And @potsy im glad you are trying to look after my bike... But I don't want it complete seized up from lack of use by the time you get around to giving it to me

Never fear, it is the most used bike of all of them this year

This 'doing a Rocky in the afternoon' is very additive. It might become a habit!

I was intending to make it 2 rides in 2 days but the weather is a bit poo, don't want summerday's mtb getting all dirty

Instead I will sit here and drink tea, and maybe sort out some more junk for the tip.

It's a beautiful day here. Hopefully it will still be sunny for the return leg.

33 mph* bike ride done! And, quite satisyingly, it is now getting cloudy...

* max speed, not average!
* due more to gravity and a following wind than my toned leg muscles and superb stamina...

Nice out though ... Peasant temperatures if a little breezy?

The lady finally phoned back... 2 spoonfuls into my soup, just after putting a piece of roll in my mouth

yes, still shorts weather!

 

[summerdays]

Are those the temperatures one can let ones staff out in?

@User14044 is the most knowledgeable in such matters

Turned out nice here too now, unfortunately just as I've got stuck into the sorting so bike ride is cancelled

Last day off tomorrow, well it was but I'm nipping in for a morning's overtime, put the funds towards my next bike

I am waiting for the mower fellow to come by and have a look at my riding mower. There may eventually be a used strimmer and snow thrower sale in the cards.
There are currently landscapers' trucks moving up and down my street, probably looking for a place to park. Better not be in front of my house, as there will be a big truck and trailer coming to haul the mower away should that become necessary.

That's the proper way to view overtime. Well done sir.

Was in this job two years before I did any overtime, just didn't interest me, and being the sort of person who lives to their means I did not 'need' to do any.
Now six months later I've done maybe 6 half days, more to socialize with the guys on the opposite shift than anything

What sort of place do you live in... My images in my head are from TV and films...where people seem to have a fairly large lawn out the front with a big drive too or are you more of a city dweller? But if you were I couldn't imagine needing a ride on mower... I'm afraid I'm stuck with a few preconceptions when it comes to the USA, and yet it's such a large place that there must be a huge variation in townscapes! (Sorry I'm being nosey)

I've often wondered how where he lives compares with the UK

Looks like that box of 36 suet logs I bought has turned up just in time
