Re: What have you done today thread?
Today they decided to take the cast from my arm and not replace it with a new one at last. Now I can scratch my forearm to my heart's content. But no lifting with it, or leaning on it for 3 months which is a nuisance. I cannot attend the gym and even leaning on the handlebars of my bicycle could be a painful problem? I'll get out on my MTB to have the big fat tyres cushion the road-vibration for a while. BUT, as the great Sean Kelly said about cycle-training. If you are unsure whether to go out or not, just go for a ride and decide when you get back home! I can do that! Great Irish logic perhaps?

Hit my half century not out. Pretty good considering my start in life and all that.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Although I should be pissing you all off by being out on the bike in this lovely, warm sunny weather, I've been gardening.
Or rather clearing the crap I had dragged off my land and pulling it on a tarp up to where they dumped the skip off yesterday.
So this what has been be cleared in the last 4 weeks: I've still got two huge piles of tree and palm cuttings to move into the skip. Love a good bonfire and have a permit allowing me to have them, but this whole area is still tinder dry, and I don't want to be the one that has an errant ember setting it all the woods alight.

Spent a few hours at the ER having my pump checked.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Apparently I'm not going to cark it just yet. Discovered that the local hospital schedules all the hot looking nurses for night shift, by christ there was some fine looking totty in the place.
In other news, a bit later today:
Was waiting behind a couple at an ATM today. Typical Walmartian outfits, sweats & fuzzy slippers. Guy reached into his pocket & pulled out a stack of $100's damn near 3in thick, counted off a couple & put the rest back in his pocket. Pants were so baggy I could have reached in & grabbed the lot. At least $30k, maybe more. There was a quick calculation about how far I could get on half a tank of gas...
Decided to go buy a lottery ticket instead.

Your odds of winning by pickpocketing this guy were greater than your odds with the lottery. I'm led to believe it isn't quietly sliding your hand in so much as stumbling into the victim so the impact covers the grab. Apparently working in pairs is ideal. Of course the price for losing is a bit greater.ZRX61 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2020 11:58 pm Apparently I'm not going to cark it just yet.

Inflation's so bad that $30K only gets you half a tank of fuel?

I've seen American car chases, I reckon if you can drive over the speed limit and turn a corner you're in with a pretty good chance.

Led the Remembrance Service at the War Memorial outside our Church, St John's Welling.
We had a bugler for The Last Post and Reveille. Very moving. People in the park opposite the Church joined in the service and observed the silence and said the amen.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Not bad thanks. Got used to things quicker than I expected. The administration of just everything is just a little different, but easiest not to compare to how things are done in the UK. Some stuff is very quickly done, others not.
Got used to the night noises (f**king owls and other birds make a huge racket). Weather is a big bonus, all year round biking which is great, because parking a car in my nearby towns is a bloody nightmare.
Just got my residency to get approved before January, then I can relax and enjoy life out here.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Mowed the lawn. 2.5 hour job due in part to the small collector on my flymo.
Cleared the plant life from the porch gutters. Then knocked all the loose moss off the roof tiles so cleared the gutter again...
Cleared all the leafs up from around the garden/drive.
Not watched the MotoGP yet.
