Back from town. Paid in the cash I got for the bike sale at the bank and then had a successful shopping run. No queues, everything in stock and I've got ahead of the second wave of the bog roll pandemic with a pack of something koala based.

I think a proper bike ride is called for.

These koala-based bog rolls, can you flush them or are they reusable?

 

[Gravity Aided]

I thought money from bike sales was to be spent on upgrades or N+1, not wasted on koala bog roll and luxuries like food.

I hope the operation goes well.

I hope the operation goes well.

Thank you, I'm hopeful all goes well. I want to thank @Reynard and @deptfordmarmoset and everyone else in Cyclechat for all the good thoughts, Maximilian has good vets and a hopeful prognosis, considering his age. He had a rough start in life, but under the very strict guidance of Sophia (late of this parish) he became a very fine fellow indeed.

It's here, and has been for most of the morning. At least I don't need to water the veg.

The change in temperature has really changed the curing time for the varnish I'm using. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to sand it down ready for the final coat on the "working" surface - I applied the most recent coat yesterday morning! Then I'll need to sand down the back and give that a coat or two as well. This piece of plywood is a bit on the splintery side, so the varnish will keep that under control.

It is almost lunchtime. I am hungry.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Metal"

Do you reckon I might have a screw loose?

Several I'd think

I've been to Screwfix (it's not a dating site!) to pick up my new extension lead.

That’s why I can’t find a bit on the side then.

Several I'd think

Just as I thought...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Thinking about it, I couldn't have picked better weather for doing my back in. Not once have I felt in need of a cold shower in a wind tunnel.

Building rarely benefits the cyclist. But a new housing estate in a village not far from here, means a new access road to a trunk road has appeared. It’s within 50 metres of a nice quiet lane on the other side. The trunk road has a new filter lane within 10 metres. Nice lane will now make for a pleasant ride without a mad dash along a trunk road to get back to nice lanes.

It is raining again.

I have succumbed to snuggling with a fleece throw while working on my poem. I now have four verses that are behaving (more or less).
