Cut the grass this afternoon. Managed to get what needed doing done despite it spitting with rain.

I then took the MTB out for a test ride to see what was what. The one time I go out without a toolkit... :whistle: I had to walk a mile and a bit home. :blush: But on the flip side, I'm a couple of kilos of onions to the good after finding some in the verge. ^_^

Now having a :cuppa: and a chocolate biskit.
You have reported your find I'm assuming?

Technically, yes.

But when a trailer holds at least 10 tonnes of onions, is a farmer going to worry about the ones that roll off the top and into the nettles by the side of the road? :scratch:
Yes, as someone who has had to pick up what was on the verge. A one mile walk, picking up what fell off is "fun".

Counts as travelling with an unsafe load.

Quite a productive morning today. Popped into town and posted a parcel, then got a little bit of cash out of the bank and did this week's shopping. Got home, had a mug of coffee and then moved the lawn (or what remains of it).

Another short break and a glass of squash while deciding whether to do the vacuuming or wash & polish the car. Decision made, I got the bike out and went for a ride instead (this may have included a stop for a couple of drinks at the Levington Ship while watching the world go by).

Hardly... :laugh:

I tightened the elastic at the bottom of my waterproof and lobbed the onions down the front. :angel:
Done it more than once. Because I couldn't drive I was the perfect choice. Along with opening/closing the gates.

You don't carry a plastic bag just in case?

I'll have to own up to picking up three crates(shop size) of oranges I found on the road. My defence being that I was removing them from the road, safety reasons.

Usually, yes. I keep carrier bags in the panniers on my hybrid specifically for such purposes. Plus there's plenty of good foraging in the hedgerows hereabouts late summer and into the autumn, so a girl's gotta be prepared. :smile:

But I was on the mountain bike - only intended to take it out for a quick spin to see how it rode.

Where did you move the lawn to? :laugh:
