Happy this thread is here! I always through the years saw myself as a anti-racist when in reality I’m a non-racist with ambition to do better. I’m lucky that my wife has educated me to a certain level about what non white people face that I do not. Going to the Parliament Square protest was good for both of us. Seemed to be an outlet she needed and a wake up call I needed. I’ll contribute more to this thread for sure.

Also set up a new savings account for a trip to Japan(never been) just to make myself feel better.

Got a refund from the hotel in Soelden I was gonna stay at(non refundable/doe on a debit card) so thats nice. EasyJet flights I'm not sure about refund wise but under the current circumstances I really dont care that much. There is other people that have bigger problems than me.

Heard rumours that they would shut Geneva airport for 2 weeks soon. But they wouldn’t do that overnight so I wouldn’t be all that stressed!

Actually some friends are still heading for Canada so snow can still be had......I just don’t have the funds for that one.

Yep looks like season is over for now. Was flying out to soelden next weekend but that ain’t gonna happen. Hopefully there will be some glacier riding available late summer. Had a good season already but there is plenty pow still so massive shame(purely from a snowboarding/skiing perspective).

Nice! Yeah I've seen my friends Insta stuff. Looks like good times were had!! Actually good times are still had by the looks of it.

Going back to Austria (landing in Innsbruck) and so far it seems like im leaving for a less infected place so all good.........until my hotel gets placed in lockdown and I'm stuck for longer than planned.
Most of Austria is looking good snow wise though if you are above 1500m-ish.

Soggy, wet, fuck all visibility and usual sketchy drivers/riders. Mostly however people along Tower Bridge, OKR, NX Road and further was courteous and mainly up for helping people getting ahead rather than annoyed that someone else can move forward faster than them. Nice when it happens, sadly doesn't happen often enough. Weirdly today goes in the books as a good commute. 9/10

I forgot about this thread! I fucking love snowboarding. Luckily part of my job to test next seasons stuff each year. Not that it matters much. I’d still love snowboarding if I rode 15 year old knackered stuff.

K2 cinch is more like a flow binding. K2 clicker would be the comparable system to burton step on really. Both has it’s good/bad points. The boots aren’t all that much stiffer when actually riding them(only my opinion)Might notice it whilst walking but that’s not the main purpose of them.

Dibs on the Violet Hip Pouch, DM on it's way.

Yeah no clue tbh, cats are not very hard to take care of either!
Just think one of the kids got a cat without realising it might not suit their household.

oh, tried to uplod several images but that failed so here it goes... Bella the new addition

Rescued/saved a 6-7 week old kitten from neighbours. Been hearing it crying out for a few days and eventually went out knocking on doors trying to find it(all neighbours and us have 3.5m high walls around the gardens). Found the neighbour that had the kitten, I was prepared for a very awkward conversation but they pretty much asked me straight away if I wanted it. They kept her in the gardeby herself day/night since house was too busy. Paid 20(they paid 10) but got sub standard food and what not in the deal. Was gonna re-home her but they all fell through so now proud owner of 3....i.e a cat gang. Bella so far has been a rad cat and much more comfortable being flea-less and feed properly. After 2 days Mosley and Willow stopped being terrified/angry and they now get on really well 8 days in.

Engine 11 on OKR this evening. Will say hi next time, was just in a foul
mood due to work.

Thank you! That helps a lot! Looks like Pet Plan is the way to go after comparing with others.

Need to sort insurance out for my little'ish one(he is 1.5 years, neutered and not insured yet). Pet Plan seems ok for sub 20 quid a month? any suggestions are welcome. Any judgement on the no insurance yet thing is ok as well....I would have paid what ever was needed without having insurance(not rich, not even middle class, just have some savings)

So nice to cycle home in whilst somewhat light.
Less nice that one specific motorist didn't seem to realise that cyclist in the ASL standing still(3 odd second after red light) is not a reason to stop what so ever. Luckily only a graze to elbow, shoulder and foot. The van side view mirror was less lucky.
Didn't get knocked off or anything but what the hell!
After 20 years of cycling in this town this is the weirdest incident I've had.

Apart from that cyclists and motorists where all good as they normally are.

Will put myself on the list regardless but will there be a l/xl option(60-62 cm)? If not I'll just have to do my own adjustments.

It would be kinda like a greener version of OKR no?

Yep, in for sure!

It’s like they can actually be in close proximity and get along......for max 10 min and then fight club behaviour is back on.

Winter is they only time of year these two tolerate being this close together. Winter, radiators and benches is a recipe for a peaceful house. Until spring that is then.

Cheers buddy,
Mosley probably gonna piss on it to make point of keeping it holidays shorter!
