Wet and windy out there today - not going for a walk or a ride in that.

Instead we are toddling off in the car later on for a carnic which is our version of a picnic in our car with a lovely view and our Kindles. :smile:

Good morning all. I'm still breathing in and out. Hope all are well. Sorry carcass elevation programmes continue to function. Had a cherry scone for breakfast for a change - well it was just there - Danni had bought them and left them on the kitchen worktop - begging for it they were. :smile: Anyway, I broke one in half and left it five minutes while I made a cup of Yorkyshire, this ensured that any fat content had the opportunity to escape before I ate it.

Weather continues to be unpleasant here - actually sounded like cats and dogs raining onto the velux pane yesterday - ye Gods it was noisy.

Sorry for being AWOL - the problems with the laptop charger are recurring. Actually it's only the cable to device connector that is faulty. A replacement was sourced but it's very shoddy and not up to the job. A new charger had been ordered but is slow to arrive. I don't like using a phone to type on forums - it's too much of a faff for me. I'm happier with a hacksaw in my hand than a mobile. :laugh:

I managed to keep busy for a few minutes only fitting the upgrade pedals and some accessories to Danni's new Liv, but I'm chomping at the bit to get outside, on the bike, or at least get busy with some tools.

I'm still waiting to put some time in on the Emonda as I'm seeing some rave reviews on Youtube - seems this frameset has a bit of a cult following even among pro cyclists. I bought the bike new at a such a good discount that made it cost less than the retail price of the frameset alone, so I'm properly smuggerly chuffed with meself. :dry:

I see I've missed pages of stuff in just a couple of days. Anyway, have a great day everyone and stay safe. I can't catch up fully yet as the wretched connector is already getting hot.

How am I supposed to ever get rich.
After Dirks get rich quick malarky I decided to flog a few things.
1. MrsDs bike. Daughter phones to say she has decided to start cycling but guess what.....she doesnt have a bike. That £150 down the pan:sad:
2. The old Flymo. Its good and quite big. We had it for the caravan. My Bro** messaged me last night. His mower has died. Another 50 smackers gone.
All I need now is for my son to tell me he has taken up sea fishing :wacko:.
Ahhh well, its clearing out space.
**he is notorius for never giving anything away for nowt^_^
Dont get me wrong, he is very generous with birthday/anniversary gifts etc......just enjoys flogging stuff for a profit.

I had plenty of carnics as a kid. My mum and dad loved getting out and about whatever the weather. The times we had the picnic in the old car as the rain battered on the roof.:rain:
