How are you so quick getting pics onto the forum?!?
It was in fact a hot chocolate, consumed in the most posh surrounds of the Metropole Hotel in Llandridod Wellls, you know the one right next to the National Cycle museum...
Chosen for its excellent car charging facilities.
To call this a drink would be ridiculous.
We fitted right in there, me in my smelly running kit of garish colours ...

Head polishing? Sounds like a euphemism to me.
I'm sure someone on Here will tell me off for posting their coffee but this has to be the most majestic cappucino I've ever seen. Unless it's a hot choc disguised in a coffee cup. Or a knickerbocker glory disguised as a hot choc disguised as a coffee. Anyway, well played that Boner!

Sometimes manage it several seconds before they were even taken .
I love the way the sauce has gone off piste onto the complimentary shortbread. Must have been a very enthusiastic sprayer. Goodness knows what the walls looked like afterwards.

Today (and yesterday so I'm still OT) I have been polishing the heads of bolts people will never see. Can't explain why that makes me happy but it does.

My word choices today were in order Stare, thong, booth, cloth and, to be fair, I find that to be the usual sequence of events.
beast - trump - itchy - cloth for me. Approx 50% of mine are solved in 4 lines

Very very cheery! Mum's been getting treatment for cancer and today got the all clear A few beers tonight methinks but up early tomorrow as I'm off to go up and down hills whilst attached to a pair of planks, in the sunshine!

Enjoy Dave
Me, I'm just cheery because it's not raining again.
Thanks Stu. Didn't make it to the east coast for reasons, but had a good 2 and a half days of riding. Might post some blether and pics in due course. It was very much not raining, which was very much appreciated, the more so for it being very much raining on the east coast when I left, which is usually the reverse situation.
Mostly cheery as its the last day of compulsory medical mask wearing at work. Whilst it may not seem like much in the scheme of things, as someone with severe hearing loss who mostly 'hears' by lip reading, it's a massive step towards a more-cheery work life
Yay, it's a cheery Friday, now that I've wasted a bit of time scrolling through posts on here
Looking forward to dusting off the bike tomorrow, for what feels like the first time in aaaages....
And been planning a walk up Lord Hereford's Knob in April with some mates, and putting together sill suggestions for an appropriately themed picnic....
Undertones at Northampton Roadmender tonight with my mate Lord Jezzer of Bell End. Not been to a live Young Persons Popular Music Concert for ages.
I did it as a 'gigpacking' outing the previous two times, kipping in some dodgy woods next to the industrial estate after riding there on my Brompton, but I need my beauty sleep these days so it's last train home afterwards this time.

First visit to the office in a looooong time today. Made the trip into town worthwhile with a spot of #CoffeeOutside, and a trip to one of my fave beer merchants, at which a fellow patron very generously gave me a sip of their barley wine. Since then, my typing this afternoon has gone to hits.
My work leaving do last night - made sure not to get too carried away as I don't get paid to be hungover anymore so I'd only be wasting my own time! Felt slightly sluggish, but still capable of a quick yoga session, some bike tinkering (both mine and my girlfriend's new-to-her road bike for her impending introduction to triathlon ), firewood chopping, and finishing boarding the garage ceiling, which I really need to get back to before it starts raining and cutting stuff outside becomes an issue.
First audax (200km) in way too long tomorrow, so getting ready for that and an early night.
First works bender for ages last night although only 5 turned up. Broughton Ales 'Merlin' figured heavily but feeling fine this morning awaiting the heavy rain showers to go off before hitting the road on the steamroller
.
