So what have you done today..?

Particularly gin.

 

Craning in day.

 

Just a reminder folks that the Pioneer run is on today.!

 

I know; I've even made the papers...

 

Fabulous, now that IS a bit of freedom

 

Spent the entire morning emptying the leaking water butt and attempted a repair with HDPE plastic welding. Third time appears to be successful but I ask you; why do I do it?
I waste so much money on stupid things but just can't resist the urge to repair! I guess a lot of us grew up with parents from the make do and mend generation but sometimes I worry about myself. It would take 20 minutes to take the leaking one to the tip and another 20 minutes to buy a new one for £40 but oh no, not me, I have to spend hours trying to repair it which, it would now seem that I have done.
Please tell me I'm not alone in these endeavours

 

You are not alone.
I do exactly the same as I find it really satisfying, and hate the thought of anything going in to landfill.

 

Lemon Meringue pie yum yum

 

Is Pound Cake the same as Lemon Drizzle cake?

 

Ducati at the Pioneer run and yes i didn't take any photographs of the older bikes as they're floating around inside my head.
Also me in the afternoon chopping up a ash tree fallen branch 4 the next winter period.

 

A very satisfying day then, well done.

 

I think so, i could've gone down to the finish at Shoreham, maybe next year if the sun out in force.

 

i nearly went, wouldn't have missed this 10 years ago but woke too late to get organised.
Good to read that you got out - that is one clean Monster.

 

I didn't know anything about the Pioneer run this year but when you mentioned Shoreham that is just up the road. Is it an annual event and where would it usually start from?

 

I was thinking of Afroman, his popular and viral track "Lemon Pound Cake", and his recent success in litigation. Police tried to sue him, and were made to look really stupid.

 

I guess they were all looking like they'd been sucking on lemons

 

Are you the Green faced Blonde?

 

That paving you have is, I would say, early 19th century. Don't see those square blocks anymore.

 

No; anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I am Victor Meldrew.

 

It starts at Epsom with the midpoint stop at Leonardslee Gardens, that's where i watch them arive.
