The frustrations of commuting here have ramped up. I averaged 10 mph over a 16 mile trip this morning. Reckon they might do better in the Smoke?
Gonna have to blow the dust off me motibyke at this rate.

Yup, except up the hills
It's disappointing how little it takes to completely fonk up the roads round here.
To make matters worse they're putting a lot of new housing on farmland serviced by little more than a tarmaced lane (one of my alternate routes). Everything seems on the edge of collapse..
Grump grumpety grump grump..

I used to have a daily drive in and out of that Lunnen for many years. Soul destroying. Until I bought me mobike. Changed my outlook completely, instead of getting out of bed for a daily drudge drive I was getting up earlier to go for a ride on me bike. Cut the journey time down dramatically and got to work in a far better mood to start the working day. But saw many horrible accidents on bikers over the years including a few dead uns. Yer takes yer chances -----. Bikers are so hard to see when they are filtering through from behind - whether you are in a car or on a bike they are mostly invisible.

Morning all.
I've been shouted at already, so the day is off to a good start.
Apparently, leaving the BBQ open for the rain to get in is a hanging offence (who Knew?).
Never mind that I was on my hands and knees all PM fitting scotia edging trim to the ruddy flooring/skirting junction.
Never mind that I cook 80% of my own meals and do all my own clearing up so she doesn't wait on me hand and foot. Women! Grrrrrr.

[derwendolly]
