Nearly time for the morning ride...

Well that was a close call
Blue sky and sunshine

Apparently, it’s going to be 27 degrees here today. Nice.

 

[biggs682]

First cuppa going down well
Well my Chat with Graham yesterday doesn't look like it's made any difference no reply's on e mails sent pre chat yet
On a brighter note it's Friday

I've just watered all my houseplants.

Morning ride complete. The heavily managed river is still unusually high, but well below the tops of the banks; the cloud is exploring the side valleys and looking lovely in the sunshine.

@Andy in Germany I hope those floods aren't affecting your area! They look really nasty 😔

I think I have figured out why the central locking is playing up on my project Skoda Fabia. It's related to the door microswitch on the driver's door according to Google. Verified by the fact that the interior courtesy light doesn't come on when the door is opened.

Now, where the #@@* is it located? Every other car I have worked on had it on the A post held in with a single screw.

Try locking the door catch with a screwdriver. It could be built into the door lock itself .

Thanks for your thoughts. The flooding is mainly in the eastern side of the Black Forest, and I'm on the west so apart from being a little damp we're generally unaffected.
My family live in a second floor attic on top of a hill near Stuttgart and although it rained very heavily any flooding would be in the valley some 200m below the village: if they're flooded the rest of Germany would have been underwater some time.

Forecast says drizzle and a moderate breeze but so far this has not materialised and will probably just stay overcast all day.
Not that I am going anywhere as have to hang about for a phone consultation. If I go out sods law dictates that the call will be at some inconvenient place.

There were flash floods in the SW of London 3 or 4 days ago though it didn't rain over in the south east - here we just got really menacing clouds. Apparently, the flooding in Europe was caused by the same weather system as it trundled its way over to the continent. From the news it seems that the worst of it is to the north east of you. I'm glad you've not been affected badly.

That's a nice accessible place to put it!

It is ridiculously hot here this morning. 😓

I came back from my pre-breakfast ride dripping sweat and I didn't even feel like putting much effort into it today.
