Next door neighbour had 'my' bike running. That was odd.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I got up early, prepared to do stuff for service at 10am. Managed to get time to read the lease agreement on my gaff and found selling it on open market means the new owner automatically gets full Freehold if full price paid. So that takes some pressure off selling with only 75 years on the lease. LQ group only want money spinning flats where they get communal charges thrown in as well as the usual rent charges.
I'm off to get an eye check up (family history of glaucoma) and new glasses. I'm off the company scheme to claim from Bupa at the end of the month, so I may as well get this sorted now, besides I'm 10 months overdue for a checkup.
Then back to the "new home" to clean up and remove boxes from the room to the laminate flooring can be laid during the week. All in all a busy little time for me, but good in the sense that things are happening!
Also finished up assigment this morning and will submit it later today once I've had the chance to read it through again.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Found someone wanting to 'race' on one of my fav bits of road...
I stuck with them, couldn't get past, until they gave up and pulled into a layby. They were proper giving it some!
Moto Guzzi V7 1 - Audi A3 Diesel 0.
Boo yah!
I overtook a ZX9 and a Chunderacer too, on the old A1 at Ferrybridge!
I even managed to hit an indicated 100mph, but it took fucking ages on a very very long (private) road.

Up at 5 to walk the dog, then get dressed and drive to Belfast as my depot shuts on Sunday, on the bus for 7, Finish just after 3. Steak and chips for tea, and just ready for bed.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Started the process of putting the house on the market. I am about to find out how evil estate agents are perhaps? And son contacted uni about his accommodation, so that is now happening. Just been phoned by delivery co for them to say dishwasher I ordered 3 weeks ago is not in stock, and I have to change the order. Found something else for less, they can refund and still deliver tomorrow as plumbers are there to install it.... Then collect my daughters glasses which she has been waiting 34months for. Then off to Ikea to buy a wardrobe for the son's bedroom and mirror for the daughter.
Collecting a TV and two garden chairs from a friend.

Good luck with the wardrobe !
I have only ever been to Ikea once and that was to buy a wardrobe . Hated the one way system , hated having to try and find all the individual components , spending ages only to find out they were " out of stock " on one of the key components.........

Checked online that the stuff is all in stock at the Greenwich store. Expecting to do the two hours queueing though....

Re: What have you done today thread?
Sorted the contents of my freezer into bags ready to ship off down the valley to store in a friend's freezer room!
Repacked the hospital bag and the rehab bag (trying to reduce the first and make sure I have everything for a long stay for the second!!) - added a third which is stuff to do in rehab!! Who knows when they'll be happy with me doing cross stitch or crochet, but I'll take some anyway! And all my school notes from the French classes so I can look over them again and inflict my "awesome" French on the physios and other inmates!! LOL
Went to see my physio. Still freaks him out a bit when I have tears on my face from the pain! Not necessarily from what he does, but going from face down with my arm hanging at vertical to lying on my back is really not a nice experience But, hopefully it will all become easier in a couple of months!!
Just chilling now - so much to do and so little brain left!!

Re: What have you done today thread?
I’m in standby today, which means bugger all on a Saturday, hopefully!!
So I’ve vacuumed the girlfriends Audi ready to sell it as she has decided it is no longer what she wants after the attack on it and the Mini. She can’t fit it in her garage confidently so it’s going, sadly. Got all the last bits of glass out, cleaned under the bonnet, washed it, then it rained!!!!
Just been out for a blast in it, love that engine. It must be the lowest mileage TT around with 13500 on a 5 year old car. On a eBay later for £20k.
Now sat pondering shower first or dinner, chicken and chips, wish I had a basket to relive my youth!!

Just finished a 74 mile ride. The wind has just about done me in. 16mph average, with 4000ft climbing on a route I normally have little bother with. Looking forward to some food later today. Get some calories back!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Was planning to do the north Devon coast but the forecast looked a bit grim so we decided to head south to the Dorset coast instead.
Did some epic rainstorm dodging and had a very pleasant 200 mile trip.
The end of Portland BIll - glad I wasn't out in a small boat, really choppy!
Looking back up Chesil beach towards Weymouth
OH, and then into Weymouth
This was after we'd done the Yeovil - Crewkerne route down to Bridport and West bay where dozens of bikes were parked up.
Great day out

Preached at last service as lay person in what is now my "old" Church. Packed more stuff at home. Moved lots of stuff into new house. More stuff tomorrow to be followed by a photo....

Completed the stay at home Glastonbury experience. Watched David Bowie on the iPlayer last night, drank 12 cans of Weston's Scrumpy and then passed out. Woke up this morning and took a crap off a stepladder into the toilet I hadn't flushed all weekend and then set fire to my tent in the garden.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Came off a 12hr night shift, slept for a few hours, then I filled another 1/2 of one the 4 Gabions with stone that I'm using for a wildlife pond/garden feature. This is like doing a 3D jigsaw puzzle with no picture and all the bits are wonky. I then used lacing wire to close the Gabion cage lids down which was definitely a learning experience, after nearly poking my eye out and gouging my forehead I'll use eye protection next time and some stout gloves to save my delicate office hands. 1 down, 3 to go.

Pissed off down the M69 quick sharp and escaped Leicester just in time.
