Still as infrequent as ever, don’t panic. Quick update since last post, Ashington lost to Grimsby but we had a great day anyway. They’ve progressed in the FA Vase though and we’ve had away days, last one to Milton Keynes, and have another one on 12th Feb, 300 mile trip to Gloucestershire. Disco Bus warmed [...]

Been a while again, I should set this up to set out an apology at the top of each new message ;-) New job is great, did 10-6 for a while then they decided it wasn’t working the way they wanted so moved us to 07:30-15:30, works great for them, not so great for us [...]

I must remember to update this at normal times and not when lying in bed and not tired. New job is going great, makes a huge difference knowing what jobs I’m on daily and knowing what my days off will be. My long weekend this weekend, although I’m on holiday next week so slightly longer [...]

Been a few days so thought I would add it to the blog, I officially completed the #30daysofbiking, I cycled every day in April. End totals were:- 30 days, 123.09 leisure miles, 95.5 work miles, giving a total mileage of 218.59 miles. This means that not only did I complete the #30daysofbiking I also completed [...]

Well, after knocking out my first set of leisure miles on April 1st I’ve managed to complete the #Apr100 with days to spare, I’m currently sitting at 119.79 leisure miles. That combined with the 77 miles I’ve so far done for work means I have a nice mixed leisure and work total of 196.79 miles, [...]

Well, I’d planned a 40 mile or so ride for today. Forecast was good and Bev was at work all day so the plan was to head up to Alnmouth, with a flask of coffee and some cake to enjoy the day. Woke up with a splitting headache and feeling “squiffy”, my technical term. Decided [...]

Well it must be close to it, that’s for sure. A nice lie in till 08:30ish and started the day with coffee in the sun in the garden, where, even at that time of day, the thermometer in the sun trap was recording almost 30deg. We did a Sound of the Suburbs morning, where I [...]

Had some fun since I last spoke here, got to see some bands, drive the Beetle and ride my bike, hey maybe not exciting to some but good for me. Pics will be added at the end. Bands were The Blisters and The Half Cuts, bands from Ashington, both containing Posties. The Blisters were ‘headlining’ [...]

Quick update, in 2010 I cycled 470 leisure miles, hoping to double that this year with the #20111k, 1,000 Km in 2011, however I want to do 1,000 miles. Christmas came and went with happy kids, success :-) New Year came and went very quietly, not like our usual NYE. Work was very very busy [...]

I’m sitting here, on a Saturday night, watching football. What the hell is going on, I don’t get the TV on a Saturday night!! Oh, that’s because Bev has gone away for the weekend with friends from work, I can watch whatever I want, providing I don’t forget to record Strictly Come Dancing and X [...]
