Good morning. The forecast is excellent. Sun. 17⁰. Looking out of the window I would say we're 50/50 on that one.
An exciting day ahead in Paul land. Next up is a mountain of ironing plus Netflix followed by morning stretches. Then I have allotment work to do before the rain arrives tomorrow.
The di2 on my bike is still cr@p meaning yet another trip to the LBS. On Wednesday a 68 mile ride used 47% of the shifter charge, on both shifters. That means a battery change will be needed at +/- 150 miles - at best two rides. This time I'm asking for the whole groupset to be replaced. That's going to cost someone, not me, £12 - 1400. If the LBS won't do this I may have to invoke the Sale of Goods Act and return the bike. This is a great shame. I've used the same LBS for 25 years and I really don't like piling the pressure on.
I never buy anything major online. I'm strong believer in supporting local businesses. The di2 saga, this is my fifth LBS return, shows the value of a real world retailer. Imagine trying to sort this mess out online.
As for Shimano? 💩

Morning. A long lie had. It’s 4 degrees and misty at the moment.
I see it’s a certain Welsh Dragon’s birthday today.

Morning all
Bit overcast this morning, but hey! It's Fish Friday!
On a different note; the dredging work in Watchet harbour is coming along nicely. Yesterday, they finally released the inner harbour tidal gate and it still works, after lying dormant for several years. High fives all round!

Hope it all goes well, and, speedy recovery.
Daughter no 3 off to hospital today, early breast cancer diagnosis, lump-ectomy and hopefully, that will be the end of it. She took delivery of a brand new car yesterday, now, can’t drive for at least two weeks.
