Workshop is flooded out, had to clear out the drains & put a pump down the manhole & pump that out onto the road to stop the garage flooding.

As is half my garage. Bought a pump, but didn't realise garden hose wouldn't fit. Shopping trip.

Fitted front derailleur and bar end shifters to new recumbent. Tightened up lacing on mesh seat. Awaiting brakes and a BB before I can do more of the build.

Went to collect Beautiful Daughter from children's club.

Got wet.

Tomorrow's CX race is going to be interesting for my kids. Thinking of packing flippers and snorkel each.

I posted a copy of the 1970's poster Tennis Girl Scratching Bum to a newly-single friend in Scotland.

Will they be using SPD flippers?

What's that done?

Botheration... I don't suppose any managed to fall off the back of the lorry then...

One or two more packs than strictly necessary for formal analysis may have been removed* - it's amazing how 200g of jelly sweets can make you so popular in the office

*They were signed for and justified in my report, just don't tell anyone that the report was slightly economical with the truth!

I have "Miltoned" my coffee mug.

Annual?

Don't wish to upset the Cambridgeshire correspondent(s), but I could have done without being stuck at Ely station for 2 hours this aftrenoon due to the Nottingham train running late and Greater Anglia (most unusually) running on time. I've submitted a delay/repay claim which could be for the whole of the ticket price.

And I've just had notification that this has been approved and the full £17.90 has been refunded.

My tube of brown acrylic paint has dried out.

It's not one of the old style Daler-Rowney System 3 tubes is it? They are a PITA for drying out, as the caps were prone to breaking. They've now switched to flip-top tubes.

They had a job lot of the old style tubes on clearance in my local art shop, but I've declined to buy any.
