Tea? (Part 3)

[ScotiaLass]

Hello, good morning and welcome all! In recovery from a tough ride yesterday, well for me anyway. Luckily (!) it's due to be heavy showers today, all the excuse I need to get on with the home duties not done this week so far because I was fettling/riding... Coffee first though..while the washing machine is getting on with my cycling clothes for tomorrows episode!

I have laundry to do today too...thanks for the reminder

Mud? That's that dirty looking stuff at the side of the proper road isn't it? Actually around here it can be the stuff that the grass is growing out of in the middle of the road that you have to cycle on to avoid the whipping from the overgrown hedgerows...
Actually I used to enjoy my MTB rides over Dartmoor and Exmoor, don't do it now.

Right, ride report here done, next to blog a fuller piece..see you later...

One day to go?

good morning people of the land of tea. I hope this morning brings you much sunshine, although I dont think so. Drink lots of tea, and cake and biscuits, and do whatever takes Your fancy and above all enjoy yourselves.

Is that last bit wise, given a certain poster from the red rose County!!

Can't you just use the shower like anyone else would.
Somehow I don't think going for a spin in the washer will do the washer any good!

Bit more blog wordage done, more pics uploaded, waiting for this latest shower to go by before the dog gets his turn around the block. New shorter stem arrived so I've been out and fitted that, testing the position can wait till tomorrow when I'm due to 'go out somewhere on the bike' with my brother. One more coffee I think...

Image from yesterday, found it makes a great wallpaper

Just received a (new) t-shirt I bought on ebay.
Postage costs were stated as £3.20. Actual cost? £1.17 (and the poly post bags aren't that expensive!)

I've just ordered a new Suntour crankset off someone on Ebay...will slightly lower the gearing on my pottering bike to keep me nice and slow...£3.99 P&P. 70p less for a T-shirt does seem a bit excessive.

That's what I thought too.
I gave her +ve feedback as the item was nice but did mention the postage was steep!

Now don't go enhancing that frugal stereotype.
