Had a very pleasant 18 mile ride earlier then jumped in the car to drop off some home made soup to my daughter. They`re all still recovering from the dreaded covid and the Grandson has been the most poorly today.
Had a windows update yesterday that took forever and in the middle of reading the posts here I had to do another restart for another update!!!

Serious rain has started and my strimmer still would not start. As a last resort had a look at the manual which came with it many years ago.
It says do not use 2stroke oil for 2stroke water cooled outboard motors. I have a gallon or so of the stuff so naturally I used it. Still think it is probably a blocked jet in the carb as it did fire a couple of times but then cut out immediately. Need to get the spanners out next.
Not seen many touring cyclists this year and only a couple on Bromptons who were not touring on them but had some other base.
Yesterday a touring Brommie came past as I was out doing my chores. Did not look like a regular cyclist somehow tho' he had a large front bag and a smaller bag behind but not enough to be camping.. Elderly and the saddle seemed too low and somehow his general get up did not seem to shout "cyclist".
Who am I to judge anyway?

The free standing ones tend to be into four figure prices.

It's a free standing one. Oddly, they took the box but left the post flat on the ground. It'd only been there a couple of years or so. The previous one got nicked as well.

In Cong tonight and in the words of John Wayne, "I'll have pint of your black beer bartender" although I'm in the wrong pub as the one used in the film doesn't have seats outside.

I suspect someone at the B&B has slightly more cash (or more debt!) than I have as I'm parked beside a Maserati Ghibli.

Is it possible to get one that works for any decent length of time?

I've given up and just use the disposable ones.

Hi tyred, I really dont know, I guess the more you pay the better quality it will be, but for the time being i'll order up a disposible with my Tesco shopping

I have a tub of peppercorns I got in a wholesale cash and carry still to use so I still need the refillable ones.

The disposable ones are usually re-fillable. I do it all the time.

Never tried so must remember that, thanks.

Yeah the top usually unscrews on the majority of them.

I sit outside the pub for a bit of peace and quiet to have dinner and for the past ten minutes there has been a couple standing outside the door having a row about whether to eat inside or out. STFU😠

There are times I'm pleased to be single

Like those pictured or one of the larger 5 foot high ones? I've got my eye on one due to be scrapped.
