Mundane News

People here are more concerned with a French nuclear power station right on the border in a comparatively seismically active region of Europe.

I worked a contract there a long time ago inspecting some stuff for Areva. I borrowed a bike off the manager of the hotel I was staying at and I knew that later in my life I would take a holiday in that region and did.
Edit for extreme clarity.
I was not involved with any of the parts and materials that passed inspection when they should not have.

The nest of baby starlings under our eaves are being really noisy tonight, as are the rooks higher up.

I think you have the weather wot we had yesterday...

Anyways, can I be cheeky and ask you a favour?

Firstly yes I think you are correct. Secondly yes you can ask me a favour.

Two lesons, never ride a bike without bar plugs

I have just such a thing and my only excuse is not yet being happy with the levers position, after only four years. I am wary of coming off it and should dig out some barplugs before I feel that told you so sentence comes to mind.

A piece of pine dowel works very well if you sand it to a chamfer and whack it into the handle.

Let me know if you come on holiday again.

Andy I could lie but I'll just confess instead. I think I have two lots of Cinelli cork tape and plugs somewhere but my general well versed insane behaviour has not allowed me to use anything inside the packaging unless I use the lot.
I have a good idea where I have stored them and really should just be less fernickety about the levers and tape and plug. I should just blame the brifter or bar design and put the tape on.

Cats have been fed, time to feed me - raid the fridge night tonight.

And time to listen to Arsenal v Villareal. Confidence is not high.

I have put some time in trying to find a recipe for a very mixed bag of available candidates and find that prevarication is easily a length in front of hunger. I do hope to eat though.
So after busily lying to myself about what and how and how long I should spend cooking it is to be giant bean and sausage stew.

Voting done, two new Master's degrees approved (I was on the 'presenting' side) and stood in the cold whilst son no. 2 rides with the U14/U16/Junior riders at Leeds circuit. It's a bit but at least it's dry now.
