So you replace one part, then the other. No need for a new broom.

So if I buy a new broom, I'll have to disassemble it, place the head on the old knackered broom handle then swap the old handle for the new one? 🤔

It's been a reasonably pleasant day here chez Casa Reynard. Sunny early doors, but then it clouded over. Keen breeze, though.
Slept OK-ish. Met up with a friend for our weekly dog walk. Or in my case, dog hobble. I still wore my old (soft & squishy) walking boots as the top of my foot is bruised and sore. Oddly, walking was far less of an issue than driving. Said friend was well made up with the big box of Jacobs crackers I picked up for her on clearance last week as I know she's rather partial to cheese & biscuits.
Had a lovely luncheon of toast, salami cacciatore, fruit and a
Kitchen afternoon today. Prepared some fruit to make jam tomorrow so that I can use up some more of those Cottenham Seedling apples that I've got. They're not keeping as well as they ought to, and I don't want to waste them. After, I roasted some sweet peppers, garlic and a squash I had in, and have used that to make a big pot of soup.
I'm now sat by the fire with a and watching the evening news.

Oh yeah, and I stopped off at the book exchange on the way home from my walk and picked up five nice cookbooks to furkle through. One recipe caught my eye, and I'll be making it for supper.

Four-day weeks are strange: I spent today thinking it was Tuesday. It's like having existential jet lag.
Wouldn't be so bad, but I had an appointment this morning and nearly missed it because I thought it was tomorrow.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Evening cuppa brewing and whilst that's happening I am trying to decide between a biscuit or a slice of cake?

Evening.
I did a bit of tinkering on my Orbit Gold Medal this morning. I was trying to get all the gears to work. It has a triple clanger with a really small front chainring and a massive rear sprocket. There is a lot of play in the rear mech which is a Shimano MTB long cage. It is a bit touchy as to what sprockets and which chainring are selected. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Lovely few hours out this afternoon in the sunshine with the cloud cover starting just as I got home. Very little else done today which is just how it should be. I also have spending money for this weekend away as my savings account has matured - the capital will go into an ISA in April and the interest will go into beer & food.
It will shortly be hot chocolate time.

Supper was a big bowl of roasted squash, red pepper & red lentil soup (bloody lovely) and a portion of cheese, leek & cous cous cake (in two minds about that).

You’re overthinking this. Ask yourself “What would Trigger do?”
He would take it down the Broom repair centre. They are open 24 hours a day, but not at night.
