What the eye don't see, the heart don't grieve over...

what he said. like the pics though.

great pics Pedro, as ever. No coffee shops or restaurants are open here at all so no chance of stopping for a coffee. I'd have to do a Bob and take a flask and find a bench... ?

yup, going down that gravel / dirt road was stupid. I didn't realise it untill I was about a km in but yeah. I got away with it.

the first of Fred's in the snow is the canine loveglobes, and mine arent the right format anyway.

oooh, oooh, I got some more, not very "adventure" though

looks like you're about to get labradored.

muddy track from today. no blue skies here.

that is a stunningly sharp pic! me likey ?

it's getting to me. Weather's shit : 4 deg c and 10/10th cloud cover. blustery wind and threatening rain or sleet. It was something of a struggle to work up the energy to get all the clobber on neccessary to go for a ride. I did manage to persuade myself. I wanted to check the tyre pressures as I was certain they were down a bit having sat unused for so long nad with the recent temperature changes since I last checked so first stop was the nearest air line at the main renault dealers and petrol station. Nope, they've removed the air line and put a notice up saying " renault quick service centre does not check tyre pressures" okaaaay... fuck you then, I only ever filled up here cos they had free air. A couple of km's furter out of twn is a Total station with petrol ( thank you) and free air. Tyres were effectively 200 and 300 g light front and rear. Should be 25 front and 29 rear... that's Kilos per square metre. felt much better after that. No plan but took some back roads, that petered out and became gravel roads which I think I've been on before and thought that it was a through road, picking up tarmac again further on, so I risked it, gingerly though as these tyres are not off road tyres and not ideal on wet mud. a couple of km further along I realised that if I drop it im going to fuck my knee and / or shoulder lifting it. Answer: Don't drop it then... found tarmac again after 5 km or so riding down another lane I thought I saw something incongruous... WTF ? that looks like a giant rubiks cube... I kid you not! down some unpaved road theres this... thing... which I can only imagine has been put there for the benefit of trail walkers as it's at the jucntion of a couple of blazed trails I thought only the US was into outsize roadsize furniture... there's this huge rubix cube, an enormous chair, some outsize oldfashioned bycicles and farm implements, a giant chess set and a perch for storks to nest on... under the chair is a picnic table with a box of board games and some holly on the table with a sign saying " help yourself" I played an opening move on the ches board, and left. back up the muddy lane It soon became obvious that @XTreme is a bad influence and I found myself here, doing the cleaning thing before riding home. No leaf blower to dry it with though! only 50 or so km's and I will admit to having the heated grips on.

now THAT will be recoreded, deformed and repeated out of context! ?

" Blessed be the cracked, for it is they who let in the light"

just so's I can say I participated. Only pic of the month.

bloody right. anybody who got stuck since the beginning of the pandemic ( with the exception of truck drivers who had no choice) can find sympathy in the dictionary somewhere between "shit" and " Syphillis" . All you were sked to do was stay at home in front of the telly and drink beer and yuou weren't even capable of that? then fuck you Mate, you're part of the problem.

we currently are still with just an advisory of 6 adults max in a house. Curfew 20H till 06H00 which was lifted just for Christmas eve. no travel restrictions within the country at this time. The Brits can fuck off though...

after 800km in the car and hours battling french administrative beurocracy yesterday ( thank God Madame moon is good at the admin crap cos otherwise there would have been multiple homicides...?) today is going to be spent annoying the kids, eating food prepared for far more people than we actually are, drinking a beer or two, and possibly some wine as well, and then sleeping. We don't get boxing day here so madame is back at work tomorrow. Hey, somebody's got to earn some money...?

it has an aura? so atomic kitten?

PEARL JAM! Not " the fall", but "Rolling stones." and Soundgarden

cat stevens?

the fall ?

texas, stray cats, garbage, the 4 tops, red hot chilli peppers, salt N Pepa, the Jam,

you realise I'm going to have to kill you now?

senility probably

ask any of the techniciens who've worked with me over the last few years what my catch phrase is at work and they'll tell you " You need a bigger hammer for that..."
