you keep getting sunsets, i keep getting sunrises yesterday morning from the top of long hill, after pedalling on up there.

i havnt read the entire thread but.... there is a very straight forward pattern to Windows OS releases - they alterante quite evenly from good to ****e and have done right back to 3.11 10 is a decent and pretty stable environment, i think, 7 is also still pretty good on my old laptop. 8 was brutal. so, on the basis of existing stats - wait for 12, or whatever they decide to call it.

up and out this morning, and decided to do the twin peaks again. a week off the bike, even with the running i was feeling it up the hills! also, the definite change in weather to being generally more damp, the ground is softer, so alot heavier to pedal up as well. following this up with 2 1/2hrs of shovelling and barrowing... i am gonna feel it in the morning. . but in a good way

got another 6k in on Tuesday morning, out and back earlier so less pressure on the pre work other stuff... little reminder niggle in the knee again, but other than that it was a good run. slower yhan monday, but i was bit more tired and legs were achy, the 24hr doms were setting in yesterday was a rest day, today should have been a trip out, but i slept crap and spent an hr half asleep on jr's floor again.. ill run tomorrow morning before going on site, then a decent cycle Saturday morning 🤞

weird night.. spud sr arrived at 525am needing the alarm turned off to get a drink... then i got up at 610, and jr cried at 615.. managed to get out and away at 632am, for a RUN! i got a steady 6k run in, by the river on the flat, and was back to do all the pre work/school/childminder arriving stuff done... just about! felt good, got a gentle reminder in my knee to not pysh it too hard after about 4km, but i tried to focus on getting more toe spring in my stride and it never got any worse than being "aware of my knee"... not too bad, not exactly fast either

i planned for a trip yesterday morning, but i think the awful thursday night (2hrs half asleep sitting on a folding chair with jr asleep on my chest, as it was the only place hed settle afterthe ptevious 3hrs of unsettled sleep...) hit me and i couldnt do it. so i got out today. and did the 2 long hill peaks... it wasnt too bad, just a smidge too long for what ican get done on weekday morning. brought the family for a trek uo to the cross too later in the morning, about 3k up and down the trail to the cross. carrying jr in the ergobaby sling for about 2km of it... feeling the quads now! have to go back to the office tomorrow too... start showing face there again, after 5 visits in 19months.... so i may swap to a couple of 5k runs mid week - less time taken but hopefully still a good cardio but short enough to avoid knee pain 🤞

find out what engine code it has, and ask about - clutch, flywheel, timing belt and service history (fixed or variable etc) all the usuals.

i got up and put in the dark yesterday morningand ground out a 13k on long hill , but out the north face at tge top rather than the full summit to the east. tge drop down to the front of the face and then the climb back up from it to come home, is a bigger climb gain than doing the 13k to the proper top.. its weird. but fun. i enjoyed it, even though i was knackered. it was the first morning in 4/5 minths i had my light jacket on to keep the cold damp off... felt weird too..

a decent sunrise sets you up for the day, esp after a 45min uphill pedal to see it..

would it nit be better to transplant the ecu and the loom aswell? i dont know if the sdi ecu will accept tdi information, given they are quite different setups
-
finally! despite the sleep deprivation and being knackered i got up, and got out today. tackled long hill, but the northern extension again. its a 13km trip, with more climb than going to "the top" of the hill, so its just as tough on the legs. no records set, not even close, but i didnt care, i just wanted to get out

im feeling a depressed right now.. (millennial depressed... sad... ) i got out Monday morning and it was a slog, legs heavy, struggled on climbs, ended up dismounting twice losing traction... it was just a meh ride up Long Hill. ended up in a bush on the way back down.. yesterday was to be better.. but.. i woke up burstin to wee 3 times during the night!! slept horrendously. 610am alarm went off and i was conked again in under 30seconds. woke up at 650 when swmbo's alarm went off. too f'in late to go anywhere. ill make up for it today. i woke up at 602am... spud jr woke up at 603am, with a nappy so full of wee it burst its banks all over his pjs 😞 so after a full strip and redress, he went asleep again at 622, plenty time.. except he woke as i slipped out his door, so had to go back, and lie on the floor until 715... too bloody late to go anywhere again 😡 ragin... and the killing part was the forecast was for the weather to be crap at that hour, but it was fine! wouldve been a beautiful morning, i may have even sneaked a sunrise photo, but alas nothing. and now im torn, as ive to work tomorrow night, do i get up go pedal, do the breakfast routine and then try and try to sleep when my mother brings jr out for a while??? or is it worth the risk of not getting my head back down before work...

Sunday, we got out as a family for a short walk up in an area swmbo used to hang out with her family as a child. then in the afternoon i went out on the Blue way again with Sr, and got him as far as Ferryhouse Bridge and back again. logged it from home and it was 9.3km, we walked the bit from the house to the blueway, as the paths aren wide enough for him to cycle and theres no way hes road cycli g as people travel way too fast along the stretch with terrible sightlines. he done well so he did though im now being given out to that hes cycling too fast... because even a couple of neighbours have said it to swmbo 🤷♂️
