Three in a row Rolex Friday

Friday fun, waiting for my bag at Lisbon airport

The private schools around SW London have a huge catchment area and Jemima can't possibly get the bus or tube with the common children.

The private schools around my SW London commute all seem to lay on big coaches to pick up their entitled pupils and generally block the roads with.

First time on a bike after three months off - what a miserable morning to start with. Cold, blowing a fucking hooley, just shite all in all. At least cs7 was quiet.

Is there such a thing as a decent audio to text transcription programme? Looking to save time transcribing meetings.

Nice bike and view, the scrambler is, for me, one of the nicest looking Ducati in a while.

Boring old gipper bit;
I don’t even ride my little c90 without earplugs, anything above 15mph (iirc) and it’s something like 100db of wind noise and you risk damaging your hearing. My dad ended up deaf from years working on building sites and it’s shit (and may increase chances of dementia). Cheap foam earplugs are fine - my bike jacket pockets and bags are stuffed with them!

Wonder if getting this leech going to Iraq this week was to counteract bad publicity over her unnecessary police escort killing an old lady

Preparing for a family funeral and going through photos. One of the mother-in-laws cars, cost a fortune every time it broke down but she lived it. Unfortunately she only has a berlingo nowadays.

Friday and away to Portland. Portland Dorset unfortunately.

The problem is shite English bar staff techniques ;) pour six starts of Guinness pints at normal pump speed, let them stand for five minutes meanwhile take payment, serve someone else etc, come back finish pints. Fuck drawing any shamrocks in the head of the pint.
No delay to other punters, everyone happy,

Two perfect pints today (the only ornaments of my parents my brothers and I wanted and the spoils of being sole carer!!!)

Any recommendations for patching the palm of a motorcycle glove?
Just general wear and tear but seems a shame to bin otherwise ok alpinestar gloves

This plus map folded up in a freezer bag for old school vibe

Nice!

Mines been back a week since service at Calibre and being worn constantly, it is now sporting an oyster bracelet, not sure I’m sold on it yet, but the jubilee is really stretched now. Sleeping cat in background!

Mmmm I’m not that keen on it tbh. Definitely one of Honda’s poorer efforts

Yes, my bad, probably true for a jazz - I am still bitter from getting rinsed when my frv got done

Happy Friday, reunited with my favourite watch.

It’s like new watch day, back from repair at Calibre Watch Services

Are the bike racks outside Brockwell park lido particularly safe? Mrs is thinking of cycling there whilst Tooting lido is closed

Seen a few riders with the rucksacks with the plastic domes like these

Hasn’t looked particularly nice for either party.
Bored at work googling throws up this

Looks much nicer.

Ulez compliance achieved on the Harley today. Crappy cold ride out to Bow and £350 later all good.
Day enhanced by some dipshit cunt deliveroo rider in Clapham nearly having me off as he swerved during an emergency stop to wave to his mate and a van driver reversing into me at a junction near home. Fortunately I hit the horn as he slammed it into reverse so it was a nudge rather than a full on shunt.

Really enjoying the 883 despite a morning of cuntery driving, much nicer in traffic than I feared and quite well balanced. Doesn’t like the edges on those oblong sleeping policemen though .

Happy Friday, crappy day and out getting bike ULEZ compliant so old school beater day.

Anyone got a recommendation for a waste disposal / house clearance company for south west London? Need to start clearing parents house and starting with a full garage (full of shite).

Go and speak to your gp, see if you can get some counselling. Don’t bottle it in in your relationship (guess how I know that!). Talking, even on forums is good and mental health issues are more common than a lot of people think.
I was told a variation on this tip by a counsellor to just take the edge of things immediately;

“ hold your head still and find a spot on your right and left side. Move your eyes side to side, finding those spots and do this until they tire. You will begin to feel yourself getting calmer.”

Make it so your eyes are doing a bit of work at the peripheries. I tend to close my eyes to do it. I’ve also had emdr for ptsd so can vouch for eye movement as a treatment for anxieties.

Yep, well done all, the sub is snide.
