Mundane News

[Reynard]

In moderately less mundane news, I hung around after work today and made a ramp for the step outside my apartment so I don't have to keep lifting the loaded bike up it.

Now I'm trying to work out how to get said ramp from the workshop to the apartment where it can actually be useful, using my bike.

The ramp is is about 1 metre (3'3 5/8") long, and now I'm officially German I obviously had to over engineer the thing. It probably weighs four kilos (or several bags of sugar).

I really need to get my backside into gear and bring my longtail cargo bike to Freiburg...

You mean you didn't take disassembly, transportation and reassembly into account when building the thing?

You have pot plants!!

I have a spider plant in a pot. And some cacti and succulents, also in pots.

At no time ever did I imply that I had a pot plant in a pot.

Anyway, I'm about to pull a bread out of the oven.

I had an All Together last week but I can't for the life of me remember which brewery it came out of, there are simply too many of them.

I passed a burnt out brewery while cycling on the weekend: it's clearly been that way for some time. Ironically, there's now a brand new fire station across the road...

Forgot the sun cream for my ride yesterday. Didn’t realise until I was half way round an 85km loop. You could fry an egg on my face today. My knees are glowing. Ouch.

It's a fine, sunny morning out there. Still cool but it looks like it's going to be a very warm one.

Cold grey and breezy. Looks like rain.
Just like nearly every other day this "summer".
No need for sun cream round here. Don't forget the rain jacket.

Except for those the other side of the split in the weather.

Are you actually two people?

I only ask because you started your post in first-person, then for your second sentence you changed to the third-person, and then back to first-person for the remainder of your post.

I make that three people .

Why don’t you use an aggregator site like Compare The Market or Money Supermarket?

Car insurance can generally be done online without the need to speak to anyone nowadays.

We had two existing policies but had to change them because of the newer car . The online service was appalling and was supposed to be a phone line service . We did check up as to what other insurance companies were offering but some policies charge for ending a policy. One of ours charges £50.
After being frustrated by the one which was getting us nowhere, the one where we could speak to someone gave us what we wanted in a very short space on time and with a bit of humour .
It was a complicated matter which just filling in forms doesn't take into account .
