Morning. Bit colder and misty at the moment. A walk will do for the time being and I'll do my best to get out for a spin after breakfast.
A few years ago I decided to take a "Christmas" job at the GPO........about 12 weeks, from November to end of Jan. Purely to pass some winter days and stick a few bob in my pocket.I got a phone call from an agency this morning offering me a French teaching job for a few weeks. The money was good but I politely declined as I don't want to be exposed to kids being possible carriers of Covid. To be honest, I don't want to teach anymore with all the hassle that comes with it.
Money isn't everything.
Mont Ventoux was the location for my fastest speed on the way down to Malaucene. 56mph. Quite exhilarating, especially as you go over the top by the weather station and gravity takes over.People were chatting about max speed . My personal max speed was 51 mph coming down mont ventoux and I was on the brakes most of the time lol . ( My brother in law topped 60mph, I was far to scared to even attempt that ) . And I was overtaken by mad Frenchman as if I was not moving . They were using ALL of the road in the corners as if it was a closed event. Saw some really close near misses between riders racing down and people in sport cars racing up .
In my fifty odd years of riding, it was the best , worst , most painful, most scary and most wonderful day I have ever had on a bike😀😀😀
I haven't heard the term 'Pop ' for many years.Good morning all, misty at the moment but supposed to be sunny later. Will do the messages then perhaps a little wander.
A question: Are fizzy drinks still referred to as ‘pop’ down south ? (MrsF doesn’t think they’ve ever been called pop here, confusingly all fizzy drinks here are referred to as ‘juice’).
