I have arrived, as bit late but hope I am allowed in.
Not got the phone back yet so have to fire the computer on for CC and guess what, the bl**dy thing decided not to let me open it this morning. Just managed to log in though I don't know what I have done differently.
My day so far.
Was at Aldi for 07.40. Got all our and the aunties shopping do. None of the tills were open so, as first there I waited. Eventually some Aldi guy came and said load up on conveyor 1..........so I did. 2 minutes later another Aldi person said "why have you done that"? I pointed and said "cos he told me to". She said "No 1 is not working, you have to go to No3":sad::wacko:. So I re-packed the trolley and move to No3, by which time there were 3 people in front of me. I was not happy.
Got home, sanitised everything then delivered it to the aunty.........poor woman is petrified and covered head to toe for protection.
Back home now and too late to go for a walk as it gets busy after 10.00.
Gob still pain free:smile:. I actually enjoyed a sandwich last night and am wondering about lunch now yum yum.
Have a good day everyone.
Glad to hear you are pain free Dave 👍

Just got back from a gentle ride.
It looks like the rain is coming.

Well that was interesting. After fitting new tyres to my Brommie yesterday I took it around the block to check that all was OK.
The derailleur wouldn't shift between high/low so I put it up in the work stand and saw that I'd misaligned the chain tensioner when refitting.
Removed and refitted the chain tensioner, reached up to flick the derailleur gear lever only to find the hub gear shifting. Tried it a couple of times whilst thinking " that's impossible" before noticing that the front of the bike had swung round nearly 180 degrees 🙄

Wickes bathroom paint has the consistency of skimmed milk, and covers even less. Bought some to use as a base coat on another job and did not use it so though bang it in the downstairs loo, 4 coats and you can still see through it, normally buy all our paints from the trade centre's rather than a retail place. Tried a bit of the Dulux Diamond Matt much the aame colour and it covered in one Grrrr!
