Let's get ready to grumble

One of those things that annoys me is people overclothed. I'm out riding around the streets a lot during the day for my work and cycling too.

You see it a lot in Scotland. People don't have a clue how warm it is outside so they just pile on a few layers and then a winter coat. But when they cross that threshold do they go back inside and change? Of course not.

Maybe its the Scottish weather too, with our 4 seasons in half an hour, better to be too warm than shivering with pnemonia I suppose. It does annoy me though when you see someone happily wearing a t-shirt passing a dark coat clad walking ball of insulation. Aren't they uncomfortable. And they are always done up, never with the zip or duffle coat buttons undone.

Another thing that gets up my goat are cyclists doing either of two things and frequently both at the same time.

First is when their seat is too low and their knees are sticking out and they are having to put a massive amount of effort to move forward. Equally annoying is when they put the gears into such an easy stroke that they are going like the clappers with their legs while inching forward up some hill. Its an insult to Grannys to call it the Granny gear. Most grannys have more sense.

The glass of wine I am drinking I am conviced has continued to ferment in the bottle. I'm all spoken out and ready for bed.

Sadly I won't get a picture of that library around the throne in the previous post as he has sacked me. He phoned me to say how he hadn't seen me working on the job for a while and then admitted he was just taking it out on me then texted to say send the bill. This might sound a bit off the tone of what's gone before however I get this feeling occasionally lately about how a lot of men have missed out on having a good Dad. I got that feeling a lot from this guy. There aren't many cures for that one, in all honesty I can agree with U2, and say I too still haven't found what I'm looking for, well not entirely anyway, a bit but more to come I hope and really do pray.

Did the toilet library guy phone and text and pour his heart out about taking it all out on you all WHILE in his toilet library? I'm so sorry I said that. It was quite disturbing. Even for me. You deserve so much better! But I think you're right about the good dads deficit thing.

I need to post here more often!
