Stay away, I have the plague

Pugh gave it me. Or maybe Bikram yoga
gave it me. Either way, I feel rubbish. But that's no excuse for
not updating the site for yonks. terribly sorry.
How are you? What a lot has happened in a month egh. I have a motorbike all of my own. Honda cd250u. Awesome power! (I might be exaggerating a little there but it is awesome) Only clocked a couple of hundred miles so far on little jaunts round these parts but lots of fun. Miss Pugh has been on it and loved it. Super.
I got away to the snow before the season officially kicked in. Courtesy of First magazine we headed off to Tarantaise and stayed with Gav and Connor of Green Rides chalet. (All very eco friendly and perfectly situated 10 mins drive from the slopes.) They were enjoying a pre season warm up and I was loving the snow. And the Jager. Mr Green and the crew got some super shots and no-one wanted to come back to london where it's rained non stop since. boo.
But I met Laura Marling (who's lovely and about 10 years younger than I thought) and Billy Bragg in one day and got all my christmas shopping done (on a different day!)
The christmas card photo is done and dusted. Bah humbug and all that. I've also listened to the new kanye west album about a million times. One of those annoying ones which I hated at first and now it's just so easy to stick on whilst I'm working.
"If you admire someone whey don't you go ahead and tell them. People never get the roses while they can still smell them."
And "Stronger" is still very very good. Anyway. We went for a little ride last night on the kids bikes to Euston banks. McGillivray took a fair few slams but got up every time smiling which was both a relief and funny. His hops are off the chain - there's some wu-tang there I tell thee.
Talking of bikes, I've had mine stolen. My on-one pompino in sky blue (yes - they do make them in black too) was taken from outside the Bikram Yoga centre on Vestry Street (nr Old St). Boo hiss. Luckily the brakes weren't on so the tea leaf might find himself in 'opital. We can only hope. SO, if you see someone riding a pompino with white vinyl over the down and top tubes, bullhorn chopped bars with brown toshi bar tape, black lx cantis, black specialized cross levers, silver spds, black leather saddle, on-one cranks, anodized blue cable guides, black HOPE ti-glide front hub and white screw in bar plugs, please put a stick in their spokes and give me a call - 07745904601. Ta.
On a much sadder note, the great Evel Knievel went to the great Snake River Canyon in the sky last Friday. Who hasn't jumped a ramp made of bricks and planks and wished there were 14 greyhound busses under them? He did the pelvis breaking jump at Wembley stadium knowing he didn't have the right gear to get up enough speed, all so he didn't let the crowd down. Legend. A big loss. Dig the bike out and go for a cruise in his memory then have a beer.
That's that for now. Hope everyone's well and happy and free from the lurgy.
Speak soon.
