Slept well, bed socks deployed. Weetabix and honey with a splash of milk. Veggie curry on the go in the slow cooker. Surprisingly looks nothing like the Woolfinders watery hell馃槈 Off to dentists in Pocklington with MrsT later as a filling has dropped out of her gob. Hour on the spinning bike then..

Been awake since 4.30am. All this clock fuckwitery boils my piss. Had two shits too. So there's that. Also, I have developed a penchant for cold feet at night. No doubt a sign of my impending departure from this wonderful, joyous world...

Emergency run to Tesco for MrsT for ingredients for a birthday cake for our son who is 39 next week... Yes 39. Anyway I took the opportunity to chuck in sausages bacon 4 cans of crazy beers and a bottle of Malbec all on various Clubcard offers. Apparently I've saved 拢25. I've spent 拢70 like.

Another 18 mile indoor cycle. Best week for a good while on the cycling front - 86 miles. There was a time, not that far back, when that was a Sunday ride!. I seem to be ageing at a rate of knots.

Rain stopped play on the gardening front. Got it cut but there's damp grass cuttings all over the shop. Bastard weather. Hopefully dries up and a swift sweep will follow. On my second cup of tea.
