(no sex please, were British & this is the OT forum, so no bikes)

Just finished the World War Z audio book , very good throughly enjoyed it, to the point of playing it nearly non stop.

Anyone else enjoyed anything, that can be shared? (with a view to other ppl trying it) Books, films, beer, food….

Wine making. 2 gallons of 50:50 Damson and Elderberry on the go this week, following 2 gallons of plum wine started last week.

oh and made yogurt this week too, lovely.
G/f was like, “we don’t eat yogurt”, then I got her addicted to yogurt, banana & honey smoothies.

No sex and no bikes? What else is there to enjoy?

Back to badminton after 3 months or so of injuries, finally getting a bit of power back in my shots, and drops, serves, and trick shots are as tight as ever, which is nice. Backhand and flick serve still a bit dodge though.

Also watched “Hobo with a Shotgun” which does exactly what it says on the tin. Incredibly violent and gory, but still fun. Started watching Breaking Bad too, it’s very good.

My wife had a baby, I get 2 weeks off work, my home-brew beer is ready, my camper van is nearly fixed and I just picked 5kg of blackberries off the bushes on my local singletrack loop.

This week is winning, now what bike for a 3 day old?

Cool, loadsastuff.

Erm… Curry on Fri eve, BBB on Sat, The British Museum then Brick Lane Market on Sun and catchup with friends, laid in late yesterday, long afternoon in Carluccios… loverly.

NO sex 👿 Broke E string and burnt finger on oven last night, this week sucks so far.

And watching the Val di Sole downhill on Sunday of course.

Congrats meehaja!

Enjoyed my footie team beating their local rivals, and the cricket, and finished reading ‘with the old breed’ by Eugene Sledge – a pretty humbling book to be honest.

nothing this week

A nice wee canoe expedition in good weather with a great group of teenagers.

The rise and fall of wagenwheel. 😈

Wandering out to the back garden at 7am to pick blueberries to go on my porridge.

Congratulations Meehaja!

My Mrs has been away for the week in Greece at her mate’s wedding – apparently I couldn’t go because of work commitments 😆

Back tonight so making the most of it, quick blast on the bike followed by a few Stella’s and a walk down to the local Indian for tea!!

Learnt to true a wheel from YouTube. Took 2 days and plenty wine.

First guitar group lesson this evening was great fun!

Work, not travelling for a whole week, plenty of that which we are not allowed to mention, the cricket, pootling through town on my pub bike, my epic local pub and more….!

just poured a glass of fine french cognac -)

Got to play a viking in a movie for a friend of a friend

went to Alton Towers yesterday. 😀

Bought a new car today, huzzah! 🙂

Loch Lomond

Food cooked on an open fire. OK ‘heated’.

Sleeping on the ground, not so much.

Not much really. My stomach has only just settled down after a particularly nasty case of the gripes the previous weekend. My toothache which started about the same time has only just gone too. I’ve ridden a whole 70 miles in two weeks which is very poor form.

Highlight of the last week? I know you said no sex but a woman at work had a low cut top on and by accident (I knew it was there but was deliberately avoiding it), I looked down it…looked up and she was watching me. She smiled and did a tiny jiggle. The eye contact was lots of fun. Just flirting though. That sort of stuff can fix tummy problems in seconds.

I enjoyed experiencing my first earthquake today. I say enjoyed – it was awesome to be in something so powerful and so uncontrollable. After the fact.

At the time – I was just a tad scared 😯
