It might be to late though. 4 days old. Game over man game over.

You'll be fine as long as they've not developed language skills.

I'm alive. Not sure about ravioli - they still keep silent.

I was drinking Coca Cola while eating. Treats everything.

Right, I'm tootling off to Tesco for a spot of yellow stickering.

I thought you said you were going to put something in the valve cap, to cause the "leak"?

Sshhh...

 

[Illaveago]

I think I may have just cooked my oven chips to perfection and beyond !

@dave r @Illaveago.

All very well showing your support now when the damage has been done and its in the oven.

Where were you guys when it mattered?

 

[Speicher]

Of course you are I have sewing and yarn-y type materials as well as art stuff. And a good supply of chocolate.



Condensed soup is something you won't find in my cupboards - I prefer to make sauces from scratch.

Chocolate and knitting? Who could refuse?

I don't expect you to have any condensed soup in your cupboards, but it was on the list of ingredients from @Salty seadog.

Well it made the cut..... Let down with a little water.

Placed order with Rose Bikes in Germany.
Parcel arrived in the UK less than 48hours later.
DHL haven't managed to shift it to my house in 3 days!

It's nice that it's getting out and about on scenic tours of the North though, don't you think?

 

[Illaveago]

I hope they haven't lost it like Oops did with mine !
That did a similar sort of journey .

Sshhh...

The deed is done, albeit by alternate means...

Yes, but I might need that trick again...

Day

Off to Silverstone for the Walter Hayes Trophy in a few minutes - the weather forecast isn't favourable with loads of wind & rain to come.

First of the rain stared as I got to the outskirts of Wellingborough and then tipped it down until around 10:30, after which it was just cold & windy. Some good racing despite the conditions, and just about to have a beer or two when the F1 qualifying starts.

Premier Inn wi-fi is useless - it's quicker to use my phone as a hotspot for the Chromebook!

When your employer pays your wages through an independant accountancy firm (or smth like that) it's a proper rip-off for a poor employee. I was really shocked how much money I lost.

Lesson learnt, looking for another job.

I finished moving all the components from my old winter fixed wheel over to the spare Raleigh Pioneer frame I had and ventured for a 15 mile test ride and really pleased with the outcome. The other frame was always too long in top tube length for me to be truely comfortable. Just a few minor tweaks to complete next weekend before pressing it into service.

I want to get back into riding fixed again. The Pioneer suits my needs as it is more practical as a utility bike than a road bike, has acres of space for wider tyres for the often poorly surfaced minor roads I normally ride on and I also fancy a tour on fixed at some point and the Pioneer is a very practical frame. It also rides very nicely.
