My domestic godliness quotient has hit 11 as I managed to fix MrsPete's steam mop.
A few judicious taps on the pipes and a run through with some de-scaler (after I'd used it for the coffee machine, obvs!) and it's working again!!

When you put the coffee maker on (Dolce Gusto) make sure you put a cup under it. Fortunately the drip tray cought some, but not all ! Doh.

Took daughter to the GP's this morning - she's been complaining she has sciatica. GP confirmed at last as she can't fully bend her leg. Referral to physio done. We have suggested, many times, it might because she's not doing much exercise, and sits in front of her computer all the time. Oh no, it was getting out of the shower 
I even suggested she needs to move more. Nope, fell on deaf ears.
Weather isn't good again. Looked like it was brightening up earlier, but it's mizzling now. Job for the day, sort out the panniers so the bottom catch doesn't keep popping off the rack when off road - need to sort it as I'm on leave and my first day back, I'll be riding to the office

Been there and done that, albeit on different issues. Thing is I can remember being just as bad back in the day, and I'm probably only marginally better now.

She used to love riding her bike, but she's 18 now. Currently dragging her feet about learning to drive, but expects dad's taxi to take her to and from her boyfriends house (next village - but he's the same with his parents). They 'could' walk and meet at McDonalds half way - oh noo.
Kids eh. We keep reminding her she's now an 'ADULT'.

yesterday I finally made it thru all the work emails that built up after taking 3 days off last week. got 2 more days to take off this week. should be fun when I get back. to quote Carroll O'Connor's character (Marty O'Reilly) in the romcom Return to Me: "I'm blessed to have work"

Is it as bad as you thought it might be? (Work, that is, not Romcom...)

Grey day but not raining. Been overdoing the exercise so having a rest day.
When I were a lad we used to go off cycling for a couple of weeks with no contact home apart from a postcard sometimes. Now mobile phones chase you everywhere. Got a call from my local surgery that they want even more blood to test for something or other. Different GP again with different ideas and not looking properly at my computerised record. Next week’s excitement.

I often feel like that but unfortunately have become too dependent on the thing. Obviously nothing to do with work but I need to keep in touch sometimes due to failing health.

I met Jim Belushi (also in that film) once, long, long ago. A truly nice guy.

Grey, cool and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.
I have processed two kilos of oranges this morning. Those can soak in their pan of water until tomorrow, and then they, and the limes, will be cooked. I have to do limes separately, as the peel, being more leathery, takes twice as long to cook as orange peel.
And if your peel isn't tender when you add the sugar, you will end up with a very chewy marmalade.
Hopefully I'll be more successful with the auction for the 1988 British GP programme I have my eye on. It comes together with the race card. Most sellers have taken to selling / auctioning the programme and racecard separately. And asking more, inevitably.
Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon.
