Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

I have 15 minutes to decide if I'm going on the cycle group ride this evening, or if I just go directly to the pub later on for the monthly meeting ... or skip the lot altogether. Want to ride, just not sure I can bear being around people. It'll be a big crowd tonight thanks to the sunshine. Urgh.

I've just demolished a magnum ice cream. I blame wol.

I have a confession to make....I hate riding in a group. My preference is to ride on my own but I'm happy to ride with Mrs R. But I prefer solitude. I detest Saturday and Sunday mornings when big groups of cyclists come by......I have a non-cyclist friend who calls them the posse

I can totally see why it's not everybody's cup of tea.

Think I will go. Though I reserve the right to change my mind.

Mind changed. Sitting in the last rays of sun coming through the back door with the dog, vying for best position. Seems much more relaxing somehow. Just need to convince myself against bailing out of the meeting.

Time for a giant mug of and some giant buttons.

Then hoover up the resulting bio-hazard that was in your keyboard.

With a bit of stock, the contents of my keyboard would probably make a decent soup.

With regard to buses, when NT did his leg in last summer, one of the first outings we managed was down to MOSI where they were having a vintage bus display. They had a Routemaster doing a free roundtrip round central Manchester, and NT was like a kid all over again, having grown up with those buses. Getting on and off a Routemaster on crutches is quite an undertaking in itself, but he even made it up the stairs to the top deck of a static displayed one.

I remember he was absolutely wiped out by the time we'd got the tram home and hobbled back to the house, but it managed to be one of the very best days out we've had!

Wouldn't a giant zip be easier?

Don't ask me why it's a boat. I just googled.

I went mad today, and bought a sausage roll to go with my lunch. Then discovered the plan was to have chips, in memory of a colleague we planted a memorial tree for yesterday. So I had chips too. Would have quite liked to snooze all afternoon, but annoyingly, people wanted their recycling collecting...

So, I've just had a sandwich for dinner, and a chocolate dessert thingy from Morrisons.

I would love a Routemaster bus.
I was all for buying one a few years ago when they were only a couple of grand. My folks told me it was a silly idea and so I left it. I wanted it as a mobile home/workshop.
Then all the Routemasters retired from London service and the prices shot up! I should have bought one just as an investment.

No, don't do that, absolutely not, especially with safe search off

Glad to see you're out of bed wolly, what you having for breakfast?

 

[coffeejo]

Ah but where would you have parked it?

Don't set the man challenges like that!

 

[Arch]

Don't set the man challenges like that!

No, don't. I'm hoping to have a veg patch in the front garden one day, and I'm pretty sure veg won't grow well under a bus.....
