of the bridesmaids might have 4 legs and a tail... Also, we've been asked to wear a badge depicting a Scrabble tile with either the bride or the groom's initial on.

It's anyone's guess what happens after that, but just on the off-chance there may be a quiet moment during the meal, there are now 300+ more tiles in British Sign Language and an assortment of other fonts for guests to, er, write rude words with, or something

Table tiles now apportioned and the bride and grooms's personal set sanded and bagged.

What am I doing right now? I'm thinking it might be time for FOOD!

Being knackered having spent the last 3.5 hrs doing beastly DIY. And I feel slightly lurgified too.

At an interesting wedding. Now the ringbearer's finished having a wee in the garden we're throwing a rope at her.

Fell in the fish pond, did she?

Getting a bit frustrated at my first ever I type phone owning experience.
They're a bit of a pain really, aren't they?

Yeah, they're rubbish. If rather useful.

It's all been ~~down~~uphill since the Nokia 6310i and Psion 5mx.

Drooling over the pictures of the Salsa carbon fattie from the Frostbike show.

The fork is weapons-grade fugly, but I don't care .... apparently the 'high-end' build will be rocking SRAM XX1 and be sub-25lbs

$2600 for frame and forks - what's the going rate for kidneys these days?

Anyhoo, it still has the 170mm rear end which is a dealbreaker for me so I'm hoping that Surly bring out a disc version of the CrossCheck at some point. I'd be all over that.

Or a Moonlander

Wondering whether to get rid of my Enigma once and for all and buy a sensible lightweight tourer with space for mudguards.

Settling down to a day of legal work at the pooter. Fortunately it's brass monkeys out there and toasty warm in here. $:-\$

Have to do something to keep the wolves from the door.

Miscellaneous bits of bike fettling in a possibly vain attempt to put off having to go into town. This is doomed to failure as I have run out of tea and need to go into town to get more.

Still, I've had a session on the turbo this morning so maybe a bimble round town isn't such a bad idea after all.
