Another massive win on the premium bonds.

Well ok, £25. Still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.


Spooge the lot on a tank full of premium.

£25... that's around 1100 miles of riding on my Zero! Shocked

Karma for proper spelling of Caernarfon. Why the Welsh would allow the use of v in their place names when it isn't even in their alphabet is beyond me.

Managed an engine change on my Pignis with nothing breaking, going wrong, blowing up. That is, until the drive home tonight. Oooo road test, road test.

Dinner in Hampstead at one of the better of those Brazilian meat-on-swords places. Cocktails, wine, more meat than you can shake a stick at, hence stuffed to the gills, ridiculously we decided to attempt a dessert (birthday, need dessert on birthday).

I don't know why I chose the richest most chocolatey thing on the menu, I barely did it justice, could only eat what turned out to be semi-solidified chocolate mousse and had to leave the chocolate-syrup-soaked chocolate sponge (with chocolate sprinkles, FFS, overkill or what) behind. And all paid for by my lord and master. Yay.

Every trail ride I lead, without fail, at least one person will message me "have you got a gpx of the route"

er, no. I learn them, and I use paper maps.

Was originally a Debbie Downer as I'd lost out on a job just 20mins walk from my house.

However, I have secured a better job (in London) on a more senior role with slightly better pay!

I like those weekends a lot.
Sex, beer, takeaways with the occasional dog walk.
