Thanks for that, now on Spotify. Our string quarter last night were all Dutch, despite the name (Regazze Quartet) and the music (Dvořák, John Adams and Bela Bartok). And we sat on chairs.

Much less painful, in so many respects.

Crane News.

No pics. But speaking to the JCB digger driver this morning.
The cranes will be erected at the end of November. One of the cranes will be 98 meters tall. It will be the highest free standing tower crane in Europe.

Now that really does deserve it's own thread

Not happy with you lot, why did nobody tell me there was a new Jack Reacher film coming out?

And no, the lead actor still hasn't gotten any taller, he is still a short-arse (no offence Jo/Hoppy)

In the books, he's well over 6'

A beer can has just emptied itself in my pannier. Usually it's just me that smells of stale beer, now I can blame the pannier. In other pannier news, cycling back from the shop I noticed an Aldi buff lying exactly where I'd just cycled 30 minutes earlier. Convinced I'd just found something before I knew I'd lost it I picked it up and stuck it in a sidepocket. It was only when I discovered the beer that I also found my absolutely soaked buff in the bottom of the bag, along with a pair of gloves. Luckily, I'd just bought some washing powder so it was suddenly glove and buff washing time.

5 days of soberness and i'm feeling

However or some reason i have needed to go into a particular cupboard where i have hidden the wine three times today for other reasons and i keep seeing the wine bottles just stood there beckoning me.

They need to go in the shed i think.

Wonder if @Pat "5mph" will be queuing up at Aldi in the morning for one of these fashionable bits of clothing?

I really need to clean the camera lens on my phone.

I have joined a gym. Not the torture machines bit but the swimming pool! I am hoping this along with the odd winter ride will help me get my mojo back.

I used to be quite a good swimmer. I have a huge Ape Index.

We've had 3 days of bad crawling commutes in the car. My poor old right foot isn't used to all this and I can't actually walk on it properly.

I've installed IOS 10.... I hate change and so far I'm just finding the changes frustrating!
