Re: What have you done today thread?
Would have been close to first if not first yeah. If it was Christmas/NY 2002/2003 break - which is probably was - that would have been the first time I took my bike to Uni, I didnt have it when I first started in Oct 2002.
I don't remember the slowing down bit but I vaguely remembered talking about it in advance. Clearly I did, cause we made the trip.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Went 20 mins to the sea to go kitesurfing with the tide coming in, the wind with tide at 26-27 knots, 8C.
Got all the neoprene on.
Pumped my 7m kite up.
Walked down to launch the kite.
Looked at the sea and it looked like shit.
Walked away, packed up.
Went home and had a nice coffee.
Not that anybody here is interested.
Which you're not, of course.

Re: What have you done today thread?
12hr shift at work today, 8 hours of which was spent finding errors in safety paperwork which is pretty poor form, so an email was sent to the culprit with his Boss and our Boss copied in and hopefully he'll be having an interview without tea and biscuits on Monday to make him pull his finger out.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Interested? No, not particularly. But kudos for making the no go decision after the time commitment, travel, preparation, etc. It's all too easy, if invested, to not be willing to make that choice.

.
Are you a kitesurfer or windsurfer or surfer or ... ?
Was a windsurfer for 30 years then went to the kite surfing dark side. Am only 20 mins from the beach so easy for me.

I have nine grandchildren and one great grandchild so I might also qualify as an "old git" ...

Re: What have you done today thread?
Shitty day here in Wiltshire.
I walked the dogs before the rain / sleet started. The little fuckers hate going out if its wet!
Then I cooked the family a big Full English brekkie. Then I put a leg of lamb in to marinade with red wine, garlic and Rosemary. It'll gp in the oven later this afternoon.
I fossicked about in the garage for a while and now I've poured a glass of shiraz and will spend the next couple of hours surfing YT.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I adjusted the humidistat on the bathroom extractor as it was on too often. Then just as I was putting the cover back on I fell through the toilet lid I was stood on and broke the porcelain. I must be some sort of karate god able to smash toilets with my bare feet.
Or I'm just an everyday idiot for not using the steps.
Now to find a plumber at their busiest time of year.

Re: What have you done today thread?
The broken seat looked more dangerous than the porcelain, it broke into a few large and sharp pieces. Not quite sure how but I landed with my foot on the floor and kept my balance, never thought I had reactions like that! The only bits of the bog that broke were from the inside of the rim so I've glued them back in for now and fitted a new seat.
Today I have discovered that:
S trap toilets are rare and expensive, salmon pink even more so.
Modern toilets stick out too far as they are all designed for wall connections and mine's in a concrete floor so can't be moved.
Putting ' s trap' into ebay makes it suggest strap on dildos.
My trusted plumber is too busy to call back.
