up YOUR date, mate.
i got sunburnt on my back today.
through a long sleeve shirt.
FML.
haha rekt.
shouldn’t laugh tho, mum had two melanomas taken out last week. Be careful rolu!
BC: I did my shoes up slightly tighter than normal this morning.
Ugh. My Doc Martins are so sensitive to overtightening and I can’t know if they’re overdone until I stand up in them. It’s THE WORST
I bought a pack of Smith’s Lamb & Mint flavoured chips.
My Sperry Chukkas do the same thing. Plus they have the stupid leather laces that will NOT stay done up unless the tightness is just-so.
I’m quite partial to the Peking Duck variety.
I’m listening to a Courtney Barnett song and I don’t hate it. It’s boring, but okay.
Talked to Muz about this the other day, still not convinced.
Needing to get the kids out of the house so my wife could sleep between night shifts, I took my kids to the mall. Movie, lunch, icecream and the Ikea ballpit. About 5 hours inside the one building.
I also enjoyed Incredibles 2, and thought the superhero mum was sorta hot.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still not convinced either. This one song was okay, and one other I heard that she did with that bloke was okay too. But every time I’ve tried to give another song a chance I’m indifferent to the point of near-dislike.
Incredibles 2 is a great movie. A good part of me preferred it to BlacKkKlansman.
+1 on Incredibles 2, watched with the fam on Saturday morning.
$6 tickets…yay!
If I may chime in, I am with you on this. I can understand why people might not like her music so much, but I don’t understand why she’s really so critically highly regarded either. I feel like the music floats firmly in the BORING part of the spectrum, even if the lyrics can be really good sometimes.
Recently bought a Rapha leather essentials case, thinking the leather would have more give in it so it would fit my tube, mini tool kit, inflator head, 2 x c02 canisters, a pair of maxxis tyre levers and some patches whereas previously the non leather Rapha essentials case i bought i couldnt get to fit. After 15 minutes of positioning and re positioning, i got it all to fit. But i didnt like how tight it felt and was worried about the leather stretching to the point of damage. Instead i packed it the same way into my non-leather Rapha essentials case and sure enough, it fit.
BC: bought a Rapha leather essentials case for nothing
SJ: i do like the details of the leather essentials case, i just have no use for it at the moment.
BC: my commuting “essentials case” is an old STM laptop bag accessory case. Like a pencil case but a little more sturdy. Holds two 650b tubes and all my tools very neatly.
yeah, my first one was a neoprene camera case. Still currently in use as my commuter repair kit case that sits in my backpack pocket. Ive also got another one for the mtb
BC: I haven’t been posting any of my recent purchases to the “what bike shit did you buy today” thread. Got panaracer tyres and two ultegra chains. Seemed too boring.
Edit: Recent boring purchase summary (for completeness then)
- Panaracer gravel king slicks. (Look good, herringbone type pattern. Should be tubeless compatible. Not fitted yet. waiting for current tyres to wear out more)
- 11sp ultegra chains (replacing commuter and mtb at same time)
- x-lab nanoflator to replace my broken shitty one
- Kali full face helmet, fox goggles
- A couple of mx jerseys (so much cheaper than mtb specific ones)
- Bell full face helmet (kid)
- various clif bars, gu’s, co2s, socks, to make up free shipping
feel exactly the same!
also got my gravel kings yesterday, and have bought a whole bunch of other boring shit, ie mineral oil, cycliq adapter, minitool, rapha jersey and case…
