There will be no need for a CycleChat jersey...we'll all recognise each other by our trousers!

I've been nice and allowed Mr Summerdays and junior SD to watch technology at the dinner table, normally completely forbidden..... So they could watch the Apple announcement and comment on it.

'And here it is...Crumble'...
Did they like it?

 

[summerdays]

What has Apple announced? Anything exciting?

Apparently they have released the "most advanced iPhone", Mr Summerdays pondered how likely they would do anything but that

 

[IDMark2]

They make phones now as well? Is there no end to The Beatles talents?

I don't have a safe, now I'm worried

We used to live in an area prone to fires in the summer. The time we came home to find the fire brigade using our house as the closest access point to the fire which took out over 400 acres of land brought home how close we came to loosing our 'memories'. Whilst the computer and files were backed up, they were not in a fire proof safe. We were 'evacuated' from our home for 5 days before we were allowed to return. We only knew we had a home by ringing the landline and waiting for the answering machine to kick in... that way I knew we had electricity and an answering machine still existed! The line itself was underground, so we knew that was still OK and the fire had not got passed the house. It had gone underground and was still burning in the peat. After that we got a fireproof safe to keep our backups in and also took a copy to work as well.

I take it they're not CC'ers then!

They really have no idea on what I bike is unless it involves a motor engine or is an electric assist.... so no they are not cc'ers. Being monitored by my mother is reason enough to stay off things like FB even if I actually had wanted an account on it in the first place! If she comes here, I'll leave - that's a promise!

The gas man comes back today to raid my piggy bank and give me some hot water in the process.

Its sunny here and I think I might just drag the trike out and go for a bike ride.

We do have off-site backups, but other than that we would loose a lot of stuff especially sentimental things.

yep - you only realise when you either have a near miss or loose the lot sadly!

My parents have a safe because my step-father has a lot of firearms and well he has 4 or 5 safes including one that has the keys to the other safes... there are at least 3 gun safes in the roof, not to mention several in the garage that are anchored to the floor because they contain ammunition and then the one I finally have the code to (the one with the keys to the others) which also has the ammunition and other items in...

I've fallen in love with a 1970s Dawes that I was fixing for a friend. Rides like a dreamMy Peugeot will get jealous.
