Well “Scaredy Cat’ has been sayed and has had her stitches removed today
She took it really well
They’re amazingly tough creatures the common garden tiger
I’m squirming around suffering with the back having “slipped” out again yet Scaredy had her entire uterus removed and she was horseing around playiung hard ouit with “Fuzz Bucket’ the very next day as though nothing had happened “double hard” wee critter
The weather has held out well and I’ve managed to get the “Guzzi” out and about most days so its been “Danger Stock on Road’
The tyres are made of a sft compound suitable for racing so they I have worn a flat area on the back tyre already
When I get the next one I’ll go for a wet weather profile with a bit more tread pattern this one is great on dry road but scary in the wet
the bike has a short wheel base so it can get “squirly’ real quick once it starts to cut loose
I prefer something a little more sedate and predictable [call me old, a soft cock, whatever I dont care I’m still alive and riding]
I can ride better than some but not as good as others so I like to keep within my limitations, close to the end of them where its exciting but under control
I’m looking at getting a “bikini” ferring for the “beasty” just to break the wind off my chest and make her a bit more unique [different from standard]
I’ve got a little money set aside for it so i’ll sort it with the next service, I was going to be a cheap bugger and go direct to the franchise holder but then I thought its not that much extra to go through my service agent and that way it puts a little money in his pocket as well, after all I want him to be in business in order to do my serviceing as and when I need him to, I’ll get my tyres through him as well
I had a buzz when out the other night riding along the coast south of town out to Brighton with a amazingly clear night, no wind , glass flat sea and a huge orange moon coming up
It was one of those moments when you notice just how beautifull this world realy is, one of those moments when you take the time to apreciate whats around you, that you are often too busy looking inward to notice
Life has settled down for now on the work front and I’m feeling appreciated in my efforts again.
work shouldn’t [but often is] be about just the wages
doing the best job you can do and being appreciated and having your efforts reckonised is a big part of it [for me]
I always try to let my employee know i’ve noticed he’s done well when he uses a bit of initiative
Like today he cleaned out the toilet and wash basin area in the ablutions block which is a job that I normaly do so I was quite impressed as its not the nicest of jobs
He’s earned his bonus this month haha
Its good to have a guy work for you who thinks as a team member
Well tomorrow arrives early so I’ll “Blog Off”
‘I owe I owe so it’s off to work I go’ [sung to the tune of the seven dwarves]
