Friday thread, what you got ?

Post by weeksy »

Quiet one here.

Fri. Finish sorting the Parkwood 29er for sale and collection. Wraps for tea :)
Sat. Skate park with my lad
Sun. quiet quiet quiet.

Due to it being bloody freezing and the middle of winter, there's not much going on here as you can see. Hopefully some of you have a bit more.

My grandspawn will be staying over tonight most likely, it's parent has to go plagueland for a day or two. I'll hose them down with bleach when they return.

Other than that I'll be in the shed.

Intermittent showers all weekend so nowt planned.
It can be fun taking the dirt bikes and 4WD out but the ground forms a clingy clay stuff which is a bugger to clean off.

Got a couple of hours work today. Afterwards I want to bring the NCX into the back garden as I have a few jobs I want to do. Unlikely I'll actually do anything today though as we've had a light dusting of snow and its bastard freezing out there! :thumbdown:

I live in one of the worse places in the country for covid spread, so in self-isolation at the moment. I get out to walk my dogs and exercise for about an hour each day, but aren't really leaving the house other than that. I guess I'll be watching films and little else. I do have my Step Dad over for dinner tonight, so will at least have some company and get out for 2 drives when I pick him up and take him home. Woo hoo! :crazy:

Work today. I was going to WFH but the weather man said snow so I came in. Unsurprisingly, no snow so might go home and do some work.
Weekend booked off so off to the girlfriends in the morning for a couple of days. Good food, relaxing and wine!!
Back on Monday, see what that brings.
Have a good one all

Juggle work and home schooling today, take the kids out with dog for a walk this afternoon and then cook beige freezer tapas for them.

Online poker/zoom and beers with some mates tonight.

No plans for the weekend aside from moving the boxes of Christmas stuff up to the loft. Might try and get an hour or two in the workshop and put the KX clutch back together.

I lied - need to take the Tiger back to be retested now I've changed the pads. That'll take about an hour if I eek it out and have a cup of their foul coffee whilst I wait.

Will the excitement ever end?

Day off today to burn up a day of carried over leave so pottering around house whilst wife teaches remotely. Steak dinner tonight for daughter’s boyfriend as it is his birthday today.

My birthday tomorrow, so out painting the town red from breakfast until the pubs close :obscene-drinkingcheers: :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Or home cooked breakfast, long walk with Hugo before home to zoom catch up with family then Indian takeaway - it’s a tough choice!

Sunday, lazy day with roast beef dinner :)

Today I am having to work on two sermons, two assignments. So I procrastinated and put new brake pads on my sons bicycle. I'll then do the new tubes on the other bike and fit new tyres when they eventually arrive. That bicycle is for me to ride and get a bit thinner... or that is the plan. And new brake pads for that one too. Wife wants me to do something, but it is supposed to be my study day with me doing college stuff and reading as well, but that does not count as it looks like I am doing nothing... looks can be deceiving!

Day off today, frozen forest dog walk which was nice and then 2hrs reassembling Mrs M's Bosch bike motor after the replacement bearing arrived. All back together but I need two circlips to finish as I managed to overstress the old ones refitting them. Bugger.

Give the house a clean and tidy up the cardboard carnage Drax has caused.

Working 12hr days Sat and Sun.

Grenoble and back today - we aren't under lockdown, so no paperwork to be filled in. But it was for a hospital appointment, so I guess that's allowed!
Physio in half an hour
Then fast food (got some meals in the freezer that just need to go in the oven :D ) - probably with a decent sized spiced rum and lemonade :mrgreen: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Saturday -
lie in!! LOL
Google to see where the speedo connector is on the Transit and aim some WD40 at it
See if I can find the correct parts online that I want for the Transit
Must do a load of paperwork - business and paperwork
Maybe make some 'Spring Rolls' - have wanted to try to make these for ages and managed to get some beansprouts when I shopped in the valley

Day after
Really need to try out the snow shoes again. Need to build a habit of walking up the mountain a little bit every other day. Eventually to go a bit everyday. Goal to get to the top of one to see the sunrise!! No idea how long it will take me!
Also - more paperwork - business and paperwork
Probably a decent sized spiced rum and lemonade :mrgreen: :obscene-drinkingcheers:
