Ouch hope the bruises are ok today . Roadside repair is to find a branch and push that into pedal hole and use that seen it done a few times

Ooh! Another whittling project! I had my Swiss Army knife with me to tighten up the screw holding the front gear changer.
That is a good idea but sadly my handlebars had come loose and were useless at steering . I almost crashed again as I tried to pedal using one leg .

Just got a call from the future boss: Start of work is postponed one month, but I still have a job. Now I need to make sure I still have an apartment...

I asked about the holiday, boss says he chose the wrong time to go to the USA...

Landlady says they can wait a month. They're only renting the apartment to me as I'm a friend of their son in law, so they wouldn't have put it on the market anyway after some previous tenants changed the locks and trashed the place...

This means I'm set, just need to get the work contract through, signed and returned. Then I can sign for the apartment, and we're good to go.

My 'smart' TV has just had a software update. As it already has a habit of switching itself on or off at will and ignoring the remote, I wonder what new insubordination they've just added to it.

Do other peeps have problems with traffic lights ?
I have a set at a tunnel under the railway which don't seem to recognise cyclists. I usually have to wait for a motorist to come along to trigger them . Yesterday I went via a different route as with the shut down I could have been waiting there all day .

@Reynard - Do you have a recipe in your repertoire for soda bread made using yoghurt instead of lemons? I think I have used the lemon juice to sour the milk, so as to not to need yeast. Do you know what I mean?

 

[Speicher]

Oh I thought it would be more difficult to find such a resopy.
