Posts like this make me glad I'm retired.

It was when I was told that they were going to bring in outside consultants to do H&S checks the last straw came! I regularly wandered around the building, poking my nose in, looking for things that might be a problem. Not to mention the other guys knew to come to me. So they replaced me with a once a month visit by an outsider who didn't know the technology or the business.

Talking of Graveney, I'm sure there was an old pub that reopened as a cycling café for a while somewhere nearby, maybe 6 or 7 years back. For some reason, the name Wheelers (Freewheelers?) seems to have stuck in my memory. I just did a Google view ride between Faversham to Seasalter and all I could see was the Four Horseshoes. Does any of this mean anything to you?

Edit: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Resta...s_Pub_Cycling_Cafe-Graveney_Kent_England.html It was the best of grub, it was the worst of grub....Definitely a Marmite kind of pub/café....It was called the Freewheel for a short while.

Yes the freewheelers. It was still going about 3 years ago. It held some maintenance classes and cycling jumble sales among other things. It's about a mile before the sportsman you head footrests Whitstable. On the left.

Now you can sit in a boat and drink beer:whistle:

But seriously, hope you enjoy and I wish you tight lines. I really should look out my rod and gear start fishing for mackerel again this summer, haven't done that in several years.
Thanks. Yes been mackrel fishing with a borrowed rod, but no luck yet. New rod is for river fishing, so will be trying it out on the Dee on the Welsh borders for some trout.

Every two weeks a very nice man mows my lawn, but it is a tad too far for him to do yours.
Ours need doing could be a tough decision later either cut the grass or go for a ride ^_^

I was in Next with MrsPete this morning. As she was looking at brassiers, I leant against the stand that, unfortunately, was on wheels.
It moved sideways and all the bras started swinging from side to side in a jaunty fashion..... Gave me a few thoughts, I can tell you! ^_^

Well, apparently it wasn't funny :laugh::laugh:

My university's marking system's gone pop so I've gone for a ride until it's fixed.

Hot, still and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Put away all the de-quarantined shopping this morning. This includes mum's new mop-and-bucket (I hope she doesn't break these ones), several kilos of "OO" pasta flour that I picked up at 15p a kilo on clearance (left over from last year's "weird brands" bonanza - the packaging is all in Italiano) and the large jar of mayonnaise that I got on YS for 88p instead of £2.50 because the label was greasy.

I've sorted out the ingredients for tonight's supper and have somehow managed to eat half a large punnet of raspberries while I was at it. All the pots outside have been watered - the tomato and strawberry plants I bought on Friday have really perked up.

It is almost time for lunch.

And then I'm having some bike time. :becool:
