Would that have been been on the night of the big roll?

Nah it wasn't that bad (no significant injuries or Ambulances waiting) but it was a 'Quartering sea', like I said I spent the crossing in the bar/lounge and me and the fella I was nattering with had to hang on to the bar rail at times (and not just to the Guinness)

Is your wife called Doris? Who'd have guessed.

Apart from Doris my excitement for the day (well evening), was watching and helping someone true a wheel.... I've never tried before.... I was making it better apparently, though he then spent another 15 plus minutes making it even better!

Truing a wheel is really very satisfying when you work it out. I learned to do my own, then a bloke at work complained about the 'wobbly wheel' on his bso. Next day I brought in my universal spoke spanner, flipped his bike, pushed the brake block up to the high spot, then tinkered and in a minute or so I had a true wheel, much to his delight. The down side is the following day I had three more wheels to do. I only managed one, the other two were properly bent.

I have just watched a video of my great niece performing her A level music piece. I always knew she had talent but bloody hell that was brilliant.

Sorry I can't post it, but there are sad stalkers about. I know you might say I'm biased, but she is genuinely good. Fortunately she is more interested in musical theatre than being a pop star, so now we have to make sure she takes her talent through professional training and gets good representation, and she doesn't think that a tv talent show is a quick route to success.

I am awaiting a winter storm the weather channel has named Quid. I do not understand who gave them the authority to go thinking up odd names for winter storms, but they act quite official about it.

I hope we don't get pounded by Quid.

Well we got beaten by Doris.

It is a little bit fresh out here

Doris was in a bit of a mood yesterday knocking over our potted Christmas tree, bird table and garden furniture.

It is a little bit fresh out here

Chilly bright and sunny in Coventry, and still a little breezy. Yesterday I drove to Hatton locks instead of cycling, lots of debris on the road and a car that was moving round a little in the breeze, this morning it would appear that all fences are intact.

Have fun!


Ouchy! You have found out the hard way but as you say, you will have to find some alternative footwear for working in the garden.


I think I'd better do start the garden jobs today, before Doris hits it.

I suggest you'd have done better to wait to see what she's left you! Walking along the towpath yesterday all the berries had come off the bushes..

Ooooh! The Pogs have been busy in the frond.
