tuesday while all the planets start joining hands

[Homers Double]

Got to the gym nice and early this morning for the first time in several weeks, one of the staff looked shocked as I wandered in looking lost...
Been in the works sorting crap out, now desking more crap.
Hopeful of a ride this evening as it's supposed to be pretty warm!

Ditched my dentist after the pandemic. Sneaky so and so tried to convert all his NHS patients (myself included) to private using the reason that if you hadn't been for more than 12 months this was policy (it wasn't!). Errr, how exactly were we supposed to visit you during the pandemic?

I had a bit of fun in the first lock down - an old crown (one of my upper front teeth) sheared off at the base leaving with a rather obvious gap but fortunately didn't hurt at all. Dentist refused to see me on account of not being in pain so had to wait nearly 3 months to get it fixed. The only bonus was gong for a run in the park, where the combo my skinhead self done haircut and missing tooth was great for encouraging people to socially distance from me

I started cutting my own hair during lockdown. Never been back to a barber's since, saves me £150 a year and I don't have to engage in small talk, double bonus!

I would do if I was capable of doing anything beyond 'same length all over'. Ended up looking like a tennis ball during lock down 😊

my dentist stayed open, installed a serious air purifier and they all wore lots of ppe

productive stroll, harrods offer kicked in, so bubbly and a croissant for under a fiver, then down to menswear for a browse

dior gave me an espresso and fizzy water...

...then armani gave me a cake, easter version of panettone, just had a slab with coffee, definitely a cake of many calories...

I would have ditched mine, but there are no spaces in any NHS dentists in Devon, pretty much. They are like hens teeth (arf arf).

Anyway, I've bought a Moustache 'lectric gravel bike at bit over £3000, but suited to the terrain and distances I'm wanting to do without strain, and apparently easier to resell in these parts as a result... guess being 12 months on it would sell for about £2000 ono. £1000 not to screw heart things up seems like a fair price. I just have to get used to feeling like a twit* riding the thing now.

*other words spring to mind

Make sure you are as upright as possible and wearing at least 2 more layers of clothes than any other cyclist and you'll be fine.

Why restrict that feeling to riding an ebike? 😛

My mate broke a crown off. I superglued it back on as a temporary measure. He had it for 13 months.

Who was that really clever guy who said something along the lines of “stupid is as stupid does”

Was he American???

This is going tits, massively.

Ended up getting back from airport in time to go out for a quick ride, lovely evening but getting chilly by the end, good hill workout!
