Time for an early lunch break. Off on the bike I go.

 

[Reynard]

Warm, sunny and only slightly breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

This morning, I have done a load of laundry, tidied away a few things, and puttered about in the garden. I will shortly be having some lunch. Well, that might have to wait as I have a very purry Poppycat on my lap.

After lunch, I will need to hang out the laundry, prep the cauliflower for tonight and then there may be some bicycle tinkering on the agenda.

Oh, and as promised...

What a glorious day

I've just remembered something that woke me from a dozing state last night. The World Service was playing in the background and they were covering the California fires. The reporter said that the authorities were ''scrambling to fly in fire engines'' but he failed to run ''fly in'' together so that I was left thinking that surely they must have figured out by now that fire engines were spectacularly badly adapted for flying in.

Other than flinging supper together (bbq chicken wings, cauliflower cheese and a jacket spud), I'm done for the day, so sitting down with a nice and a chunk of toblerone.

Had a nice bit of tinker time with the bike build; grips are on, shifter & brake pods are where they should be (I was only a couple of mm out after taking the measurements off the hybrid) and I've finished the cabling.

Five bicycle chains arrived today. Recumbent will be due new chain before winter. So I have enough for this change and the next.

Now enjoying a second pint for dessert while overlooking Croagh Patrick.

The downside of not having booked a table is being booted out to the smoking area to eat.

On the plus side, for once I got served by the attractive waitress

Are you normally served by ugly ones ?

 

[Reynard]

Cats fed. Almost time to feed me. I has a hungry.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Eating the crumbly flapjack and drinking tea. Once you realise the flapjack is essentially cereal without milk and use a spoon it works quite well.

IN addition to the above events, I have just noticed that I need a shave.

Grumman do a good version of one though.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Bag packed, breakfast things prepared; time for bed.

See you all tomorrow...
