I thought this was supposed to be cycling, not skittles...

I haven't seen that but I just heard that Laura Kenny was down in 9th position before the final event. Husband Jason, on the other hand, was spectacular!

A credenza is a type of sideboard.

I thought it was a Vauxhall !

Morning .
Just caught up !
It is tipping down here .
Good job it wasn't like this yesterday morning when we set up our gazebo at the dog show . We had a charity tent for our museum making badges and fridge magnets for kiddies. There were quite a few dogs of all different shapes and sizes! I'm not a doggy person but it was interesting to see different varieties .

Empathy ?

We now have to empathy our car after yesterday's event !

We had to pack our gazebo away in the rain yesterday so we will have to unpack it and dry it before putting it away again .
No chance of that today .

@Fab Foodie of this parish mentioned Putanesca pasta a whole decade ago. I didn't discover it until last Monday and used this recipe.....

If you don't have some kind of aversion to anchovies, olives or capers, this is the dish for you. It's tasty, tasty, very, very tasty...




Edit: it seems to have been so good that it struck me down with amnesia. I already posted about it a few days ago.

Apologies.

You can never have too many posts about ‘the little whore’....

Have given my Brompton some much needed TLC this afternoon - new chain, new tyre, greased and adjusted headset, new brake pads all round. I also stripped and greased the jockey wheels in the tensioner, lubed the hinges and clamp bolts and gave it a much needed clean.

I celebrated with a thirty mile ride

Would you mind doing my 6 speed? The wheels need tensioning...and the hub may need some internal attention as well :-/

A very old Vauxhall.

Does Skin so Soft work, I remember reading about it in one man and his bike..

I think there has been a change in the formula and recent reports suggest it is not as effective. I have a supply of the original. Mixed reports and it seems to work for some people but not others.

I think it's knackered and you need to buy a new one.

I do offer a Brompton disposal service so am happy to help you dispose of the old one

Why not combine the two?
