You're spoiling that woman.

For the second morning running @Hill Wimp is using my freebie Eurotunnel stainless steel flask.
This time without the instructions inside it....

I couldn't find a way to get my rucksack to sit properly on the rack. That was my original plan but ended up putting it on my back.

Somewhere in the depths of my dungeon I have some Carradice loops which I intend to fit to the saddle - or an excuse to buy another Brooks!

The T bag is the one which interests me though.

Just loaded mine for a working trip in that London :-)

In Skibbereen now after possibly the slowest 15km bike ride in history but I did detour down every side road and laneway that I seen along the wày.

I've really fallen in love with my Brompton

That sounds like a great tour you're doing, loverly area. It's funny how you have certain memories of places, it always sticks in my mind driving along that coast heading for Rosslare early one morning when a seagull smashed against my windscreen, white feathers everywhere.
BTW can't wait to see some pictures!

Oops, I hit a pigeon at about 80mph a couple of years ago, the cloud of feathers was quite a thing. It was no fun picking bits of the poor thing out of the radiator grill which is now cracked.

Don't you mean 70MPH.

Nope......at 70 I might have missed it....




Edit to reasure that this is a tongue in cheek post before I get pelters for it....

I remember some years ago there was a pheasent sat in the outside lane of the M40, everybody was dropping into the middle lane to miss it, I've always wondered if everybody missed it, or did someone hit it eventually.

Good morning folks.

My sore throat is getting better, I managed to get some sleep, though I do have a muvver of a headache this morning.

Tea! That's the answer.

Thats a sad end for a noble beast, my Getz seriously failed its MOT this morning, I'm looking to scrap it.

It looks as though they really went to town on it. It is sad if it has done many years of loyal service.

Car ain't worth much more than five hundred quid, the quote I was given for that lot was over eight hundred quid, there's no way I'm spending that much on a car worth five hundred quid, I haven't even got that much money.

It is a shame. It is repairable, but not at garage hourly rates .

(I thought everyone did about 80)

Reminds me of a time when Pam (my ex) and I were going up the M1 in her Peugeot 205 and went through some roadworks with heavy traffic that slowed everyone down to around 25mph then slowly sped up after the contraflow bit until we cleared the works and went back up to an 80 odd cruise as usual. After a bit she said to me " Is the car making a bit of a funny noise" now I'd serviced the car in the week before as we were going on holiday up to Scotland for a fortnights 'touring/camping so I was a bit worried. I turned the cassette down for a bit to listen then turned it back up again and told her "You might be better putting it back into top (5th) gear instead of 3rd".

Your ischial tuberosities are your sit bones. Your gluteus maximus are your buttocks.

I sit corrected this morning. It appears I don't know my gluteus maximus from my cubitus.
