Turbo training/Zwift didn't go to plan last night. Took laptop into garage, laptop fan made funny noise and refused to boot. Been having issues with one of the screen hinges and it's squeezed the fan casing.
Had to strip laptop, try and free hinge, but found the hinge had pulled away from the case. Get dressed, quick google shows it's a common fault, and epoxy is your friend. Off out, got epoxy, glued, started re-assembling. Switched on and noticed liquid stain within screen (spray lube had leaked from the hinge) ARGH.
Pulled screen to bits, and found that they are made up of around 6 layers of various reflective plastic sheets, with the last sheet being clear polycarbonate. This had stained and couldn't be cleaned. Instead of getting a complete new screen (about £80), I've ordered a pre-cut piece off the internet to see if this fixes it (£12 delivered), as the stained area appears much brighter on screen.
So that was last night wasted. Wouldn't mind much but it was an expensive laptop a few years ago, and it's still frighteningly fast.

My daughter rang earlier to ask if I wanted to go for a ride . I had one already planned. So I have been up to sort her bike out and try to figure out how the bike trailer fits on . I figured out that there was a bit missing ! How did I know it was fitted to another bike .
I have decided that it would be easier to let her have one of my bikes than to give hers a full service.
Part fitted to my bike, I'll give it a check over before popping it back to her .

You know, Daws Butler, who voiced Mr. Jinks, was doing a Marlon Brando impression the whole time.
MrsPete has informed me that she doesn't like Black Pudding!
Happily, that means I get all 4 'rounds'
