Pep out

Was cycling through a local nature reserve the other day (legitimately on a bridleway, I might add) and there was a fellow making his way through a gate in a dry stone wall up ahead of me. He kept looking down, and appeared to be saying encouraging stuff to whatever he was looking down at so I dropped my speed accordingly, fully expecting a dog to emerge.

Imagine my surprise then when a big old 4x4 RC crawler pops over the rocks and trundles down the path towards me.

First mince pie of the season. I'm going to try to keep it restrained this year in the hope of avoiding too much Christmas bloat, so it's high end artisan shit for me only (golf club thread ahoy).

First out of the door, Marmaduke's bakery. I was out and about and hankering for caffeine and these were sitting on the counter top looking all tempting. Controversial crumbly top didn't really add much, but didn't detract either. Not short on filling, pleasingly boozy and spiced, but far too much like a mince flavoured jam for my liking, where is the whole fruit? Will probs bosh a couple more of these given their convenient location, 7.5/10, not a bad start.

Journalists having been giving too much weight to what goes on on twitter since they all got addicted to twitter

Just up into the peaks on the very edge of Sheffield. First mile of riding was sketchy as fuck as there was a ton of black ice even on the bridleways. I was contemplating turning back when I reached the point where fresh snow had fallen and it was a much grippier. Glad I persisted as it was well worth it.

Big improvement on the last time I tried to head into the peaks when it had snowed and I hit a patch of black ice when crossing a stream and took a slow comedy tumble into the water.

Have been watching the scream films for no reason other than prime suggested the first and I was like “why not?” and now I’ve done the original trilogy. Haven’t seen since they all originally came out, can’t say that they’ve aged immensely well, but you’ve got to tip your hat to Wes for doing that Knowing Meta thing.

I’ve not watched any of scream 4 and above, but I guess that’s where I’m going now.

Christmas present ideas sorted

Think this morning’s ride might be my favourite ever ride. It wasn’t big, it wasn’t fast, but the novelty and aesthetic of it was fucking amazing.

Bottles are up on the stayer website for those bottle-wanters out there

It’s only one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 6.2 million dollars?

You need yourself a valet

I've also started to have no alcohol Mon - Thursday

This has been the real difference maker for me recently, way easier to stick to plan when booze is out of the picture

That point where the floss breaks through between your teeth and cheese

maybe brush your teeth to get the cheese out of the way first?

This one

Had to take Buffin for her second jab this week. Made the tactical blunder of trying to get her in the carrier in a room with hiding places, and she got herself firmly wedged under the bed in a highly defensible position. Had to ring the vet to delay to later in the afternoon.

Lesson learned, I lured her into the bathroom with a bowl full of delicious wet food and then when she'd had her fill it was BAM wrapped in a t-shirt and then straight in that box. She was deeply unhappy about it all and is now scowling at me, whilst occasionally coming over to get head boops.

Bit of a shame that it had to happen today, as she'd started to seem a bit more chilled out in parts of the house that she had previously been v skittish in, and is now back to leaping at her own shadow in the kitchen etc. But at least she's all vaxxed up now and hopefully will forget about the betrayal pretty soon.

A very average 5' 9", so I'm still toward the upper end of a healthy weight. Am aiming to make it down to 69kg ultimately.

Finally finished slogging my way through the Foundation trilogy. I can sort of see why they’re regarded as classics, and I definitely enjoyed chunks of each book, but I’m not sure I’d recommend them as a must read or anything.

Down to 74.8kg this morning after a couple of weeks of stubbornly sticking above 75. Last time I was down at this weight was May 2022.

water reservoir is on the wrong side, it's a dumb design. All you're doing there is putting a heat sink between your coals and the side of the BBQ.
