    Jesus dude. What did you do to deserve that?

    Drank some wine and watched crap on telly tonight. Tomorrow I promised the misses we would finish tidying up the garden before going to the in laws for dinner. Sunday will be spent ferrying the kids around before heading to the park and if the weather is good a BBQ in the evening. Working on Monday. Hopefully squeeze a short run known the bike. Hopefully during dinner with the in laws.....

    A nice lazy morning after an extremely trying week, before taking the bike for MOT.

    Thought I'd just do a bulb and horn test and.....for the first time since I bought him.....Bill refused to fire up!

    I don't fecking believe it! The one day in two years I don't have a choice but to ride him regardless and he refuses to cooperate. Here was me thinking when I closed the garage door last night I could draw a line under the shifty preceding 7 days.

    Well me ,Had a toy lay in until 8.30 had breakfast in the garden watched the Blue tits ding dong into the bird box ,had a peep and there looks like about 5 chicks but very very small can't understand how much work they do to feed them looking how minute they are. A work mate came round and we had a glass of orange and a moan .Just on here now then dinner followed by me cleaning the brake pads and calipers due to the amount of shit in Scotland might have a little run to check all ok lol. Watching the match tonight and Sunday going too meet the Lovelies for Fezs Northern run (all welcome) then chill out .Monday is pissing down so I have Michael jnr Claire and the young Mul over which will be nice .

    Bastard dodgy connector on the Optimate. The bikes been sitting on it for the last fortnight with sod all going into the battery. A quick hour and a half on the, tightened, connector and three prods, two coughs and he's fired up so all is good. Now for a leisurely leathering up and the two minute run to Bridge.

    A lovely hour wasted sitting in the sun waiting for the bike to come through the workshop at Bridge Motorcycles, staring at the arse end of a Panigale.

    Only spoilt by pulling back up on the drive to meet the accusatory stare of the lawn mower tapping its foot with its arms folded.

    Beer me up, I'm going in.

    So your wife doesn't insist that your resistance can only be bolstered by continuous exposure to the pollen, despite there being a distinct chance that you may be the first person ever to die from hay fever then Simon...?
