Best of all I met up with another rider to give him a package I picked up from Paddington. Turns out this guy actually remembers me from my earlier courier days (about 25 years ago..)


Guy that delivered my pizza, recognised me, I rescued him when he was on L plates and his front brake had jammed on. I didn't give him a tip though.

Just cashed up all the loose change from around the house, including the coppers we've been chucking a drawer.

Had enough to buy 1 litre of Gordon's and 1 litre of Bombay Sapphire...... and a Victoria sponge Wub Wasted Drooling

My employers have put up colour charts in the toilets so that we can check our piss to see if we are sufficiently hydrated.
They are situated above the urinals so naturally, people have been pissing on the charts. Laughing


Seriously???


Absolutely. The chart goes from left to right with the light yellow on the left being healthier than the darker colours on the right and they're numbered one to eight.

There's also a handy little rhyme;

'One to three, healthy pee. Four to eight, re-hydrate.' Rolling Eyes

I'm off to Scottyland on the train this weekend, just confirmed my bookings today:

* Leisurely journey from Kings Cross, shedding harrassed Friday executives on the way.
* Sleek-looking hotel on arrival, exactly My Sorta Thing.
* Decent bunfight on the Saturday (wedding)
* Awesome old mate I've not seen for YEARS will also be there, am looking forward to having a right old nag with her.
* Time to relax on Sunday morning/eat some square sausage and stock up on Tablet, before ...
* Leisurely journey home.

I was gonna fly up from City Airport cos I live so close to there, but what with working in Chelsea its a fag to get right across town to get home, pick up bag, go thru security and dick about waiting for a cramped flight and then the hassle of having to rent a car to bang around in town, when I might as well have a nice leisurely journey on the train, have a snooze, maybe a drink, play on the laptop and people watch.

Cool Cool

Got my new zorsts.
Couldn't fully fit them yet as the old gaskets are shot, half of them came away with the old cans, the other half stayed in the exhaust.New ones on order for Thursday.
Did manage to get all the new stuff assembled and roughly lined up though.
I couldn't believe just how heavy the old cans were, I reckon both of the new ones are lighter than just the one old can.
Had to fire it up mid swap with nothing on, just to hear it sound like a tank.

I've been spoiled in my current commute - massive wide A roads with very few spots a motorcycle can't overtake...

Yesterday I went to derby in the afternoon so had almost the full length of A50 and a500 at rush hour.

I'd forgotten how much fun filtering is 😁 and how gratifying it is to have a "blocker" and just fly past the other side 🤣😁

I did a Boat Safety Scheme examination on a broads cruiser today.

It was built in 1931 out of Mahogany by Herbert Woods.

Was like going back in time into a different era. The owner greeted me on board like royalty. He was wearing a white blazer and striped trousers and had a huge waxed moustache!! His wife was dressed like she was off to a ball.

It was surreal.

Boat was pretty well same as this stock picture

Agreed, was a good laugh.

Highlight of the night - seeing your spacker kicking out flames on the way home.

Not so highlight of the night - seeing Fistys Busa kicking out coolant. Glad he's got a new radiator to go on it though.

Henstridge claims another rad... Confused

Oiling mine a bit later, mrs grr is taking me out for a lunch date.


EDIT - Later still visited chez Fretgrinder after an impromptu wazz on the Spacker and saw his beautiful fluffy pussies. Shocked
I can't stroke cats so I had to just look at them instead. My wife is not allowed to see them under any circumstances
though. Tut Tut Besides Gracie would lead any cat of ours a merry old song and dance. I would fear for its safety tbh.

Friday traffic, and a slightly serendipedous wrong turn... Ended up getting to work in an hour and a half which is pretty decent into Central London... Hopefully I will be able to park under the building in future which will save me a 15 minute walk.

Damn, missed the bank today Cool

I won the battle of the petrol lawnmower earlier.
The bloody thing decided to both break its pull chord and snap the chord return coil.
The chord was easy enough but getting the right shape bent back in the coil was a pain.
Getting it up and running again for free was most gratifying.
