Mundane News (Part 1)

We have a nest in the tree at the front door, with baby birdies in it

The older I get, the more I want to say ''Aaaah!'' I've even been known to start threads on baby birdies and the work of the parents.

I take it as a threat, as in "See this? it'll be your finger next if you're not careful!"


Silver snake chain from 1907, ruined

Oh bugger!

I'm getting out of the bath in a minute.

As I write the police helicopter's flown over the house.

Why hide in the bath?

I have started to make my final preparations for the BHF Cotswolds Bike Ride on Sunday. I always do this ride with the same mate every year, and have given up hope of ever doing it in a decent time. (We took 6 hours to do 40 miles last year!). He won't have done any maintenance to his bike since last year, and he won't be wearing anything remotely like practical kit.

I spoke to him tonight, and he asked me how many miles I have put in so far this year. "Just short of 700" , I said. "Ah", he said. "How about you?", I asked. "23" he said. It's going to be a very long day. Oh well, plenty of nice pubs in the Cotswolds. Might as well enjoy a leasurely potter and a few bevvies. Cycling isn't always about setting PBs and overtaking people. Sometimes it's nice to just saunter around taking in the views. I should have plenty of time to take pictures for the "Your Ride Today" thread.

If anyone else is doing this one on Sunday, I'll be the massive bloke in the "Fat Lad at the Back" shirt .... at the back.

I've just replaced the rear windscreen wiper arm on the car. Vandals, innit!

Chapeau! to you both!

I have just ripped the rear windscreen wiper off a car. A little light vandalism helps relieve the stress of caring for twins.

I am watching The Princess Bride (again) while hubby has a little snoozette.

 

[numbnuts]

I haven't been out today

 

[Lullabelle]

I have been painting our new shed and a lot of the paint ended up on me so I was a few different colours, 1 shower and a thorough scrub with a body buff later and I am back to my normal colour, I am painting again tomorrow

A Great Blue Heron just flew over my house. Probably on his way to the nearby pond.

 

[EltonFrog]

I've spilt my beer.

Bol, and if I may add, not to put a too finer point on it, locks.

TV decided not to work half way through The Princess Bride (turns out that the plug had come out of the socket a bit) so watched Run Lola Run on my laptop.
