I covered my Specialized saddle with some chamois leather this morning . It has turned out quite well. The glue seems to have stuck it down well as it was a struggle getting the excess bits of leather off .
I now have another saddle which I can put on a bike to use on dry days . The last one I did felt very comfortable .

I'm back. We rode about 20k, There was also a considerable amount of climbing on trees, building things in the forest, throwing leaves at each other, see-saws and slides.

Now I'm pooped and she's as bouncy as ever...

That's probably because your bicycle is not pink!

Computer systems frequently baffle me. The picture I put up today does not show on my Macbook and If I download it from the phone to Macbook it goes into photos but when I try to post this it tells me my photo file is empty.
IPad hoards it somewhere but refuses to put it into photos and the old IPhone I use for photos has put up 3 pics on the IPad.
Anyway it was nice to get out a bit further but while sunny the windchill made it bitterly cold.
Not much in the way of seashore birds. One cormorant, one heron and half a dozen oystercatchers. There usually would be flocks of eider duck.
On land disturbed a couple of ravens eying up a flock of sheep and if you look up as far as possible and then a bit further you can usually see sea eagles.
A bit too early for nesting birds yet but the dog walkers soon chase any away as they root around just above the shoreline.

Madam Lexi has been pestering me for food. But it's not food time yet.

So she's just stuck one claw in my right earlobe.

Ouch.

The girls had Felix AGAIL with chicken & kidney.

I've just had a big bowl of soup, and I've put some onions on to fry. They will shortly be joined by some sausages.

Here is the saddle cover process I used in stages. I used contact adhesive which stuck almost immediately being absorbed into the leather.

Great work!

For which I am eternally grateful.

Some of my work's IT systems have come back on. Just before the weekend.

The mice seem to have vacated the compost bin. Tidying has continued. Today it was the outdoor cupboards, they are not extremely tidy, but tidy enough to see/know what is in there.

The next for tidying, well rather more than tidying, completely emptying and starting again, is the wardrobes in my bedroom. One wardrobe is about fifty years old, and very wonky/wobbley.

New wardrobes are arriving four weeks from today. I have raided the piggy bank to get two new wardrobes, built to my specification. Most of the furniture in this house is over thirty years old, so it was time for some new furniture.

Ah, that large sausage and caramelized onion sandwich went down *VERY* nicely

Could be worse... You could have sparkly streamers on the bar ends...
