Took the Raleigh to the shop. It broke. Again.
This time it's the front brake noodle and the front wheel has play (it moves side to side by hand)
I'm getting rather tired of spending more time fixing the bike than riding it and may just end up replacing it, sending the thing to die at the back of the garden in the rusty death it deserves.

I'm getting to quite enjoy this bike riding lark, I should have tried it earlier.

I have been to an orchid festival in a very beautiful area where we drank wine.

[QUOTE 4810792, member: 21629"]Our food caddy has been broken few weeks ago, thanks to binmen. There's a large hole in it.

So a fox or a seagull or a cat or all of them felt free to welcome themselves into our back garden to check contents of food caddy. No good manners at all, bloody animals. Took a while to clean everything. And there's a kingdom of flies behind the back doors now.

Will wait for landlord to come back coz I don't know if I can repair that hole with sellotape or we'll get a new caddy from council.

Our council are pretty good at replacing/repairing the various bins, boxes, and bags, have a look at your council recycling page they might have a page to request a new recycling bin (it's in their interest to encourage recycling and to not have lots of mess on the pavement).

To fit a new front brake cable and noodle would cost about a fiver and adjusting the cones in the front wheel is easy, if you're sending it up the garden to die then send it my way.

We're back home, a totally different drive home, motorway very busy, stop start in places, it took two hours to drive home. 220 miles the total for the day at an average of 49.6 mpg. We've had a good day.

We've to order replacements online, but go to council offices to make payment, before they'll replace. Unable to order replacement(s) and pay at the same time.

Down to cutting costs!

I said that out of frustration, I'll probably end up putting a new cable and noodle on + nipping up the cones but it has had that much work done to it for it to break again just peed me off a bit. If I decide to get rid of it in the near future though, I'll PM you.

I've just enjoyed a cup of brocolli and stilton soup.......t'was rather nice.

Err there are none.

It was a celebration of the wild orchids in the area and a huge wholly honest plug for the hosts organic and expensive wine . Guess which one we paid more attention too
