blmweb

Must be Thursday… blmweb has changed theme again.

Will see how this trendy new one goes – might find a better background image to go with it too.

If you haven’t heard of them then where have you been living for the past few years. Check out the Wikipedia Entry for details.

Anyway, we saw them at The Festival Theatre last night and they were as odd as expected. The foyer smelled like a hairdressers on the way in thanks to all the student types who had caked their hair in products of all types in an effort to be like ‘The Boosh’.

The show saw all the usual characters mixed together in a mostly haphazard and sometime stumbling way – it was the first night of the tour after all.

We both found it pretty amusing if odd – and we knew what to expect!

We all headed off for a wander in the woods of Mugdock Park last Sunday to raise some funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. It was a surpisingly sunny day through in the West near Milngavie considering the downpour that was occuring through here in Embra. Steven stayed at home to look after Ryan – which was probably just as well as there were definite no go areas for prams on the walk – too steep/rocky/narrow.

Here are some pics of the day.

For the first time since I was 17 I am bikeless through choice! (broken bones and bent bikes were the other reasons)

Not sure whether to be elated at selling it for a good price or sad to be bikeless. Will see how I feel in the next weeks. Going to be odd going in the garage to get the bicycle out and not seeing the Fazer.

Anybody want any bike gear – will be going on ebay soon.

Size 9 Sidi Vertebra, well lived in jacket, Ladies waterproof armoured jacket, some other bits and pieces.

Well it looks like I’ve sold the Fazer and so ends (for now) my motorcycling that I’ve been doing for the last 20 years.

Genuine reason for sale (as they say in the adverts) in that I’ve done less than one thousand mile a year for the last couple of years so was costing me money for not much use.

My daily commute has come down from a 6+ mile round trip to 4+ miles so my bicycle is in use everyday. Bike sheds and shower at work make it easy, plus I’m getting my daily exercise!

If its nice on the weekend then I would rather go to Glentress or take a trip on the bicycle.

If the need arises in the future then I would certainly consider another one.
