Another cold start to the day. I’ve been using my leg warmers for a couple of days now. They are a bit of a pain. However high you pull them up, they always start to slide down after about ten minutes of cycling. Within a few minutes you begin to notice cold spots around the …

Amy’s 30th Birthday
Well Amy’s birthday weekend has come and gone. Is was very hectic on Saturday after Amy had left for chocolate making. We had a full house complete with two toddlers and a baby. The birthday book that I had painstakingly put together arrived at last from photobox. My initial excitement turned to dismay when I …
Foska Tangent Jacket
My Foska jacket arrived this morning and very nice it looks too. I ordered the medium size which I wanted for a slightly more casual look. It certainly won’t look out of place in the train or on the bike. It only comes in black/graphite and has the red and black Foska logo stitched onto …
Frosty start
Pretty cold this morning. When I left the house there was a fine layer of frost on the cars and trees. Amy and Jake were both sleeping like babes as I closed the door with a gentle ‘snnk’. Later I was to find out that it was not that gentle as the noise woke Amy …
Late night
I had another late night yesterday. I started tinkering with Amy’s Eeepc and before I knew it it was 12.30am. I spoke to Amy earlier in the evening. I could hear that Jake was still stirring in his bed so I went in and asked he he wanted to speak to mummy. Of course he …
Cycling
I looked out of the window this morning. No frost but looking a little grey and drizzly. I put on my bib longs, new buff and merino top. Out on the road it wasn’t cold at all. I didn’t need to put the buff into balaclava mode, but actiing as a scarf it did a …
More purchases
It was very cold today. In the morning there was a layer of snow covering the pokey paso. Jake and I decided to take a trip to Bluewater. Jake wasn’t sure at first but soon came round when I mentioned bath bombs. Jake was also excited about taking the Stokke which has been saved from …
The new one
I must say I’m starting to get excited about the prospect of having another little Wollny(or would that be two) running about the house. The due date is July 16th. That means another crab for Amy to contend with :-). Amy is just starting to ‘show’. Last time with Jake we had an early scan. …
New cycling purchases
I sent back my lightweight Sealskinz socks because they were too small. They were replaced by a mid thermal pair more suitable to winter commuting. The new pair are still made by Sealskinz but are thermal, mid length and have a merino wool lining. I put them on and spent the day walking around the …
Jakey
I worked from home today as usual. Jake woke around 7.30am and went ‘downdares’. I had the luxury of a little lie-in as I had stayed up until gone 12 the previous night watching rubbish on the tv. This week Jake has started to ask “why?” to everything which is very endearing. While watching “Ice …
