Have almost finished work for the year, but at least the last hour or so will be at home, having been kicked out of the office by the ever patient cleaners .... Cheery because I've just bought myself a ticket for Drumsheds in London for Easter Saturday... a little techno indulgence all for myself, j...

Happy birthday

Mrs PB and I decided to have a Christmas Day walk up a local mountain, the 750m peak of Cabrafeixet. Just as we reached the top a pair of golden eagles took flight from a few metres away. I managed to get this shot of one of them before they got too far away. https://i.imgur.com/KYYMPlS.jpeg Beauti...

So many complex and ambivalent emotions involved with this whole Christmas thing ... Whether or not it floats your (gravy) boat, thanks for your great company for another year, and hope we will all find something to do with this day that makes us feel at least a little bit good. May take the canoe o...

Congratulations Jeff, a very worthy win!

Just to reassure everyone that I haven't gone completely over to the dark side.... This was last weekend, a very pleasant bimble around the track on the top right hand side above Talybont reservoir, just felt great to be getting out there again after what was about three weeks on and off of having a...

Maybe an odd time to be posting this (aren't we all supposed to be waist deep in mince pies by now?) (I've just had one, with a cup of coffee and a tangerine to follow), but it's just a follow on from what I wrote above, and it feels like some sort of satisfying completion to me.... After November's...

Very good Reg ...

I was soooo wanting to take a photo, but thought that would be classed as unprofessional...same as taking up the kind offer of being "taken up the mountain"

I’ve been caught out like that before with old men

Ha ha, yes I did wonder...but a quick exchange of knowing glances with the missus to seek her reassurance/ permission, and I figured I'd be alright...

It was actually Thursday, but never mind, close enough... I was at work, on a home visit in Ystradgynlais to seen an old lady with knackered knees 'n hips about a possible stairlift... completely unremarkably looking council house, nice lady, etc.. Checked with her about what sort of heating they ha...

it's going to be a windy one!!

I'd.be tempted to get a train to Penzance, then ride to Norwich.

Good luck Shaf, it's going to be a windy one!!

Today, I shall mostly be messing about with cement yet again. That in itself isn't especially cheery but I do see a glimmer of light*, so chin up :-bd *very much like Reg I imagine. https://youtu.be/9ACNIxje0KE?si=tJFNsmA8HlloM2OY Good luck with the cement and eye healing, not to mention mince pie ...

But it is a nice story, and of course a true one ...

Have also had me wonder about the whole concept of it.

Curiosity would fancy being fly on the wall...

But definitely not for me....

Very impressive chaps

It's done alright, but it's got stupid cable disc brakes, so we're not on speaking terms at the moment

Came down with flu like symptoms Wednesday night, so having a few days off work but me+mrs_voodoo are supposed to be going to Amsterdam tomorrow for two nights! Had child care etc all arranged, just trying to cancel everything as we speak. Car park issued us a voucher and I was 12 hours too late to...

CF here, because 24 years ago today I did an alright job giving birth to a bouncing baby girl :cool: - well when I say bouncing, I mean flying actually :lol: - (true) family story, often retold, of how, my mum having told me fibs about once the head is born, the rest just sort of follows (it so didn...

Sounds like a great adventure. :-bd What bike and kit are you using if you don't mind sharing? :grin: [/quote] Haha, trust me, I'm not one to ask about kit... but happy to share, sure. On this one, from memory: Topstone Sora bike (don't get one) Acepack seat pack, bought from bearbones shop, very g...

Isn't it just!

Happy birthday for yesterday

I'm going to move on to the just released Panceltic film, anyone else seen it?
