Boy was it cold this morning – two pairs of gloves and a hat under my helmet. Gets surprisingly warm by the time I reach work though. Thanks must go to the taxi driver this morning who was picking up a fare a couple of doors along from us. As…
Proper tree
Picked up our monster 7foot Crimbo tree today, just as well our ceilings are high enough! Looks lovely though – better than this camera phone picture appears… The them is turqoise and silver this year so the red and gold of previous years has headed to work where Lorraine’s old…
Chilly Glentress
December the 1st found 4 of us at Glentress for a chilly Saturday cycle. It had rained all day on Friday so the course was well wet and muddy which led to my first proper fall. Here it is on YouTube – My first crash And here is me chasing…
Jet set weekend
