Are they there ? I read somewhere a few companies have been priced out of having a stand so not going this year, I am sure one of the bike stand people were one of them.


As for me I am getting the bike out for a quick potter about.... need to have a ride :)

12 mile run this morning, picked the caravan up, cleaned it and packed it up for winter then took it back to the yard. Just finished helping James with his maths homework and am now taking 5 with a glass of wine.

Kiwi will appreciate this. You have to love autistic brain and the way the kids work. For 2 years I've been trying to persuade James to ride a bike, or at least try, but to no avail. Given up now as the weather just isn't nice enough for it. Today Mrs Nutz took them to the park, one of the friends there had a bike and apparently James just picked it up got on it and cycled off... FFS..

Needless to say, I'm chuffed to bits though. I'm looking forward to building his confidence and having some father son bike rides.

Totally appreciate that situation.

Byron was up and down with bikes. Loved his balance bike when he was young but flipped at a big bike and had to go onto training wheels even though he had the balance skills already.

Brided him with a video game at about 6 yrs old and finally got him off training wheels and bought him a bigger cooler bike.

2 weeks later he fell off it and grazed himself up and has refused to ride since then. He’s now 12.

Shopping.....and witnessing the first good spirits of the upcoming holidays.

Good gig last night from an up and coming band, Pip Blom. Very geeky to look at but a really good set.

They're like an old fashioned garage band. It was a really good gig last night, I suspect they won't be playing small venues like that again.

Laying in bed.

It might not seem like much, but when I couple It with the fact that my replacement went to work 3 hours ago(meaning my hand-over is completed and I no longer need to go into work this year), it's quite a nice lie-in.

Don't forget the fact that the local takeaways only deliver to my room!

I have to get up off my bed and walk for at least a metre to retrieve it!

Good on the frenchies - if they are not happy they take action rather than doing nothing.

Fuel prices go up and the Frenchies revolt big time as it affects their lives a fair bit for now.

Brexit happens in the UK which will effect Brits for generations to come and we let our politicians **** the whole thing up without a murmur.

Tell me who has it right?
Further to this, the French are still at it everyday protesting affecting all sorts of things now.

They have however torched every speed camera they could find too 8) 8) :D

They have also been torching toll booths and blocking the tax offices. I like the French (party)

Liberte, egalite, fraternite.

Love the French, especially when they drop half a ton of manure on Macron's door step.

Can’t say I disagree with their rationale, from what I understand Macron is trying to push through fuel price hikes on the back of a green agenda, which is bollocks, it’s a tax hike plain and simple, he needs the cash.

So the protesters take out Government owned money generating infrastructure, Makes a perverse kind of sense, problem is the toll booths etc will still have to rebuilt using Government money (from taxes, tolls and speed cameras etc) at some point in the future. (facepalm)

Not sleeping, apparently.

Anyone would think I was excited or something...
