Today I have an all-day training course on how to do a job for a university that I've been doing for the same university for the past year

It's not as if I have nothing else to do.

You've only been doing it a year. Come on, moan when you've been doing it 10 years ! You know what they are like.

Morning from the shed office. It's not raining. Shock horror. Very damp again.

I think this lunch time's ride is going to be the short hilly one, but cutting out the mud fest at the end, and come 'off' the hill down the roads rather than bridleways as it's a slop fest at the moment.

No - it's an external examiner induction for a university where I've been doing the role for a year. I've used their platform, met the team virtually, etc. What's worse I've been an external examiner for almost 20 years at a range of institutions.

But they need to confirm I've had my induction and therefore ....

I've recently listened to about five PG Wodehouse Audiobooks in a fairly short time and I've noticed it's affected how I write CC posts.

Happens to me with Shakespeare.

Pulled all the old bar tape off, in preparation for Her*es actually delivering new cable for front mech. Replacing the bar tape now has me more worried than doing the cable!
Had coffee. Eaten porridge.
Wondering if I should get dressed and take the bike outside to give it a really good clean while it's stripped down........ Bit cold, I'll wait a while longer.....

I think DPD are on a bit of a go slow from BikeDiscount.de - Parcel hasn't left Germany for over a week. Was collected from BikeDiscount over a week ago, and has shuffled not very far to another depot then hasn't moved.

Chilly walk, until I got moving, to the shops to drop a load of tortilla wraps (that I got for 5p a pack at work, yesterday) plus a few other packets of stuff into the Foodbank, and to buy my Christmas cards.
A pleasant 3½ mile walk.
