Definitely a two-day mantask.
I want to build a window-seat but there are some small cables in the way. Particularly one that powers the shower!

New T-shirt time!

When the weather was nice at the weekend I had this for breakfast! It was a superb idea, clotted cream, black-cherry jam and a cup of tea.
Brilliant. Very pleased with myself.

Well, after chopping down that tree in an hour it took three hours to did the stump up. Bloody hell.
I ended up hand-sawing through five HUUUGE roots, then putting a small trolley-jack underneath it to jack the big bastard out!
I figured if my little car jack can lift a 2.5T car up on two wheels.. it can tear this treestump out of the ground. I was right, it came out no danger.
MAAAN TAAAASK

Lovely long day today. Finished off with a BBQ a small fire and a lot of rum.
The most popular mantask to date, drawing admiration from neighbours on both sides of the fence as it fell.
Garden looks much bigger now.
I think I will install a hot-tub where the tree used to be and plant some nicer trees around that.

“ring ring Hello? Are you joining my conference call? Well it isn’t cancelled. Get on it you wanker. click”
Just overheard at work. This is the sort of to-the-point comms sadly lacking most of the time.
Just say what you mean.

Old trainers and borrowed headphones. It must be the marabastard.
Only the other day a man knocked on the door and when I answered he asked “Is your mum or dad in”.
Despite this, look what those arseholes at Facebook are targeting me in their ad-network: Hairloss and “women seeking older men”, the bastards.
Bare fucking cheek. I’m thirty two!
It’s no wonder I only log in twice a month.
Well the first of the bastard marabastard runs have taken place. It was meant to be five miles, at least that’s what my virtual trainer Jeff Gaudette reckoned I should be doing via Runkeeper.
Five miles for the first run, I mean for fucks sake. Anyway I managed 4.69 miles Jeff so I hope that’s ok.
Frankly I could have done a bit more but it would have meant running back past my house again and then returning which I simply could not face. I guess I underestimated where halfway would be by a few hundred feet.
I feel surprisingly fine after it, though my knee hurts and the shoulder I injured fucking 17 years ago falling into a mini-ramp on my skateboard is painful.
Thank-you to everyone that has sponsored me so far, very very grateful, I will do you proud.
Wowsers!

More mantasks tonight! Replacement of tensioner, idle pulley and belt on my car. It has been whining.
I checked the tensioner about 700 miles ago and thought “sounds a bit ropey but it’ll be ok for a bit”. When I removed it tonight it sounded twice as bad.
Like an old skateboard wheel :(
Anyway, will whizz round the block later and see if my whine is gone.
Hey here’s something awesome.. now we have a house.. we can get a dog :)
HOWWWWWWL
