A friend of mine used to have a horse that was so well trained that she could stand in the saddle to scrump apples...

Not currently raining but it looks a bit stormy in a southerly direction.
It seems to be recycling bin day and the nuisance holiday house has stuck a bin out to block 2 cars. This is a newish idea so the owner [ from Yorkshire ] must have splashed out on a sheet of paper which gives the dates for the various collections.
I need to go out later with the car so will have to shove it back to block their gate to give more room.

Morning .
Raining here .
Biggsy asked me for a road test / report on the use of the clay bar on my bike . From looking at it last night indoors it looked as though it had got its lacquered look back . When I first got my 70's Viking I accused the factory of not lacquering the finish as it looked like a straight metallic . By the late 70's basecoat and clear finishes were common in the automotive industry so I would have thought that cycles would have used a similar finish . I polished my frame with Farecla G3 which brought a bit of shine into the finish but not a lot .
Yesterday I thought I would try out the clay bar I bought from the H company for a fiver . I wasn't going to pay loads for something I didn't know if it worked . I tried the bar out on a couple of panels on our 11 year old car. The paint finish is still pretty good but the tailgate has some rusty industrial fallout spots on it . I didn't wash my car beforehand as per instructions said I should have . I am a bit impatient ! I used some washing up liquid and water as a lubricant . Another money saving measure !
I ended up doing the bonnet and tailgate . I then did my bike frame .
The results this morning . The bike frame does look better and the paint feels smoother . The 2 panels on the car stand out as if they have just been resprayed ! There is a definite difference in the amount of shine when comparing panels .

Just seen a bumble bee visiting the flowers in the garden. A bit damp out. Expecting delivery so delaying my daily walk until wife is back from gym.

My, that was a lot of rain!
The milk has curdled and I hadn't taken a new one out of the freezer. Straight onto black coffee for me.
