Numi's boudoir

That's pretty much what it's like in the U.K., too. :( I think it improved some after we hosted the start of the Tour de France in 2014, but we have a long way to go!

A slight menace here in the Netherlands: people texting while they cycle along not looking where they're going! :eek:

Yes! Isn't that where the word 'sabotage' comes from? Chucking your wooden shoe in a machine to break it? Having tried them, I can't believe they can be comfortable for walking, however well they're fitted, because feet flex and bend when you walk. And wooden shoes, well, they ... don't! :D

I have much sexier shoes than that at home, anyway... ;)

You are quite correct on the reported origins behind the word sabotage. If I had to wear those things all day I'd chuck them at something too. But as I understand it you use a different style of walking with them.

Continuing the theme of 'rude things on hotel walls in Europe', here's another one:

I admire hotels and restaurants that exercise artistic style in showcasing the feminine form by means of decorative art on their premises.
 
Hey, papadoc! :kiss: I've been busy turning the pedals today. 100 kilometres! :eek:

How's your weekend going?

Hi Numi, a nice day ride that one, luggage on with you? Am envious, just spent a week fighting a chest infection and no cycling allowed ( nothing allowed one day, was so bad!) so am going to gently turn the cranks for about 16 miles - 28 km?? - today to get me back into it.

Trust HB has been looking after his duties towards all things saddle soreness?? :devil:
 
My weekend has been very chill so far. :)

100 KM? :eek:

*Gives you a virtual massage*

Oh, that would be sooooo good... Had a day off today, so things are a little less ... stiff ;)

Are you a good masseur, papadoc? (Do you offer any extras? :D :devil:)

I love her little crochet top with the rings along the top. I guess the model must have been wearing that. I bet she looked incredibly hot.

There's a British lady porn director called Anna Span, one of her scenes I've seen has a sculptress and her female assistant cleaning up after a creative session. And then getting creative... ;) I imagine the lady in the crochet top might have inspired such creativity too... :devil:
 
Sadly, not much stamina for anything else afterwards! :D

Rest day today, though. Just saying.... ;) :devil:

Just saying what?

I don't understand.

I'm going to need detailed explanations. With pictures. And diagrams. And graphs!

:p


Morning. :)

(Well, not where you are, but it's the thought that counts)

Luggage, yes, but travelling pretty light. I did insist on some wisps of lace, though, some standards just have to be maintained ;) It's sooooo flat here that it's much more the bum which suffers than the legs - my legs could have done more than that 100km, but the bum said "Nooooooo!" :D I think we've done about 350-ish kilometres so far in total.

A chest infection? That sounds horrid, I hope you're getting the right meds to clear it. Low gear, high cadence, gentle run-out and then a hot bath, that's my advice. *reaches across the Channel to scrub your back*

I'm sending H for a shower and shave shortly. See how much recovered from the 100km he is... :devil:

Don't worry, I'll take extensive notes. Mentally, that is, I think my hands might be busy... :devil:

Or I could do dictation? :D

Afternoon :) Late afternoon... Nearly time for aperitif, wandering hands and seeing if that dining table is as sturdy as it looks :devil:
 
Hey Numi, just a quick stop-by to say that I hope your trip is living up to your expectations!

Love the different wall art, are you buying souvenirs as you go? I loved buying art in Vietnam and having it shipped home, waiting for me.

Take care out there! :rose:

Yes I am and for you of course ;):devil:

I hope your week is going well :rose:
 
Dining table report: yep, sturdy... :devil:

Today's wall art:

Not sure if those are rude or not :confused:

Not a patch on the other two, I reckon. Maybe this could be a new TripAdvisor category? (Other review websites are available... ;))

Nope, those aren't the least bit rude and remind me of some pieces like them I used to own. Hopefully the dining experience was a good one.

Thanks, Tal! :rose:

It's been fantastic, I've loved it. There's even been sunshine this week, and my pedal-entanglement bruises from where I nearly fell off on a rickety bridge (and into the canal :eek:) are fading ;)

Wow, Vietnamese art, that's a great souvenir of your trip. I've had wine shipped home before, that's fun to come home to, and bought occasional paintings to bring home, it's a lovely way to remember a holiday.

How's your Mum feeling about your upcoming holiday plans now? Things aren't getting any better 'up North' really, are they, in recent days... :(
 
Yes I am and for you of course ;):devil:

I hope your week is going well :rose:

Oh good. Let's start with my stiff calves and work, ahem, 'up' from there... :devil:

I've had a lovely week, thank you, very relaxing. Only one full day's riding left :( Although that will leave more time for, er, 'riding'... :)

There were six, quite striking as a set. But no, you're right, not very rude :D

Found this lady in the 'honesty bar', though:

I like that the flower is looming over here. And looks ... vaginal... :devil:
