Last week I blitzed the kitchen, including the worst job in the world (nothing to do with lobsters or Jayne Mansfield ) - cleaning the extractor hood and filters of 5 years of accumulated grease
Only the floor to clean now.
Yesterday, I washed the front door and the windows and frames.
Today, I washed the bike, and checked that everything still worked ok.
Then I washed the car
Well, I thought it might be starting to annoy the neighbours, half covered in green algae and with a flat tyre. The neighbourhood is starting to look respectable again
I'm on a roll!
Sitting in the garden with a cuppa and a fag (non-American) is very pleasant this afternoon too. Hmmm. Garden next? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Chickeneybobs in mad spring cleaning mode
I'm also enjoying another "unfeasibly energetic" day, certainly workwise anyway. Kicking arse and asking questions later.
Realised today I actually need to do rather a bit of work-related research.
I have to google everyone who lands in my inbox at the moment.
Can a subscription to Tatler be considered a business expense?

I went to the local recycling centre/tip yesterday.
The lady in the car next to me had a couple of railway sleepers in her car.
The staff at the tip refused to take them because of H&S shite.
I took them off her hand all everyone was happy.
I need nine for my raised bed and I get two at no cost, happy days ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

The war on disorder continues.
Finished cleaning the bike - clean, shiny, shiny, clean.
Then put it back in the shed
Did some weeding in the garden.
Mowed the lawn.
Sat out with a cuppa on another warm, sunny afternoon.
On balance, yeah, an oiled gears day rather than ground gears ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Then he found out that he had 200 concrete sleepers to get rid of that no one had noticed were included in the agreement. It was only after I got home I remembered I live near a railway museum with a few miles of track who would probably have taken them off his hands. ____________________ Blackmail is a nasty word........but not as nasty as phlegm!

Back in the days when I had a car, I used to like going to the tip.
The nearest one to me is right under the North Circular roundabout on the A13. They had a book recycling bin that was always overflowing.
Always worth having a poke about, if you can get away with it. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Discovered I hadn't put any expenses in since October Top tip: always be nice to the company accountant It's like I had a pre-Xmas savings club running, very handy.
On top of that I strong-armed a modest pay rise which I suppose is no mean feat in current times but my boss can blame himself for that: in the last zoom meeting with a partner in Holland I was described as "...the company's chief developer" oh really? and there's me thinking I just made a nice cup of tea ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I had a nice chat with the bloke at the Harley garage, who says that my bike *might* once have had a chain, and that the belt drive could be a conversion kit.
He didn't even tut once about the state of my bike.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 3 years, 78 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
