Lovely luncheon of a gammon sandwich (with a dab of mustard), a minneola, a pear and two

Trip to the community orchard has been put back till tomorrow - am taking advantage of the warm and sunny weather to prime some parts for the Higman. I've also dismembered a plastic milk bottle.

And in the 1970s & 1980s, could be quite scantily clad...

What are the requirements for selling bikes in Germany?

I tend to insist on getting money for them.

To be legal on the road:

Lights; used to be dynamo lights only, now 'attached' lights, and a continual back light either using a capacitor or battery.
Reflectors front and rear, also in wheels and pedals,
I think at least one brake on the front wheel, possibly at least a back pedal brake on the back (We always have this but I'm not sure if I have to)
Theoretically I think Mudguards are mandatory.

Of course MTB's and racers don't have most of these: racers under a certain weight are exempt and MTB's have a sticker saying they're not technically road legal, but unless it's night time I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over.

Thank you! 16 years. As Mr Hebe just said, it feels like forever and five minutes simultaneously.

 

[Hebe]

I really like the crumble and ice cream suggestions, thank you!

Done usually by wee girls with pushy and competitive mothers. It was probably invented by Sir Walter Scott who invented all sorts of ersatz so called Scottish “ traditions” to please the visiting English/German king of the time.

Although sword dancing in various guises has a long history stretching back to antiquity.

True but not something I have ever taken seriously probably due to the artificial nature of the current kind.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
