Well it is obvious why you are single then

Saw a post on FB the other reminding me of this tragedy. https://www.westdene1985.co.za/

I'll take a pic of mine for you this evening.

Did a 75 km ride around lake Starnberg this easter weekend. Weather is improving rapidly this side of the planet.

The tar road pass several times but would not ride it in peak hours. Weekends early morning would be best. Well that was the last time I rode it a few years ago. The traffic situation must have changed a bit in the mean time.

Wishing all a speed recovery

Funny how perspective can change. I would think twice about cycling when temps would go below 5. Now I get all excited just riding in + temps at the moment.

I need whiskey reading this. Glad you are ok.

People in my office looking funny at me as I am laughing at a picture of sandpaper. (ze Germans do not know cricket )

Well this is good news if you are already posting here. Maybe some of us need to pull our fingers now wrt the Commuter Challange.

I don't call these guys "baggage handlers" but rahter "baggage manglers". On a flight from Cape Town to JHB I got my bike back and the fork was cracked at four places.

Klink amper soos n kollega van my. Hy het meer as n jaar laas met sy vrou gepraat ..... hy hou nie daarvan om haar in die rede te val nie.

I can see the bug has bitten. You even start to talk like a real fisherman/fisherlady

Wonder what Alexander Sinclair is thinking today if he would see this letter again.

I put my lock in my backpack. It would irritate me on my seatpost.

Wel ek het lekker gelag om te lees in die draad van egskeidings oor jou naaldwerk talent. Het my laat dink aan jare terug toe ek begin werk het saam met n vriend. Hy kry n oproep van sy vrou (kort na hulle getroud is). Hy sit langs my en kan sien die man luister aandagtig wat sy te se het. Toe met eens trek hy los ... "Maar liefie, vir wat wil jy nou gaan staan en n naai masjien koop? Jy het mos nou vir my". Die res van ons om hom het natuurlik nie suksesvol geslaag daarin om nie te lag nie.

Wat van ons oortuig n groot groep van die grondeisers om n stuk grond te gaan opeis op Tiananmen plein in Beijing of die Rooiplein in Moskou. Dit behoort nogals n skouspel (nie lank nie maar tog iets) te wees.

The pothole had to swerve several times before managing to hit him ...

Nobody been DQ'ed because of his crash yet?

I actually first start to work for about 30 mins or so just to wait that the worst of the sweating stops before I go clean up and change.

I developed a new found respect for my one commuting buddy. Not only did he commute through most of the winter he also endure last week when we hit -17. #Hardcore

Wrt the cooking. I often have to look after the kids myself for a couple of days and working more than an hour away from work it leave very little time in the evening and having kids you can't really take shortcuts with the meals. So what I do pic a meal like a patator bake or macaroni and cheese or something and make enough for two days. Then the next day that is sorted and then I just bake lots of veggies with spice and butter, enough for two days. Then the only thing that changes daily is the meat I cook. Then it does not take that much time.

As n ou nou so vinnig lees lyk dit amper asof julle mekaar se bedsake hier bespreek. Julle moet maar versigtig trap.

Blerrie goed

I hear what you are saying Landy and many people deal with stress situations by making sure they can define the cause of the problem to avoid it from happening again. Which in essence is not bad ... if you make the right diagnostic. But finding a cause and in the event end up making the wrong conclusions can be just as damaging as not find the cause. You wife/ex wife has decided to continue her life without you. That is the diagnosis. Any attempt to find out what happened before that will be difficult without her actually explaining her reasons (honestly) and that could have been dealt with with couples counseling and actually saved your marriage. She was from the onset not interrested in that avenue. Now you need to continue with your life and with your relationship with your son. Get stability and somewhere out there later on someone will be more than willing to share their lifes with you.
