Morning.
I can see some blue sky and clouds from where I'm sat at the moment . I'm slowly drinking my coffee.
It might be nice having an extra hour in bed. We might have set the clocks back an hour but I didn't do it to my brain !
It woke me up at the usual time and I have been laying in bed waiting for the alarm to go off !

I was wondering if you could get away with just bolting a new hanger in place .

Tried. It looks like it might work and we've got it working with all gears now but a conversation with my 16yo over safety has reversed my decision to try.

We had delayed after effects a week later !

That's what I'm getting - constant repeating cold's for the past 2 weeks.

It could be a wise decision as the punishment it will take will be different to a casual ride . Perhaps try it out under different conditions and see how it lasts .

Mike Brewer just said that a car that he was looking at was a cult car .
I didn't think that it was too bad really !

One little piece of good news at the end of 10 consecutive working days was that Lidl had plenty of their cheap coffee available. My home stocks have been suitably topped up.

Yes, but is it any good?

Just went for a shortish bike ride around some new local roads, now I'm back, the sun is streaming through the window and it's still only 10:20...

Would a new hanger not bring the bike back into use once a new mech is fitted ? - Thats assuming the hanger wraps round enough ?

Good luck for today either way for both of you.

Bit blowy and blustery here this morning with some heavy showers thrown in. A nice six mile walk has left me feeling alive and refreshed. Pleased that I took my umbrella as some heavy showers.

Now have some bacon, sausages, black and white pudding in the grill

up and out early then.

We just missed a heavy shower. Need to give the cars a wash and a general leaf tidy. Think the BLT's can wait for 'lunch'.

I tend to waken at about 6 every morning.

I will probably fit in a ride a bit later but I find this stupid travel restriction has made cycling a bit boring hence the long walk this morning. The main thing I want to do today is to raise my computer desk as it's too low to be properly comfortable for me. Back in March I did not expect to be still working at home and I'm likely to be at home until March at the earliest.

Forgot to re-set the cat. She woke me before early, as in; "What the frell you want?"

Found a waterproof jacket on eBay for a good price, persuaded Sister that it would make an ideal Christmas present. Well chuffed.
Going in to work early, [at their request]. As due to lockdown restrictions people have gone online shopping crazy again.

I'm after a new flat cap. It has to have blue in the pattern. Which if any do you think is the best? 🤔Ignore the price,just concentrate on the colour/pattern!
