People don't get fat eating fat, they get fat eating sugar and starchy carbs that are easily converted to sugar and therefore fat.

Next time have the high fat sauce and skip the pasta 8)
Normally I do and the first time in yonks I ate pasta (I usually do zucchini nooldes or cauli rice).

My downfall amongst other things is drinking too much soy milk coffee. Gotta get my headspace back to doing it again. I balme my youngest as she makes friggin cakes and biscuits all the time.

Mrs WPT picked me up from work tonight. Worked a 13 hour shift for the last of 6 days in a row. Too much. Day off tomorrow. Think I’ll give the overtime a miss for a while. Worked a 58 hour week this week... a bit too much.

Second day of exercise today after being slack for a few months. Happy I've finally stopped procrastinating.

Working remotely from NSW, everything open and not a mask in sight. I've been using my phone as a Wifi hotspot to provide internet to the PC, laptop and a tablet and ive been very pleasantly surprised with the results.

Video calls, no problems, better than some people on NBN, speed no problems and I'm using less data than I thought. Thank you Telstra and Gladys.

Is a cyclist bar like a bull bar?

Yep but given we don’t see any bulls in Melbourne a cyclist bar is more appropriate

I need one for my walks! The covid cyclist is back in action, though to be fair it was only one outlandishly colourful fat dude that thought we should let him ride dead centre, all the others took to the left! He didn’t even ding and gave us a foul look! Asshole

Not many masks on our walks, even I dropped mine under the nose, you can’t breathe in them when it’s 30 degrees!

Enjoy

Bastard!

I don’t know if cyclists around here never ding or I can’t hear that frequency but I never hear them on the bike track.

But it’s the ones on the road who’ll ride beside a bike lane and hold up all traffic that piss everyone off.

Had a very lucky escape today that could have been quite expensive!

One of the local roads that changes speed limits every few kms for no reason is regularly patrolled by the hwp. Used to be 70 and VicRoads many years ago suggested it should go back to 70 but too much revenue raising is done there. No one does 60, unless you’re trying to piss off the person behind you.

Anyway cops were back there today, must be back in the blitz as they do a month of blitzing then 6 months of rarely being seen again. Now instead of the obvious spot in an old bus stop they hide in the shadows of someone’s driveway. Came down, saw them too late and slowed down but didn’t brake and went past them at over the limit still and they didn’t move!!!

Great win as i was also outside my 5ks and wasn’t out for one of the 4 permitted reasons so I saved about $2000!

Cyclists are used to dickheads be they from the city or the country.

Tow Truck drivers, Taxi and Uber drivers are the worst but most people most of the time are pretty good.

Let me know when ur coming down & I’ll invite the Mad Misogynist Monk ol’ captains pick Abbott to ride down here.
