There is a puncture on the front of my Raleigh Pioneer which I need to fix and I feel tired today so will skip a ride this evening, fix the puncture and relax. The lift still isn't working either and it's hassle carrying a bike up and down two flights of stairs.

I had been out for a walk to the supermarket and done my shopping. I put the milk in the fridge, the tomatoes in the fridge, the yogurt in the fridge, the orange juice in the fridge, the sausages in the fridge and continuing working on autopilot mode, I then tried to put the box of Persil in the fridgeI think I am losing whatever little bit of sense I had

Got the groceries in (including a packet of poppadoms for Poppy) and had supper. Now plan on a quiet evening.

I accidentally left the front of the lid of the aquarium open by an inch after cleaning the glass with the magnetic thingie.
We were sitting watching the tele when heard a soft thud on the carpet. I had a quick look and was greeted by the sight of the Weather Loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, wiggling around the floor 🤣
Quite apt, really, as No 1 grandson named it Wiggle when we bought it.

Anybody know a way of stopping glasses mist up on days like this? Thanks to cold pockets of air on the ride to work, I had to give up with the glasses as they just wouldn't clear.

Still, only one more day of the alarms going off at 05:30 and then a week off work. With any luck my order from Adnams should turn up to keep me company.

Mild soap solution*, although commercial solutions are available. If your glasses are suitable.

*Soap you'd use when getting washed. Washing Up liquid that close to your eyes can lead to problems.

Last sleep in at work tonight, 14 hours of non stop attention from the gentleman I support can be knackering! Looking forward to getting home at 08.00.

I like vegans...but I couldn't eat a whole one

The Wicked Kitchen ones from Tesco are good. Pricey at the full whack, but well worth looking out for on sticker.

Bike I won via eBay yesterday collected. Decent condition but very small - it's a 21" frame but with 26" tyres it makes it much lower than mine. Se

This was a vegan kitchen one from Sainsburys

Anyway, I collected the bike I won yesterday. Decent condition but very small - it's a 21" frame but with 26" tyres it makes it much lower than mine. Seatpost moves, which is good and everything works. Just covered with dirt and dust; it was the seller's father's from new it had been sat for the last 14 years doing nothing. New tyres / cables needed though.
