Mundane News

I was watching Breakfast TV and saw that they were going to show someone playing a saxaphone, it was something to do with breathing. They kept putting it off so much that I entirely forgot about it and missed it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

What a simply gorgeous morning. Shame I'm working.

and it's going to be warm.

You are obviously not in Mancland

After yesterdays snow, we may skyrocket up to 0C here today, and grey.
We will warm up to decent temperatures, +7 or 8 by the weekend.
I had a little case of food poisoning last night, but it is all over now.
I still won't eat anything for a couple of days.

Take it easy and fettle some bikes.Always a good recovery method.

Has anyone else been watching "The Replacement" on BBC on Tuesday evenings? It is a three part series with the last one this evening. I apologise to @Gravity Aided as he will not know what I am talking about.

I like to guess the ending of these programmes. I think the replacement did not take ten years out to raise children, but spent perhaps seven years in prison. Her "daughter" does not exist, and she wants to steal the main character's new baby.

Also "Big Little Lies" got off to a good start last night. "Midnight Sun" set in northern Sweden starts on the 15th March. It sounds like I watch a lot of tv, but I don't really.

I've finally plucked up the courage to do a couple of rounds with my lawnmower - last year, I showed it who was boss but I was fearful that it may have forgotten in the interim period...

However, I have successfully (and quite manfully) mowed the grass (I am somewhat reluctant to call it a lawn).

Or so I thought.

Upon stowing my mower and retiring indoors for a well deserved coffee and sustenance, I smugly ascended the stairs to admire my handiwork (in order to puff my chest out and ascertain the best viewing angle for my wife when she gets home).

Unfortunately, I seem to have missed a bit.

My lawn now has a Mohican.

What is it with modern cycles with huge gert big handle bars that they fit? Do they think that people want to emulate Nelson's Victory under full sail.
What has got me niggled is that I was trying to do a bit of tinkering again. So in order to swap a few bits over I was carrying my BSA held aloft in both arms. Whilst I was manoeuvring between my wife's cycle with the enormous bars and my Holdsworth, I failed to notice the brake lever sneak it's way into the back pocket of my jeans. It was only when I tried moving that I noticed that my Holdsworth was coming with me. Having my arms fully occupied I tried to extricate myself from the predicament I was in, but found that the nice curving return on the brake lever acted as a barb on a hook. With a bit of a struggle I managed to hold the BSA with one hand and release the brake lever from my pocket with the other.
I did a bit more tinkering on the Albion. It is starting to look a bit better.

Mowhican?

I've been out, and I've not long been back home.

Just now, things are picking up

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Puzzled by this picture. The chap third from right looking remarkably casual about the whole affair. Shouldn't he be standing to attention or saluting or something?

I am so bored and depressed I'm almost tempted to get the bike out.
