I need to stay off the crack pipe - i quite like it.

Started last night - couple of episodes in and I like it.

Reinstalled the pool heat pump after the new patio area was laid. Thankfully all works!

I need to find a local'ish group of similar minded people to ride with. Since I stopped doing TDs and massively slowed my riding, I've hardly ridden for fun - by the time I MOT my bike next month i would have covered 12 miles!

I did rhe future health thing about 6 months ago - all straightforward via a clinician at Boots, got the report and came home.

Admire the craft involved in it but it's a bit grim!

GasGas pyjamas - how cute.....

Currently sat on a cybersec call, actually quite interesting.....

Are you familiar with the term "arms race"?

We do have a guy with only 1 arm, so we've lost already.
