More likely brewed around teatime previous day.

I wish iceland did inner tube and bike parts..
I'd be there Tuesdays..
Yesterdays chanty wrasslers give 8% but only at the till?
That inbox is cluttered with that lot, aliexpress and a survey mob....
think everything has cleared customs.

2.3mm of rain fell quickly there, got the bin I was airing in quick enough.
Fancying a cold beer..
but I'll wait.

I took the same route (plus a detour or two) but gingerly cycled through where I first noticed the flat but TBH I think it had been a slow...
I'll check later.
Pumphead on my track pump looks a bit mangled in the Schrader bit,
I could buy a cheap pump for not much more than the spare part.
Cold first cuppa, or one that were in t'pot on't stand?

Who else would be there as well though.
I left/didn't renew my membership the year it went down to 8%. More because they were useless when required(Legal advise), than the 8% drop.
No e-mails to tell you each item has cleared, and when? They're slacking!
Just mark and delete the lot.

Damp start with rain at midday plus one minute.
Waiting for it to warm up before you touch it, then get that cooling feeling from it.
Resistance is futile...

Did you go the same way, plus one or two detours, by accident or choice?

You played radio too long this morning. Meaning you've still to fix the tube.
Buy a cheap one, so long as you're not paying for something really cheap, liable to break easily in use.

I have it for the insurance, I have used the 10% extensively over the years esp when they did a price match.
I haven't bought as much since I moved since my then my mileage has fallen off the cliff.
I have email receipts from a long, long time ago, I should do a clear out every 12 months.

Nah, detours were just an addon, not that long out my way

New road, funny a few seconds after I took this, I had a flat tyre.. maybe I shouldn't have stopped :laugh:
I think it is 123 ft of rise from bottom roundabout to top roundabout, obviously a great cycling surface shared path.
I stay up and to the right, there will be another road into further houses to be built which will save me a bit of uphill, see roundabout mid photo. The wood at the top is the one I head up to and pass through, eventually joining a cycle, walking path and /joinscrosses this road 200 m down the way.

I had it for the insurance as well, don't think I ever used the 10% off though. But being mucked about on legal advice sealed it for me. Did not renew after that.
New tyre(s) on yer shopping list, to go with the innertubes?

Won't more houses mean more cars, or will you be imposing a cycle only acces policy.
123 feet isn't that bad. Does look good though.

It's still quiet when you consider it's more of an avoid the Cross traffic lights,
I don't care as shared path the whole way,
that'll diddly do me..

Tyres look okay, I have one spare, must have used it at some point so most likely get a spare.

It looks quiet enough. Yer own private road not yet open to motor vehicles.
Suppose there's a huge increase in the number on bikes when they build those new houses. Still do you?

Well if you didn't use it who did?
Always handy to have though.

Funny, when I moved in here, site agent told me it must be standard practice to buy a bike as garages seemed to have 2 new bikes in them, mostly mountain bikes...
I have two neighbours, one electric and one man powered..
I have seen odd bike passing but not many..

Maybe they were hinting at you only having one, as not enough.
Shame they don't seem to have seen outside of the garages they're stored in.
Especially given yer earlier picture of a "busy" road.

Dry day here.

I have three....
there was 6 at one point..
Lazy with family dropping in and out all day long..
5.3mm of rain...
6 dry days this month and the rest wet..
All my packages from abroad through customs but it's gone quiet..
must be in that place called Limbo..

Just watched a couple more of the helicopter flight footage up the Rombuck Glacier and the 'hills' around Everest, phenomenal footage TBH. (You Tube).
Today is normal catch up with subscription videos but leaving it until tomorrow.....

And they left them all with you for safekeeping, picking half of them up as when needed.
How is Toodles dropping by a lazy day!
Were ahead of you for dry days, so far. But today became a wet one just over an hour ago.
They're probably working out how much they can charge you for each parcel. That or wondering why you specified they be sent individually. Door knock and controlled delivery?
How are they on the e-mail front?

Still working out your ascent route from the videos.
Catch up day delayed, you might never catch up now.

Thin k I've watched enough I could recognise the route without all the fixed rope and ladders especially in the Death Zone :ohmy:
Yon video blog of the fellow who did it recently is interesting, think I mentioned it..
It is mostly a slog now due to everything being in place to clip on to.
Supreme fitness and acclimatisation the main needs...

Time to go wake Beag .......
Five separate parcels arrive today...one to come.

You know it that well you could do it in yer sleep?
Would love to hear you explaining that to Mrs M when she wakes you.
As is taking what you'll be needing along the way. You got enough cash to pay the Sherpas? Don't think they take card payments yet.

Did he complain about you waking him up just to go to nursery, again.
These parcels the same ones that were possibly in the land of limbo?
