    Worked the weekend as some muppet in my team can't organise a social occasion in a brewery. Oh look a weeks work & we need it Monday. They could easily have given it to me a week ago and I could have enjoyed my weekend.

    Can't complain too much I have done very little in the last month mainly because they are disorganised.


    Looks like my Weekend will be Thursday -> Sunday this week.
    And task 1 done. Half way there!

    A permie would have been sacked for messing up. Contractors get paid to fix up their mess.

    You soon get used to them, and everybody falls off at least once. Usually in a semi-graceful, slow motion sideways manner when coming to a halt and forgetting you are clipped in. Think Del Boy at the bar.

    It only takes one or two rides for un-clipping to become second nature, you just stop thinking about it and do it. MrsB is only riding on the turbo trainer at the moment, but she got the hang of it quickly enough.

    Not bad, TFA.

    Friday in the pub for a beer festival.

    Spent most of Saturday clearing out crap from the garage to make room to be able to have a proper set up for the Turbo Trainer etc. Then went and bought some proper cycling shoes and cleats for MrsB. She's been skeptical about the difference they make but now can't believe how much better they are than just trainers

    Most of Saturday evening was spent trying to resuscitate MrsB's iMac, to no avail. I suspect the hard drive screwed so it's going in for repairs today.

    Was supposed to be out on the bike on Sunday, was hoping to get the first Century of the year in but it was just way too icy. Ended doing three hours on the turbo instead for a metric century.

    Not too bad TYFA,

    Played some new games - beat BGG 2 out of 3

    Brought a new wheelchair.

    Did house stuff - measuring doors, & taking shower apart to soak in vinegar to remove lime scale build up.

    Had a takeaway (the 2nd in 8mnths, it was tasty)

    Started new leather project.

    Started new book (Ready Player One)

    You?

    Pretty good, lots of dog walking, great food and sleeping. Did take the Fitbit challenge too far and ran for 2 hours on Sunday and still came third.
