Found a split in one tyre and a nail in another so replaced 1/2 the tyres on the Range Rover.

Started making a end grain chopping board. About 1/2 done and had to stop for the glue to dry.

I wanted to make a 4 panel seascape painting so laid everything out ready

Due to a paint measurement error I only covered 3 of the 4 tiles but the effect was a good start

Then I ruined one of then and had to start from scratch

This left me with 1/2 the number of panels I wanted

And this

Now what to do with the other 1/2 a day?

The removals team come to my place in Geneva tomorrow to start the pack up to move to Dublin.

half dismantled ten bikes because I don’t know how big the bike boxes will be.

half packing clothing because some will go in storage and some to the new place.

im so bloody organised that if I keep going they turn up and all the hard work will be done.

I've had the opposite, sacked off the club run this morning as it was raining.

Finished winterizing my road bike (having half added it last weekend resulting is skipping gears due to miss matched chain and cassette).

Washed and lubed the mountainbike (having half arsed getting last weekends mud off).

And generally did a lot of finishing off jobs!

I'm reluctant to start anything now and ruin my day!

I managed to stay up an hour later than normal last night and then didn't sleep so well, so really didn't benefit from the clocks going back. Finally got around to my first chain and cassette replacement on the ~18 month old (~5300 dry miles) road bike after cleaning the chainrings and rear mech, which felt like The Kryton Factor mental agility test in my woolly state. Then after having them for months, decided to try and fit the rear Crud Mk3 mudguard.

Now having a last coffee before a very short shakedown ride, given it will be dark within the next ~90mins. 🙁

Monday through Sunday. It’s at the point now where I don’t bother starting anything as it won’t get finished.

Got bored so bought a bike as an early Christmas present. Managed to complete the build so finally achieved something today
