Mundane News

I'm wracked with guilt. Until this evening's news, I had never heard of Kobe Bryant.

Who?

 

[Reynard]

Got really grumpy & the branch I was hitting sorta came off.

That's the way to do it!!!

20 years as a shooting guard with the Los Angeles Lakers. I think his whole career spent with one team. Quite a few scoring records, also did some singing, and was in Tv and movies after he retired. I think Kobe Bryant also got a short subject Oscar for Dear Basketball.

I always knew that the USA didn't speak English. I didn't understand that first sentence. I take it it's some sort of sport.

Charming little subway system. Never been there, but always interesting to me. Almost like 3/4 scale.

If you like small underground railways you could do a lot worse that take a ride on the Post Office Railway next time you are in London. The system is no longer being used for mail but a short length of track near Mount Pleasant is still being used for visitors. Enormous fun but you need to book in advance.

Oh, and I have put the green (garden / food waste) recycling wheelie bin out. No black bag this week as there's barely anything in it.

It is also pouring with rain.

Brown & silver bins for me. The excitement comes tomorrow when we have a race to see who can bring the bins in. I may cheat, as I'm attempting to fasten the house numbers to the gate pillars. Just amazed how hard the brick is.

 

[derrick]

Just done another spin.🤣

This evenings meal was a Italy/Indian fusion. Pizza toppings on nan bread a la Nigel Slater.

oh, and the grey bin is out.

 

[Reynard]

About to slope off downstairs to cook supper. Then I plan on listening to Bournemouth v Arsenal on the radio.

 

[Ripple]

Got a phone call to come to work. Oh the joys of being available 24/7.

 

[Andy in Germany]

New mudguard finally fitted to the touring bike, so it is now Rattle free.

Also: My supply of pear drops is dwindling.

 

[EltonFrog]

Just finished watching the rest of the Irishman.

 

[Reynard]

Those enchiladas were if a bit

Arsenal are 2-0 up at half time, but knowing what our defence is like, am not holding my breath... A 5th round tie away at Pompey awaits the winner.

 

[Reynard]

Well, it finished 2-1 to the Arsenal. As I thought, the second half had some squeaky bum moments, but we're off to Fratton Park in the next round...

 

[Jenkins]

Just winding down with a mug of hot chocolate before bed.

This is a busy week for me - 7am starts so the alarm goes off at 05:30. This evening I went to a gig at the Smokehouse, thankfully just 20 mins up the road in Ipswich and I'll be doing the same on Thursday. Saturday evening is the Bathurst 12hr GT race streamed on Youtube and then Sunday night is Superbowl Sunday (I've taken a couple of hours off work on Monday for recovery).

I was going to make myself a cup of tea as per usual, but now I might have a hot choccy instead...

I'm off to Motorsport With Attitude in Peterborough on Sunday. Stock cars, pickup trucks, touring cars, what's not to like?
