I'm watching Hercule Poirot Death on the Nile and noticed that they are sailing on a strange boat.
When the close up shot of Poirot asking questions the background shows that the boat is sailing along at a steady pace . When the camera switches to the person answering the questions the background is still ! The boat must have hit something and is collapsing under the impact !

I’ve been out looking at bikes in shops today. I have cooked and eaten the evening meal, just had a cuppa and a Chunky KitKat *.

*I’m beginning to think that the Chunky KitKat is not much bigger than a single finger of a normal bar.

Having a nice quiet evening by the fire and listening to the football on the radio.

Do you speak football does it have anything good to say

Nothing good to say if one doesn't like Spurs...

Anyway, game is finished, so might see if there's anything of interest on the i-player.

Caught up on a few episodes of Antiques Road Trip. Yeah, I know...

Managed to finally get "The Laurel and the Rose" to where I want it to be and am now sitting down with a and working on a new poem.

A few lines popped into my head while I was drifting off to sleep last night, and as they felt like something I could work with, I scribbled them down on a handy envelope. I now have two verses down pat, but now I need to think about where I'm going with this.

Writing poetry is this weird mixture of inspiration and frustration...

Jerusalem Artichokes last night. They’re not from Jerusalem and they’re not Artichokes and I’m not having them again. ‘Nuff said.

I have been crawling around jacking up my car,removing the wheels and then changing the pads . I'm glad they decided to stop using silly bolts to hold wheels on . My wheels are big and heavy and I would hate to think what a struggle it would be if they were bolts.
I will try the brakes out tomorrow.
I have pumped them up so there won't be a panic as I first try them out .
I had a nice hot bath to celebrate .

My car has bolts, a Suzuki Swift, I prefer studs and wheel nuts.

Gear cable on the Xtracycle has frozen, again.

This is a fairly regular occurence as the cable is nearly a metre long and low on the frame where it'll get splattered with water, so the stuff does get in, and then when I'm riding in -2°c like today it freezes.

The only solution I've found is to make sure the cable is well over length so I can clip the nipple off, hoik it out and flush the outer cable with WD40.

Open the windows for a bit and you'll be fine.

No bolts? Scary.. What holds them on? A dab of glue? Willpower? Screws?
My Jazz has bolts.
