I have a set of headset spacers ordered on Amazon Prime on Wednesday that are doing a tour of GB.

Initially sent to Glasgow, then to Weybridge in Surrey, now apparently in Peterborough so May get to see them today.

Do you think that people in the main offices are doing dot to dot pictures ?

The optician's has just phoned to postpone my appointment for next Friday. Made me realised I am pissed off as well as bored.

"Hello, I am calling you from the Telephone Preference Management Service of the United Kingdom government and I am calling you to see if you are receiving nuisance calls' (caller with non-native accent)

"You are very faint" (me)

Repeat at same volume.

"Yes, and this is one of the very nuisance calls that I do not wish to receive. Is that clear?"

"Brrrr...."

Result!

Pakistan now 8 down, Plus one of their batsmen retired hurt and needs to man-up.

All the same, they appear to be in the process of giving England a good humping. At Lords too! What a cheek!

I have this small fly in my lounge under the ceiling rose. It appears to be flying triangular circuits. They always seem to do that. Why? Surely it’s easier to fly gentle curves and circles than do a handbrake-turn every couple of seconds?

Ok. It appears I may have been a little harsh as it appears he has broken his wrist.

Mind you. The Black Knight would have shaken that off with “‘tis but a scratch”.

Bought some headset spacers from Richardson’s in St Ives this morning.

Arrived home to a tracking update from Amazon to say my spacers will actually arrive today.

Also bought a 32 tpi hacksaw blade to cut the fork steerer.

Ice Cream Soda IS AMAZING

I think the first I had was in Heacham when this was a sweetshop.

I had one of them when I answered my mother's phone a year or so ago. I was rather more explicitly expletive...

Sweatshops in Heacham? What is the world coming to? I blame Brexit.

I just clicked into Mundane news and the lap top went into a random reboot. Maybe it objected to French cycling terms.

Mind, they did make us work after our evening meal and Saturday mornings.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Any lightning?

Yes. I also got 1/4" of rain, pretty good for this time of the year.
