My feeders have been unusually quiet the last few days, more worrying is my pair of blackbirds seem to have vanished, missing their antics in the bird bath already.Juvenile starlings have taken over my bird feeders

I'll do my best...Try not to spend it all on bacon butties and cake!
Although, if I got rid of another few bikes, the ones I don't ride much / ever, I could invest in an electric bike for my commute.

The thick plottens.
Oh
not that you are thick or anything, it was one of my Father's hexpressions. Have you seen or heard about the G Tech lectric Bike?
I have got one of their cordless vacuum cleaners.

Hmmm. Could I clean the house up by cycling around it, and how does that work for stairs?
I think I'd either get a second-hand one, or a kit of some sort and mount it onto one of my less-used bikes. With the legislation around e-bikes changing regularly, it's probably worth creating some obfuscation about the date of manufacture. That's if I get one at all. I'm really trying to reduce the fleet, so getting another bike is a less-than-obvious way of achieving that!

To do the stairs, you make sure that you are behind Chris Froome.

Alligator, the eyes are placed abeam on the head, not topside as with the crocodile.

Do I make a start on the 2 custom-request tea cosies I took an order for yesterday or do I clean and start to dismantle my bike in readiness for its shiny new derailleur? Third option is to play Word Battle for half an hour....

Not much sun today but a lot of wind so 1st lot of washing is in and the second lot on the line. I also removed tatty bits of wet tissue, nothing had pockets

Thats another ride completed with a liberal dose of rule 9, I'll be glad when this blustery wind dies down. Now whilst I enjoyed the fast and easy wind assisted ride out to Wistow the ride home was not fun, just slow and plain hard graft. Thats 60 miles covered and another hard ride done.

+1 for fitting a kit to the front wheel of a favourite bike, rigid steel MTB would be my choice.Beware of second-hand, people are often selling them because they are so unfeasibly heavy. The best ones I have seen are front-wheel conversions on someone's favourite old bike - that's kept several people I know cycling when age or ill-health was making it increasingly difficult (not just laziness).
