This includes mum's new mop-and-bucket (I hope she doesn't break these ones),

I hope you took the cost out of her wages.

Home from a visit to the HEALTH CENTRE.

Woke up Saturday with a sore leg, Sunday, driving was unpleasant, Monday, wife & daughter insisted I ting the doctor, who told me to come in to have it checked. Prescription of blood thinners, then scan today, which showed no clot. While I was on the premises they grabbed me for blood pressure and while they were at it took an armful.

I'll have to avoid that place for another 5 years.

Wife decided she wanted lunch in town.

My leg still hurts, any volunteers to cut my lawns?

Nope, all childlock buttons set correctly, unless it's the wiring to the armrest switch.

Are both sides not working ?
They are usually sided .

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

Sound an eminently sensible use of the down time.

I had a 2009 Jazz and it was one button which stopped both children misbehaving in the back. I think it also disabled the front passenger side button.

Had a very nice lunch of a chicken & avocado sandwich, an orange, some more of those raspberries and two

I'm letting that tamp down a little, and then it's off for some bike time. Haven't yet decided whether to take the MTB and head off to Adventurer's Drove or to take the hybrid and tootle off to Coveney and come back via Ely.

Popped out at lunch for 16 miles off road. Tracks and trails have dried out nicely, and the old MTB is mainly dusty. I'm getting an annoying 'tinkle' type click every pedal rotation. New BB fitted weeks ago, crankset off and cleaned/retightened, cassette done, pedals done and saddle rails regreased. Still doing it today.

Took cranks off earlier and decided to see if the new BB was tight. Undid the non-drive side slightly, and managed a good half turn on the drive side - ah, hope that's it. The new Shimano cartridge BB's have a longer thread. Fingers crossed for the next ride.

They are usually sided .

One fuse per (4) window, but one press button to lock and isolate all but the drivers' controls and another button to turn off the rear windows.

Today is new door day. Allegedly. The old new door day was a couple of weeks ago but the locks didn't arrive, then they were going to transfer the old locks to the new door and then they realised that they wouldn't fit. Then they needed to reroute the phone and internet wiring in preparation for the new door. This resulted in someone drilling into the water main which flooded out here, the flats below and brought the hallway ceiling down, inside and out.

So it's tea and trepidation for me.....

Who's doing the work? Laurel and Hardy? Or the Three Stooges?

The electrician drilled the hole in the water main and the gas man did the plumbing, the workers installing the doors set off the fire alarms twice, the guy helping the electrician aqua-vacced the flat and stuck the gunge in the kitchen sink so the foreman had to unblock the sink. Life in Lewishambles....

Apparently I need to escalate an issue to someone who hasn't bothered to do anything about the issue that he has been e mailed about already

I do love dealing with some companies

Chicken marinating nicely in the fridge
Once BBQ'd later will be joining a fairly lethal curry sauce

Every two weeks a very nice man mows my lawn, but it is a tad too far for him to do yours.

I can't help feeling it would be easier for him to come to me rather than me bring the lawn to him, c'mon Wol, think it through.

Opted for an afternoon in the company of Max the MTB. Rode out along Downham Hythe and Adventurer's Drove, then via Oxlode to Wardy Hill along the Hundred Foot. Sat in the sun for a bit, then rode home via Pymoor. I think it's about 14 miles all told, half of that on tarmac, the rest on gravel and dirt.

Now sat down with a and a couple of chocolate biskits.

Anyways, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
