Not a vast amount, layed some flooring, covered it with placky sheet, then covered that with OSB sheets so the scaffolding doesn't damage the floor.
Measured up, spoke to the brickies about them filling a few holes in the walls I'm going to attach timber frames to.
Spoke to the demolition boys about cutting a lump of concrete out of the place.

Seem to have worked all day and achieved buggerall.

We're likely firing the roof on tomorrow.

Played with Lego, been huffed at by grandspawn for reasons unexplained, prepped the ground for some shuttering and wasted sometime on the internet.

on the way up box hill, my mate took it.

Thanks, I don't know it in the flesh, only ever seen it in races n the TV. Is that road really as smooth as it looks? I dream of road surfaces like that round here in the Lincs. Wolds near Cadwell!!

My day? This afternoon I have sulked! I had my latest consultation with the Fracture Clinic who told me not to cycle outside for 12 weeks after the fracture happened. That date was the 29th August so it bars me from getting outside until December! Grrrr!!!
I must follow the advice otherwise they might resort to applying another cast or worse, re-operate if it is not healed fully by then! I have another consultation in two weeks and shall have to stick to my indoor turbo for the next 1-2 months as long as I stay in the saddle and am not putting weigh/pressure through my forearm!

I do still have many months before my main targets in competition start though so should be able to get fit enough one way or another by then!
Targets = The National Para-cycling time-trial championship again, hoping to improve on my 11th in 2017, 5th in 2018 and 6th in 2019. For the obvious COVID- reason there was no event held this year so we are all awaiting the date and place for the champs in 2021!

Keep your powder dry Hawks. You'll be fit and ready when the time comes,you'll see.

Thanks muchly Skub, I hope so. In my sport, summer success is based on my riding in the winter and spring beforehand, hence I'm keen to get out n the road ASAP !At least in recent weeks, staying inside has definitely kept me dry compared to being out training in the wind and rain!!

But training indoors all the time is just a bit, errm, boring after a while!!

Cheers friend.. I hope that you and the family are all safe and well?

I won't even go there! Ongoing end of life sagas with my Dad and stepmum.

I'm treading the relentless waters of bureaucracy,but managing. Cheers man.

Harry wrote: Fri Nov 20, 2020 1:34 am Looks like we're moving again, I'm not complaining about it because I've always had a contractors mentality, so I've always gone where the work is,

After I'd worked in NZ for a couple of months, people asked "Did you like it, will you emigrate?"

Yes, I did like it out there. But I noticed, from the many people I spoke to, they had moved either 'for' something or to 'get away' from something.

I suppose you're in the first and, if jobs are only in certain places then that sets the locations possible?

Posted: **Fri Nov 20, 2020 6:19 pm**

Why the move ? Different job or rental going etc?

Or ...mind my own business

Discovered I had a screw loose on the left rear-set, tightened it. I guess blue Loctite has a 15 year *best before* window.
Last time I touched that screw was Summer of 2005.

The only Allen wrench missing from the set was the one I needed, found another... then had a Garage Safari looking for the blue Loctite.

Sat and watched 2000+ litres of diesel get dumped because it had been sat for a year.
If only I'd had a few Jerry cans.........

One day late....

23rd wedding anniversary. Hard to believe it was all those years ago and not a day goes by when I don't think I've picked an absolute corker of a lass. I like to think Mrs. G did ok too.

As going out options are fairly limited at present we had a Turkish takeaway and opened a bottle of champagne and then a bottle of 51 year old Italian red and quaffed the lot. It was bloody good drinking.

Still in total lockdown, so another excuse to just lock myself in the shed making stands for my guitars. Complete bliss really.

I went to my Mum’s and began making good her conservatory for a family Christmas. I cleaned, removed anything that dangled, de-moulded, stain blocked and painted. Looking great, I set off via Homebase. Tomorrow I get to go crazy with a caulking gun and put new curtains up. Super excited

Did some housework, fitted some bits to the walls in the bathroom, made a mounting plate for my bilge pump switch and broke the law*. Oh, and just made a big pot of chicken gazinty, probably 4 days worth.

*Over 65s are only allowed out between 10 am and 1 pm for the forseeable future but I have work to do on the boat so around 3 pm went up to the boat and got in 3 hours work.

Mrs G has just come back from her parent's. Her mum has been in quite a decline for a few months but recently it seems as if the end is in sight. Constant chest infections, dementia and arthritis have taken their toll. She has the look if somebody who has simply given up and talks (when awake and lucid) about dying and not wanting to be here anymore.

Jumped, jumped more, got wet feet, are muffins, more jumps, no crashes.

Awesome

Finished insulating metal shed roof.

Mrs M, the Electric Valkyrie did her best to send me to Sto-vo-kor on todays bicycle ride, I'm a broken man tonight.

Now watching the ferrets run rings around the Staffies, with the Cuddly Sandy Ferret (he's not, he thinks he's a honey badger) chasing Nate and Pepper our new Polecat Jills around the living room and kitchen with extreme prejudice.
