Cycling to Maidstone

Well less days left now before I leave Suspol. Fascinatingly I ended up working 12 and a half hrs Monday! That with the 4 hrs last week in overtime means I now have another day off to take. How good is that.
Saw Poppy and Laura Saturday and went out for a pub lunch with them and Tom and Emma. Cycled to Maidstone (34 miles)leaving at 5.45am. When i tell people, those that dont know me well look in amazement. Those that know me issue an expletive f*&^%g n*tt=r. I was fine in the legs and puff but shoulders were really aching. Had to stop about 6 miles so I thought from Maidstone to have a quiet word with myself to stop winging. Was fine after that but was in fact 3 miles from Maidstone. About 2 miles from Maidstone is a small village called Lynton..and its got a hill. A bloody big hill..haha. Just what u want after 32 miles.Anyway I amazed myself in going up it...it did help having the newer bike which weighs naff all and has a slightly lower set of gears. In short I pissed it up the hill...focus was well in.Was really proud of my little self.Arrived at Lauras for breakfast! 3hrs. A bit slow but at least I did it. Good prep for cycling with the paramedics in France at the end of May ..3 days 40 miles/day.
Have done a load of odd jobs round the house. Dont laugh..where Tom has been showering his head has touched the ceiling taking the paint off so I painted it and it all wrinkled and fell off! Tried again..it fell off!
Anyway I PVA glued it and its worked yippeeeee. Done a load of other minor bits. Gill has been in her move stauff about mode..paintings etc so been filling holes etc. Boring i know!
Some lady apperaed this afternoon whilst I was in a trance in the summerhouse saying shed put the chickens away. Very nice but they r free range! She said shed found them on the road. I said on the road or by the side of it. By the side of cse cos they never go on it!
She had put three chickens back in the coup!Enticed them with a bit of corn. I was sympathetic to her but I know she was looking at me thinking..'he thinks im a bit of a t%^t'. I did especially when she said she was a lover of chickens! Rnt people wonderful.She had best intent. Even had a bag of corn with her that I nearly made an offer on. Gills just rung...another 13 hr day and she has to get back from Hastings yet. She does put it in the girl.Best get her tea ready..modern man and all that.Its 7pm!
