On purpose: the apartment is very small so the wardrobe took up a massive amount of space and blocked the window. Sadly the surroundings gave it a looming presence and it looked quite ugly. Much better for it to be kept in a context that shows its workmanship off to advantage.

It's getting replaced with a smaller version, as is the bed. This will leave me with floor space and just maybe a long enough wall for a model railway...

Will you fit in a smaller bed?

Didn't you make the wardrobe!

Just seen off Mrs 73 to yet another extra shift on yet another service needed staff.
This time nursing on the night bus keeping night out pub and club crowd from getting to A&E freeing it up for the rest of use.

I've heard about the Night Bus, much respect to Mrs 73.

Remarkably well; I'm a fairly compact person

Sadly no, Getting Time, Tools, and materials in the same place at the same time would be difficult right now.

So bonfire, or firewood, for the wardrobe's future?

I am currently the posessor of a very funky-looking chain that came in a presentation box:

Now, what do I do with it? Son no. 2 has the only blue 11-speed bike in the house currently, his 2021 Ridley Noah Fast. But ... would it look good on a red/black NeilPryde Nazaré I wonder

@Phaeton's doing well!

More information! How many unicyclists do we are around the place?

Have a look in Beginners.
A unicycle will get you noticed on the commute.

Red would clash with blue. Can you swap it for a red one?

Nope. The shop had three for sale at discount; a red one, a blue one and a green one. I got second choice.

Match the chain colour with bike colour in that case.

If alternate links were red and blue would it look purple when you pedal fast?

I’m afraid your only choice is a new bike to match….

I was wondering why my old fleece felt so heavy. I found an 11/16" spanner in the pocket.

Possibly explains why I couldn't find it in the shed on Saturday when I was working on my tractor.

Little polo battery flat Mrs left the light on!

Fiesta revenge!!

Hopefully jump start it tomorrow!

Lovely supper of celery & parsley soup, then grilled tuna steak, a jacket potato, tomato salad and homemade basil & walnut pesto.
