Grumblin at Garmin on the Granny Gear
New experience at work today: Tübingen has public bike stands with a place to hang the bike and a selection of simple tools on cables, so people can fix things like punctures. Today I went out with a team to maintain them. The stands are built like tanks to make vandalism difficult, but they aren't very well thought through, so every simple repair takes hours.

Fortunately, the team were used to this, so we dealt with the situation using some industrial strength sarcasm and by royally taking the pish out of each other.

Sounds like a good team.

Looks like Shaun may have fixed the posting problem.

A damp and windy day and an early start at 0530 to get the only ferry I could get booked on.
Driving 21 miles in the dark is not fun nowadays and not something I want to repeat anytime soon.
My friendly slug has appeared again at my kitchen sink. Took about a month to get back and flushed away again.
A driech day and it never really got proper daylight before night appeared again.

Bit the bullet and got a new iPad from Argos. Will take a bit of getting used to but this is being written on it. So far so good.
Had to check the date as Oban was heaving with shoppers and had to make sure it was November and not the 29th December.
Homebase is having a closing down sale but that could not make such a massive impact across the whole town.
