Did anyone watch that new crime drama on the Beeb this evening? I will call it Slow Death in Aberdeen! I don't know what it was really called . It seemed to be a bit like Death in Paradise transplanted to Scotland . I just couldn't get into it , it seemed too slow so I gave up after 10 minutes .

Granite something or other?

Worked itself up to a high temperature of 11C today, but due to be a little shy of 0C to-morrow for a high temperature. 50 mph wind gusts. I am hoping Mrs. GA does not get blown away by the winds.

Sounds like a system where the requirements were described by the management, who also tested it as fit for purpose.:ohmy:
And the testing was done in an area where no documentary, regulatory or physical checks were ever needed so the problems we have never surfaced and nobody thought to ask what would happen if they were required.

Welcome to the history of every Civil Service IT system :laugh:
 
I watched it but it was very average. I don’t know why they used Aberdeen if they couldn’t find actors that could do an Aberdonian accent. I finished it on iplayer just to see what happened but it didn’t get much better.

That's 2 new crime dramas that I just don't seem to get ! :wacko: Murder in Provence and this new thing . They are nothing like Taggart , Morse or Rebus .
 
Morning.
It is dark outside .
I started doing some work on a bike I bought off my friend a year or so ago. He wondered if he could buy it back . The last ride we had with another friend he got left behind ! :ohmy: Normally he is in the breakaway group of 1 when I'm with our other friend and he usually has to wait for us , the Peloton to catch up .:whistle:
Anyway it was cold working outside on it so I brought the front wheel into our back place to work on . I thought I would clean and grease the hub . I stripped the hub down , the cones looked fine , no pitting . Most of the ball-bearings looked fine except for 2 halves ! :ohmy: They looked like they had worn down rather than split . I cleaned up the bearings and replaced the broken ones , rebuilt the wheel and popped it back on . It spun freely but then wobbled ! I tightened the cones up again and tried again . Might have some egg shaped balls . I get some new bearings this morning and try again . It might be the hub ! :wacko:
