Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Just saw this article about Strava and the free bits. Seems like soon so many things will be only available when you pay for it that there won't be a free part soon enough.

Rotary washing line fell apart when I tried to put it back in it's 'ole at lunchtime.
Ordered a new one from Argos and it was delivered an hour ago.
Pretty damned good service there guys.
All the plastic rope on mine apart last year. I bought some more and 're threaded it. Works a treat now.
It was the ratchet system that fell apart. Another cheap Chinese piece of crap re-labelled and marketed as a quality item.

That happened to our one, snapped where the pole was rusting away at the bottom. Cleaned it up so it fits in the hole in the ground, but it's 9 inches shorter now.

Yes, we have an Amazon warehouse (or, fulfilment centre, I think is the correct term), about. 4 miles from where we live. On at least one occasion, I have ordered something, and it has been delivered within a couple of hours, even without Prime. The only improvement I can see on that, is if they start to bypass me, and, just deliver before I have thought of ordering it!

Good evening all.
The new laptop charger not arrived, and the lick of flame from the cable of this current charger is deterring me from use. The replacement connector while being the correct mechanical fit to the device doesn't have the required current carrying capacity. Hopefully the new one will arrive soon.
A funny thing I've noticed. The notifications indicator at the top right of the screen seems to have working for this thread. Anyone happen to know why?
I had a quick ten miler out with Danni last night and again this afternoon, but it turned into a game of dodge the spots. Tomorrow looking better though, but Danni probably out paragliding so I'll be solo riding tomorrow.
Oops, it's getting hot again. See you back here soon. xx

We've had a storm go over, it went dark, started blowing a hoolie, heavy rain and thundered loudly, but no lightning. I was half way through feeding the plants we have in pots, its still dark but it appears its mostly gone over.

30 mph winds and 32 C. Humidity is 13%. Went about 17.5 miles, mostly against that wind. Climbed about 600 ft all in the last mile or so. Drier than the hubs of hell today. Only had an hour and a half, so it was a good little spin. When its this dry and windy you never feel sweaty although you are actually sweating profusely. Musn't grumble... in a few months it will be snowing again.
