I hate those push on Schraeder valve connectors . If the tyre isn't flat when you start it will be by the time you connect it or the valve might have disappeared into the rim !

push from the other side?

The football is not going well...

I've ended up with a sore Achilles after a ride earlier went wrong; the rear mech on my Avanti Circa ended up in the rear wheel, breaking a spoke.

I was about 4 miles from home and had a long carry/push, with a stop for lunch on the way.

But it was a long uphill trek in SPD shoes. The RH Achilles is currently being treated and will hopefully be OK enough for a 400km audax starting Saturday morning.

It's just got worserer

 

[Reynard]

It is now going even less well...

The referee is doing nothing to stop the Son & Kane acting demonstration.

I braved the rain and went for a walk. Stopped in the library for a browse en-route.

Another day of dodgy weather by the looks of it.
On FB there are people looking to book accommodation for next year.
On another bit somebody has thrown a figurative bomb in by posting something from a Norwegian newspaper which says all ferry journeys on vessels carrying less than 100,000 passengers will be free of charge. Looks genuine but I suppose vehicles will still have to pay. Problem here would be that we would be unable to travel due to hordes of daytrippers.

There's no ferry operating in European waters capable of carrying 100,000 passengers, in a single sailing.
Largest operating, MV Ulysses, in UK waters carries just short of 2,000 per sailing.

Oi!

I happen to like Assam!!!

Now Lapsang Souchong... That truly *does* taste like the bottom of an ashtray... Bleurgh.

I'm not knocking Assam I was just using it as an example of a non-blended Tea

If you look at antique tea caddy's you'll find 2 receptacles inside, one for black (Indian) and the other for the more expensive green (Chinese) leaves with the object being you could blend your own.

Also note it has a lock to prevent ones servants from nicking your expensive commodity

Sorry I pressed the report button rather than the like by mistake.
Heavy black coffee here or strong wine....

I too was a Black Coffee fiend for years but as I aged it wasn't doing me any good so I switched to Tea with a twist of Lemon or a few drops of Lemon Juice (it turns it from a dark scummy liquid to a clear one) but that needed half a teaspoon of Sugar to take the edge off then I discovered Chinese Tea which needs nothing in it. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy the odd cup of (very strong) Coffee and even own a proper Espresso machine (DeLonghi) and always buy the strongest 'dark roast' beans but it's more of a special treat drink say after a meal especially if Maz has made something like a Tiramisu for pudding desert

Bagels. What's the point of the hole? Is it trying to be a doughnut?
