Oh well , that didn’t go to plan. Option two won out . Sat down , opened my beer and did the first race then my phone goes. It’s my daughter, can I come and pick her up from Brandon as her gears are not working 😂😂😀😀😀

I have done some washing and have been playing with my sewing machine which is even older than i am.

Is it steam driven?

The scraper that the man down the cycle shop uses on my Y fronts is steam driven.

Perhaps some others may take a minute out of their busy day and tell me what happens when they tried it.

No matches or candles to hand, so used a piece of kitchen roll doubled over, with a lighter.
Managed to blow it out.

Sleepless in Seattle......

Good morning all.

I haven't managed to be here lately. A bit of health issue, being away for a few days, and some DIY to complete all conspired against me.

I have about a week's worth of catching up to do, but hope you all are doing well. Weather's not been much to shout about here - some rain and 38mph winds. Danni and I got a good soaking the other evening - instincts said rain but the met office said it would hold off - oh boy did it rain!

I thought I'd hate it but oddly found it refreshing and the bike seemed to enjoy it too, it rode so smoothly despite roads being flash-flooded.

I've said before that my looks nice enough but I was looking at bike porn again recently, so I've 'pimped my ride' to add a bit of colour. Danni has accused me of 'vajazziling' it. It might be deemed unconvential to do what I have, but I had a theme in mind. Here's one pic, see what you think. View attachment 538440

Must say I like this........

Morning. Was a lovely red sky when I was first up but it's gone now. The rain is due soon and to be on most of the day. Better head out for a walk while I have the chance.

Now try with a double layer, the kitchen paper we tried one layer and the double layer of cloth you could not blow it out. Did it take more effort than normal, you would have taken a fiver off of me back in the day, nobody else did.

Good morning. Over cast here but it's supposed to be a nice day so we shall see.


I love Sleepless In Seattle.

Stay safe folks.

I'm sure it was supposed to be nice today.
Rain now forecast at least all morning.
We are going to town later. MrsD is having her hair cut and I am having an eye test.
I know I need stronger glasses for reading (unless labels are being printed with smaller text now).
I am trying an independant optician as MrsD had a bad experience with Specsavers. This one says the problem with Specsavers is that they source lenses from whoever is cheapest whereas he only uses Zeiss or one other. More expensive but I will give him a try.
We "might" have a look in the new market. Not sure as we are really careful about mixing with public more than essential. I will have a think about that.
