I've finally got around to trying a Brompton. A friend invited me to a Brompton ride to Bath and back, and hired a bike from the station. It may have been an expensive ride!! My borrowed bike was the pink and blue one! View attachment 353310
And of course there was cake! View attachment 353311

Top marks for the cake.That is a very good size.Unlike my piece of pudding in Zizzis in Edinburgh.Measly i would describe it.Now Mrs Postman's ice cream sundae oh my word,what a pudding that was.EEEEEnormous.

Did someone say something??

Blimey, does everyone have this week off....?

Time off for me started eighteen months ago

 

[Gravity Aided]

I have Monday off, as it is our Memorial Day. I thought about taking Thursday and Friday and Tuesday off, so I'd have a week, but I may save that for later, as I may have an op in my future.

It is a Bank Holiday weekend.

Bank holidays mean nothing here. If your working, your working. Nights too. In fact my watch are on Christmas day this year. No extra cash or anything, oh the joys of the words "consolidated wage".

That's pretty standard for a bath, what you'll find is that it isn't a channel it is chiselled out at an angle as a vee then filled/plastered above once the bath is lowered into position.

Oh go on cheer me up.. I was hoping that I might be able to lower the feet and tilt it enough to allow it to clear but you may be right. Er in doors thinks it is a simple task, a plug in affair, so if you have any more bright ideas please let me know.My head hurts, just thinking about about what has gone in since the bath was fitted and which can now be in the way. Where can I buy 3 pairs of rose tinted spectacles?

The delights of that Larndun await today, I'm not sure I will even get my lunch at Oxford Services... Boo!

In other news my recycling wheelie bin looked rather spectacular as I wheeled it out this morning, it had snails on the wheels and it looked a bit like Bodicea's chariot.

Good parent duties there, Postie!

For the first summer for very many years, we are not required to help with a uni accommodation move because Miss K is actually staying in the same house for another year. Last year's move from one house to another was knackering. She is in a house that is down a foot path so you have to carry everything from where you can get a parking space. She is also on the top of 3 floors and the stairs are narrow. Apart from that it is lovely! Not looking forward to this time next year! Young Mr K lived in 4 different houses over his 4 years in Nottingham, each one more habitable and closer to the university than the last.

@Salty seadog Are you trumpton bud?

Feeling a bit brighter this morning, funny thing is it the teeth either side of the extraction that are complaining, mind you the bugger didn't want to come out, the tooth had broken just above the gum so the dentist didn't have a lot to get hold of.

Yep, it's tiles off time then you'll see how they put the bath in. Normally it's tap end in with the bath at an angle lengthwise then lower the sloped end in, silicon all round then fill the wall back up, more silicon, then fit the right angle plastic trim and re-tile so disassembly is the reverse order.
I assisted a former colleague of Maz's (BT engineer/level 3 manager) who took 'release' (redundancy with a BIG payoff) and set up as a plumber/electrician fit our new bathroom and that doesn't leak 8yrs later. Mind you I blew Dave away when I fitted the flooring which is 'Marmoleum',(traditional Linoleum with a 'marbled' finish) I laid a ply sub-floor then cut the Lino to fit, you then spray both surfaces with contact adhesive and then you've got one shot at getting it right (get it wrong and you've scrapped that bit and at £60 a square metre it's an expensive mistake)
