@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyCommittee meeting this afternoon. I've had over 3 months to prepare. Am I prepared? No. I've done a lot of work in the last couple of days and will probably look like I'm on top of my agreed actions and have lots of value to add. Ha ha! Fooled you! Paid work was exactly the same. I can [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy@FourT4 5 hours? Did you cycle 5 hours on your #BikeCommute?
Wow! I hope it's downhill going home.
As for battery powered gear shifters, I have rim brakes; cables all visible on the outside of the frame; and mudguards. My gears ARE indexed but that's about as hi-tec as my bikes get. š

Whilst reminding myself how #PaddyTheCaddy's passenger seats fold, I have just catapulted myself out of the open side door and landed on my bonce. š¤
I think my head's OK but my neck is a bit sore. šŖ
The only blood is on my knuckles which I scraped on the floor.
Good news [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyWe're a small charity with no employees and heavily reliant on the goodwill of volunteers to do anything. I'm hesitant to do anything that scares people away from the committee but I think I can solve that problem by doing all the boring stuff myself! :-)
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI'm pretending to be an Asda trolley. š§šØ
Ah, good, the rain seems to be passing over. Time for a quick pedal home. #BikeToot
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy[#CelebrityTraitors S2E3]
#HannahFry looks so guilty.
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI've just taken a #PaddyTheCaddy load to the tip and some clothes to the charity shop (including my 1 dress š š. I realised that if you only wear something once 25 years ago under duress then you're unlikely to wear it again!). I have also, in the last couple of days, cleared the conservatory [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI've just recommended that the small #charity I #volunteer with should do a governance review.
Oh, I am going to be soooooooo popular. š¤£
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy@keefeglise Between 2005 and 2007 I worked in a (Local Govt) department which still had a typing pool. Even then I thought it was old-fashioned but now I can see how effective it was.
The Clerks would hand write their notes. The Typists would type them up into some semblance of meaningful [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI'm worried Paddy O'Connell is becoming the new Gyles Brandreth.
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy@keefeglise I wondered which R.E.M. album you'd go for. Good choice.
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyJust choose your criteria and quickly pick 9 albums.
Do NOT think about it or it gets very very difficult.
Then, 5 minutes later, pick a different nine.
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI enjoyed choosing #My9Albums.
I did this quickly and without much thought.
These aren't my favourite albums but they're all things I was listening to either in my teenage or university years and all prompt memories.
There's so much missing. I was listening [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI'm in a minibus, aka The Party Bus, with 8 of my cricket buddies on our way to the League's awards night. There's 2 conversations going on concurrently. I'm in neither of them. It's always like this. š There's a buffet at the event and we're being presented with 3 trophies. And I get to look [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy[#CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors Question about mission S2E2]
@telred17 It definitely is! š
I presume the production team has to work through all of the possible options.
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy[#CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors Question about mission S2E2] What would have happened if 2 Traitors had paired up and asked to be released from the grave; thus making them candidates for murder and there were only 2 candidates. Can a Traitor be murdered? It would mess with the Faithfuls' [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy[#CelebrityTraitors S2E2 Mission] I'd've been shouting HAGGIS HAGGIS HAGGIS HAGGIS as I ran back towards the castle and packed my bags. š±
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy[#CelebrityTraitors #S2E1 #TheTraitors. Slight #spoiler] I enjoyed the first episode of the new Celebrity Traitors and I'm looking forward to seeing who has been murdered. Both murder candidates are responsible for putting themselves in that situation. They were too direct in their questioning [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyI had homemade (homegrown) courgette quiche for my tea. I've been tutting at supermarket quiches in the chiller cabinet and decided to make my own. The pastry was rather crumbly and a little too salty for my taste; not bad, though. The eggy bit was pleasant enough, although the courgette [ā¦]
@aroundthehills.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gy@johnmcnwoods.eurosky.social Yes, that's even better. š
