Tried the Optimate on the MV again. It's working now.

Chinese food!! Found a neat hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant...good food, if a tad pricey....but then again even McDonald's is pricey these days. And I have a birthday cake to plough through later, as I "reportedly" turned 57 today, although I deny any knowledge ...

... a lot more self sufficiency in him (he’s been finally motivated to work with me on that) and really hoping I don’t need to make an early dash home again. He gets on really well with Jess, and has lots more trust and belief in her than his own mum. She’s put lots of time into understanding him and ...

... to fire. Finally got it going and headed of down the mountain. Was about half full so 10 km in topped the tank up. 5 mins to get the thing to fire again. Every stop I did it stalled out.

... that nonsense. I think we're still in the after Christmas slump where companies got rid of all the temporary positions and haven't started hiring again yet.

Well that was a short swing. Having to fly home early again, the ex has managed to cause Byron to meltdown majorly again. He’d barricaded himself in his room and said if he can’t go to mine he’s going to run away. So heading back. Going to have to work ...

BikeSure at 398 with Ageas

I paid £325 last year

Carole Nash just quoted me £707.60 with Ageas insurance.

Cornmarket is 594 with Novitas and 604 with Ageas.

This year's renewal is almost twice what I paid last year.

You can see why so many people don't bother to get insurance

Big breakfast, triple espresso and a green juice

If this doesn’t work for the hangover I’m just going to start drinking again

... his Road 6 tyres, he's seriously considering a set of these Dunlop's while they are on offer. I need to get more longer rides in to get bike fit again and also need to grow eyes in the back of my head, there were a lot of people on the first ride of the year today, some riding like absolute bell ...
