I am taking my oldest son to watch a football match today.
I don't like football, but he does. The joys of having sons eh.

(we went to walking with dinosaurs a few years ago, was very good)

Mrs Blobby away so it's a boys weekend here with Blobby Jr. Sampled the delights of the supermarket this morning, just made some blueberry muffins, then it's dog walking this afternoon. Tomorrow, who knows, the fun never stops here!

Been busy this morning running about and tidying up.
A bad case of cramp this morning seems to have caused some damage to my calf so I'm staying off the bike today (I have ridden the last 3 days to be fair), so I'm drawing an ald fellah.

I have no idea what you look like but I still have a disturbing mental image.

The more disturbing your image, the more likely it is to be accurate.

Just done the Rutland sportive, only the 'short' 59 miler mind. I don't think there was a single flat bit of road on it though. Knackered now! Meal out with friends tonight washed down with a beer or two.

Fixed my fence, cut my lawn, hung some washing out, painted part of the fence ( til I got bored)

Finally put the last few nails in the coffin of a relationship I've been having for three and a half years. Gutted but I guess some things don't last forever.

Now to tidy my house like a manic woman to keep mind occupied - then out tonight for a curry and a few drinks with the girls

Been on the wagon but feel like leaping off said wagon and drowning myself in a vat of cuba libre

Cut the grass looked at a new house were moving into next month now sat watching Kung fu panda with the kids whilst the wife's out at some baby shower thing. Tomorrow is an early ride come home clean up for our littlest bday gathering ( more of an excuse to have a few beers) then roast beef for tea. Hectic weekend but I don't do sitting round much

Just under 44 miles on the hard tail mostly off-road with a bit of cheekiness. No bluebells yet and lost a pump on the way 🙁

Hung out some washing, just about to put the bike kit on the line.

Tomorrow, mtb! Happy Days!

Kids were sailing this morning, I then chopped some wood, changed a bottom bracket, then went for my first bike ride of the year (20miles road), to numb the pain I then drank some wine and will shortly be having tea and, hopefully, more wine.
Tomorrow I shall eat kippers then chop more wood before flopping in front of telly box if it starts raining.

Late brekkie and cartoons for us all this morning. Then a trip to a farm out in the salt marshes and a large slap up dinner. Kids are now snoring their heads off. Was supposed to be heading out to a party tonight with my missus but I have a filthy cold so will look after the dustbin lids instead. A bit of early morning beachcombing followed by a walk in the woods and then swimming is on the cards for tomorrow. No riding but actually quite pleased for once as I feel shit.

Today I've been over at Oswestry getting moulds made for both my bikes so some Rockguardz carbon down tube protectors can be made and collected some Mudguardz too.

Tomorrow, I'm off on a 38 miles ride over the Peaks. Should be good.

Went swimming first thing with eldest son, then off with his younger brother to buy a new bike (for me!) Bike well and truly christened at Gisburn as I managed to fall off a particularly easy bit of trail straight into a stream. Bike and rider both completely submerged briefly, bike ok but rider seriously bruised and now struggling to move!

Tomorrow - probably stuffing pain killers down neck followed by watching elsest play footy.

This morning pre-rode the Trailbreak Chilterns 65 course which was beautiful in the early bright morning, had lunch at my mate's house and now about to go and collect Mrs O from Heathrow - she's nearly home, yay!

Tomorrow meeting up with an Australian friend and taking her to the Trout and Tadpole Bridge - thanks for the recommendation, Singletrack.

Went riding over Cannock Chase, only my third or fourth ride this year. 🙁 Fortunately because I commute to work by bike my fitness hasn't degraded too much. Unfortunately I hit a boardwalk with no enough oomph, and in too high a gear, and ended up coming off. -_-

I managed to get my foot down on the ground (said boardwalk is only 6 inches high), but because I'm a hobbit, the height difference meant I couldn't hold my balance and I fell gracelessly to the floor, legs in the air and entangled with my bike. Managed to shred my leg up quite impressively. :/

Mr Toast was sympathetic and said, 'at least it doesn't look domestic violency'.

Tonight I will be mostly sulking.

Did a cracking 70 miler on the road bike down to Portencross on the Clyde coast. Sunny, mild and windy. Thankfully a tail wind back.

Tomorrow, wait for the rain to bog off and then hit my local trails.
