The Belgian in you would have been gutted for de Ketele, who got mugged by Thomas in a fabulous points race.

Nah. I just enjoyed the race for what it was. I'm only Belgian when it comes to food, not when it comes to sport. I leave *that* for the parental unit!

And Archibald bossed the Omnium today. Coming first in the first 4 events made it almost difficult to lose, and luckily she failed to do that.

That was brilliant to watch.

I have been making the halo for my model out of plywood. I have been roughing out the shape of it today. Work on the project is going to slow down now as things become more complicated. Sometimes the fitting of some parts can reveal mistakes or let you see how details that you can't quite see should be tackled. View attachment 614653

Looking good

Another week of tedium completed. The high point of today was bagging the last place on a pensions workshop being held in late November which should help towards my early retirement plans for next year.

Now for a 4 day weekend with a podcast pootle* planned for tomorrow followed by Coach Party at The Smokehouse in Ipswich in the evening, then a day slobbing in front of the TV and/or radio for Sunday. I'll decide what I'm doing on Monday & Tuesday when I wake up each morning.

That's sort of the plan, but with the F1 on TV, along with added football, NFL & possibly MLB

Ch4 highlights for me, I refuse to line Bernie's pockets.

A good supply of snacky stuff is also a must.

Food? Food?
Beer and muscles....
And beer always first for a true Belgian. Or are you Walloon?

 

[carpiste]

Just watched the Arse v Villa. My Dog Villa were poor! That`s relegation form for sure!
Arsenal made to look good.... apart from Lacazette who would be better made to train with Arsenal Ladies to learn how to take the odd bump without screaming like my 2 year old great niece!

I'm teetotal and mussels can have an unfortunate effect on my digestive tract. Chocolate though, patisserie, cheese and cured meats and now you're talking.

Try telling my mum she's a Walloon and you'll get thumped for your pains.

She's from Oostende.

I've just snorted tea straight up my nose!

Having said that, the ladies can deffo teach the men a trick or two

They have a great team. I watch footy and some of the ladies footy is superb. Not any of the histrionics you see in the "mens" game!

That's exactly what I love about the women's game. They just get on with it. Utterly refreshing, compared to the blokes, who seem to want to audition for RADA

I once played a charity football match against a ladies team. It hurt ... a lot
