A nice sit down with a glass of red is a life goal.
Riding bikes is nice too.
And books, books are cool.
questions for #booksky people

Do you ever give up on a book?

If so how long before you do?

I’m pg 911 of 2080 and I’m just not feeling this one.

Give up or plough on?

Just got home and Mrs Cog_Botherer said “do you want to go out for a quick drink?”

Remember when Bugs Bunny et al left a character-shaped hole in a wall when they were running away?
Well, I’ve just done that!

A day out on my @NorthRoadCycles Explorer Bess. Stacked twice, a fair few bruises and grazes 😂
A fine day on a great bike built by a great bloke.
‘Nuff said 👊

Hooray for my @NorthRoadCycles Explorer Bess. A few hours in the saddle is good for the soul.
Gratuitous cobbles pic to celebrate #ParisRoubaix

A nice ride out on my @northroadcycles.bsky.social Explorer Bess. Longest & hilliest since my lungs kicked off! 👍
Got home before the rain arrived too! 👏

Nice to be out 🥶🚴🏾

Is there a word to describe the sadness of finishing a book you’ve enjoyed mixed with the anticipation of your next read?

Today is stage 1 of me trying to get back riding my gravel bike. It’s time to give it a clean (outside and it’s -1c!).
Tomorrow I’ll ride and it’ll need cleaning again 😂

You know that feeling, when you get back from
work and you can’t be bothered? That’s me right now.

Lots of wet & windy weather today. Had a lovely vesper martini which made it more acceptable.

I read this (too) quickly. Thought it said ‘red wine warning’ 😱

@mixmastermichelle.bsky.social thanks for the follow 👋
Some questions, if that’s ok.
How would you make the perfect vodka martini ?
Which vodka would you use?
How about making a vesper martini?
I’d like to give them a try.
Thanks 👍

3rd post on here and looking for recommendations (my graphic novel knowledge is appalling). Currently reading this. Any thoughts welcome.
Please repost if you see me.
