My mobile is now possible the cleanest it's been since it came out of the box and first connected to any network.

It's been in the washer, along with the clothes.
 
Reynard, you has said earlier you were writing a 'novel' which is fiction, but are you actually writing an expose?

If that includes basing a character around some dirty washing that's been left to moulder in the cupboard since the late 1980s and desperately needs airing, then yes. The *actual* driver in question denies it (to admit it would totally screw his reputation), but I have the same story and background info from multiple (and very reliable) sources. And I'm also taking the opportunity to use an ex of mine (another well-known driver) as the basis for another character. Put it this way, motor racing is full of very interesting and yet very unpleasant people.

You know what they say. Do not annoy a writer, for she will put you in a book and kill you. :laugh:

Both characters will get their come-uppance, but in very different ways. And no, I don't kill them, as that would be far too unsatisfying.

So, not a 'novel' in the sense of a fictional story but a 'spill the dirt' book?

Houston we have a problem. I've just been preparing the food & drink for Sunday's day out and there's only enough coffee* to make about one mug's worth and my flask takes about three mugs worth. This is what happens when you forget the shopping list and only pick up the known usual bits.

*Instant Nescafe. There's always a spare pack of filter coffee for home consumption in the cupboard.

My 13 USD Raleigh Detour 4.0 is almost up to scratch, although after changing the chain, I now need to change the rear cluster. Luckily, the cassette came off with the tools I had on hand. Have to go and visit the mayor/bike shop owner and see what is available in 11-32t. If not, then I will see what Mr. Bezos has on hand.
