Didn't sleep well last night. As a result felt rather groggy throughout the day. Ignored 3 phone calls from work as I'm terrible, to the point of useless at saying, "No! I really can't work today". THey left a message, change of shift tomorrow so I've got 3 PM shifts, which means not an early start tomorrow!
Had a nice ride, but some horrible cross winds, [to the point that they were furious!] and occasionally head winds. Head winds I just feel we should embrace and accept as an aid to training!

I went for 6 mile walk this morning before doing shopping for my parents. I then fixed a leaking waste pipe on the bathroom sink for my mother and then cleaned and painted the bottom bracket shell of my Soviet made roadster. When the paint dries I'll be able to fit the new press fit bottom bracket that finally arrived from the Czech Republic. The Sturmey Hub sounds a bit rough. It is a replacement wheel which I bought years ago to replace the bent original and also to upgrade to an alloy rim for better braking.

This is one of the modern sealed Sturmeys which I have no experience of. I'll open it and wash it out and see what's going on. I must research what type of grease they recommend for it. Tempted to try and fit an oil port.

I then took the Rudge out for only it's second ride this year. I didn't go that really as it gets dark early and the headlamp bulb seems to have blown. I have a box of SA type bulbs somewhere but can't remember where I left them. Riding a 28" wheeled roadster on minor rural roads must be one of the best ways to relax

Now back home and relaxing with a bottle of Guinness.

I think I need to clean my glasses.

I'm behind on my marking so am attempting to catch up over this weekend.

However, having read a report for the 3rd time I still don't understand what they've written. The others have been decent so far.

Bed, sleep and have another go tomorrow.

My Garmin etrex now has a new on/off button.

It doesn't look very pretty but it does work.

I will say, scalpel blades are scary.

They're not that bad, when you use them on the handle.

Maybe you need to read it upside down and back to front - but then you might pass out before you've finished, or have a vision. It amounts to the same thing.

[Gravity Aided]

You do now.

Thank goodness. Where I was, there were fireworks going off. My neighborhood, pretty ambivalent, and sorrow up the street in the next two subdivisions, much less diverse and much more Trump. And money, I suppose.

I could show up in a bus and just make it look like he was going to the town center or something and then OOps, we just roll on to Holyhead and the Stena Ferry.

Well, I'm breathing a sigh of relief too.

As a woman, I find "The Donald" rather abhorrent, and that's well before anyone goes anywhere near politics. He is not the sort of man I would want to find myself in a locked room with. Although me being me, he'll be the one who leaves singing soprano...

As a man, I have always found "The Donald " abhorrent. And back a couple of generations as well.

I'm in Hadleigh. Soon, I'll be heading for Harwich.

Although it's dark out, so you probably can't see me.
