Some people take the job far too seriously. In order to enable us to keep a track of requested cargo checks, etc they had a large whiteboard installed and meticulously gridded with black tape. It wasn't appreciated when iit was quiet yesterday morning and those of us on duty (apparently "a bunch of old timers resistant to change") filled in the grid with a couple of noughts & crosses games and 'Sudoko for Sun readers'

Ooohh - a sausage roll to go with the hot chocolate. Don't mind if I do.

Doesn't appear to be an improvement & wasn't the COVID nonsense pretty harmful to democracy.

The Covid stuff got started under President Trump, and little actually got going until Biden was in office, although I had to credit both admins for doing that which they could. I might also remind you that Pres. Trump told us Corona virus would be no worse than the influenza.

That would be a good move, although he's probably not the one running things.

Sure, wasting our time on that sort of thing seems to be what we all do well, but with world events being what they are, you know.

Were they all fans of Sean Connery ?

No, but we all went to see the James Bond films

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.

Yes, that is a possibility.

Forgot to mention earlier that my green wheelie bin got put out ready for collection in the morning. No black bag this week, there's barely anything in it.

Good morning.

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

No such thing: the wardrobe and the bed will be donated to work and resold to someone who can enjoy it, hopefully for decades.

Morning might go for a small trundle

Windy outside on my trundle
Garden birds have been fed

The Sky was so full of different colours
First cuppa went down well

I have a 'Gentleman's' wardrobe I got from Emmaus the homeless charity and it will outlast me. Made by human being not a machine in the 30's and it has a place for everything. Had it about 15 years now and I even went on to work for Emmaus and my whole flat is furnished in quality stuff that cost less than £500 in total.

Today I will be mainly riding my new bike and tweaking seat and bars to perfect. Going to aim towards London on NCN 1 and see how close I can get before a train back I think.

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

Wear it !

Wear it !

It'd make a good belt.
