B*****d unpredictable text ! Look away for a moment and it changes the worm for you .

It was oil that I changed.

I'd have stayed with blaming the predictive text, rather than saying you changed it.

@tyred, anywhere near the boys or Ballyshannon, County Donegal, on Sunday night?

Lexi has brought me a rather sizeable rat.

In more mundane news, I have repaired the broken scratchpost. Picked out the rest of the plastic fitting from the inside of the post with a screwdriver, tapped in a 12 inch length of ash wood as a replacement, secured post with a nail through the old bolt hole in the base, drilled three holes 120 degrees apart through base and into the wood, countersunk the holes and finished off by using three long, sturdy screws to hold the lot together.

It amazes me how few people think of doing things like that.

Back at apartment I'm able to watch YouTube: the server at work blocks it.

Previously I thought this was annoying: now I realise it was for my protection.

Err, I'm a mechanical engineer by training. It's second nature to try and fix something before giving up on it.

Thunder and lightning here

We've had one short, sharp shower, but looks like more heading this way...

My mate's funeral went OK - upsetting as he's just 3 years older than me (ex. clubmate who was very fast). Two young kids.

Went into the Crematorium to SKA music, and something a bit random in the middle (more SKA) then out to the TDF tune.

Had a good chat with his missus. On walking home, we noticed their 'memorial' garden to their Dad hadn't got further than the two pots and a cycling welded weather vane.

Right then - will get onto making a hand made wooden tub, with the cycling clubs initials and his name (probably just use Dad) and I'll get it filled with soil and plants... then drop it off !!

That's the second time in the space of half an hour that I could've sworn that someone was standing behind me with their hand on my shoulder. Except I'm on my own here.

Bizarre.

You mean YOU don't know!

Only just coming down off the buzz of the MTB weekend. There was stuff there I couldn't have done even a year ago - it just needs practice.

The 'Dragons Back' stood out ! Wowsers.

It's important to fit your rack correctly!

I think we should be told.

In other news, today was baking hot. the morning I spent replacing a wire between fence posts in order to dissuade my son's dog from exploring next door. It is always better to put a fence in before the bushes are planted.

I'm tired. I really ought to go to bed.

I'm tired. I really ought to go to bed.

Why?

Just think of all the things you could be doing, if you gave up sleep.
