Molly isn’t interested in the footie!

The weather here is horrible.

Here as well - there's been frequent heavy showers all day. During one of them, I received a text message from my sister to the effect of "For goodness sake, go back to work so the weather improves"

Likewise the girls. They've buggered off upstairs.

Ooo. Getting exciting now! ⚽

Hmmm, maybe I wasn't so far wrong in thinking this would go to extra time and pens...

Nothing nothing will keep us together

We can beat them forever and ever,

Well, extra time it is...

Still rain of Biblical proportions

I finally got around to completing re-assembly of the Rudge. I had removed a link from the chain and replaced it with a half-link as the chain was always loose and rattled a bit over bumps inside the chaincase. I had managed to drop the circlip thing from the joining link into the chaincase and it was stuck in the oily gunge at the bottom of it and it was a complete 🤬 to fish out again.

I do wonder if a chaincase is really worth it. The chain (and my trousers) stay nice and clean and the chain will last for decades but it is a nightmare to remove the wheel when combined with rod brakes, hub gear and dynamo. Still, it's all ready for the road now.

I also cleaned and oiled the chain on the Brompton and adjusted the brakes.

I think it is time I tidied up the garage.

Now time to relax and read a little.

Only two things of note today.
1 - I am slightly more aerodynamic having had to get the clippers out for a grade 3 cut.
2 - The baseball cap I keep in the car seemed to have gone missing when I needed it on Saturday, so it has now been replaced by one of the multitude of freebies I've collected from various events over the years

I've seen 2 minutes of the EURO semi-final. They all seem to be falling over injured.

On a bike they'd be straight back up, pretending it didn't happen

Black bin day, tomorrow. It's by the kerb ready for the morning collection.

Would rather there had been another goal. I always feel there is an element of luck with penalty shoot outs. Good guess by the goalie to pull off a save and that could be it.

 

[Reynard]

Penalties it is.

Nice to know my instincts were correct. Mum now owes me cake.
