So... What oiled your gears today?

That picture could be improved by photoshopping in a picture of Beefy409 in his birthday suit.

The doggo turned up again, got found and taken to Newham Dog Pound. Expensive lesson (£62) ... little minx.

Last weekend was improved by an audience with the elusive Nowhere Elysium and his lovely mum, both of whom I was delighted to see.

Not seen that fella for aaaaaages, he used to work down the road from my flat so I did occasionally bump into him when he was on his way home. So it was lovely to have a catch-up with the mad bugger.

Rode down to Goodwood Thurs/Friday, as a volunteer for a trackday for veterans (tea and coffee lady ). Had a fantastic time and two great rides down to Chichester and back Saturday morning.

I managed to get myself into a Porsche which the owner drove in a stately(ish) manner - as I was worried about wrenching my wrists and neck with mad G forces and not being able to ride home again

(not *that* stately - it was pretty awesome)

Will be braver next time

Our previously enormous cat - 8.5kg fighting weight* - is down to 5.5kg so the vet's done a blood test: classic hyperthyroidism. The good news is that he has very little else wrong with him.

Probably going to go down the drugs route. I figure surgery or radiotherapy to be too much stress for a 16 year old cat.

*Prodigious rat catcher in his youth.

If you are going down the drug route, I would reccommend mandys, speed or acid. Ket is a bit mental and fucks up your piss works and coke is expensive, makes you talk like an arrogant cunt and fucks your heart.

Some of us have earned the right to be arrogant.

Won the 'DILF' competition in my daughter's halls of residence end of year beano.

Great I thought, until she told me the only reason I won was because one of the lads voted for me 12 times...

Went to visit MCW today, who is staying with family in London whilst recuperating from a short hospital stay.

Took the bike (Suzuki) so I had a nice ride out on a sunny morning in my "lunchbreak" - bought some yummy grub on the way at my favourite cafe in Stratford, then hung out for a while. Would happily have stayed longer but had to get back to the NHS grindstone.

Lovely to see that bird

Weather report: rain likely later. Fuck it, that's what they've been saying all week So I stuck some waterproofs in my bag and rode out anyway and TBH it was a lovely afternoon.

No, I'm questioning what sort of job has no metrics of success. I write code and whether I write *any* code would be a primary indicator. (Quality being the next.) If I don't write any code or it's all crap what help is a mouse jiggler?

Today, I put a 35mm lens on my digital camera and did quite alright sweep* panorama image of my home town and even got, completely accidentally, a flying bird right in the middle of the image.

*You set the camera to ''panorama'' mode and then hold down the shutter button and sweep/pan the camera across the scene, taking multiple images at once so the camera can then stitch them together.
