Morning all

Nipping down to the caravan first thing to hook it up to the mains and run a full systems check for an hour or so. It'll just need a quick clean then and it'll be ready to go.
Car is in for an MOT on Thursday and, if all goes well, we should get away for a week soon after.
Rishi is treating us to lunch today.

Our car is in for MOT today, so, fingers crossed it passes, AND it doesn't rain, because I have to cycle 5 miles to the garage to collect it!

Rishi is treating us tomorrow, so, don't use up all of his money

Well a 12 mile bimble for me this morning. Very hazy and hot hot hot as well. We are due to have more storms this afternoon.

Morning all, very murky here. Thunder and lightning in the early hours. Nothing planned for today.

Oh, it was you making that racket they're complaining about!

Next time not so loud, you seem to have woken some during the early hours with it.

Rishi treated me to a lobster salad this lunchtime.
Washed down with a bottle of ice cold Chablis.
The things us pensioners have to do to get this country back on it's feet!

Second and fourth pictures are the same stretch of road!

What, no blue chain? How is that mirror set up? Of course, it's on the wrong side for me. The chain guard is fine in my opinion as it certainly does guard the chain

Well my mudguard fettling is finished and Mrs Tenkay is pleased.
Here's "Jennifer" on her first outing to the little park around the corner. View attachment 541041

They are opposites to each other.

Looking south from Casper Mountain in the middle of our drought. The middle picture with the flagpoles marks the spot where the homesteaders who lived here were buried. The grey-green plants are sage, which Mrs 12 plucks to make sage bundles to hang with other herbs in the house. It is very dry....a careless ATV spark or a cigarette butt would be disastrous. Because we get so little rain it takes decades for the lodgepole pines to come back.

The chain guard does its job but doesn't look right so it'll be swapped for one that's made for the 44 tooth Brompton chainring.
I did manage to find a colour coordinated chain for " Graham", my other Brommie.
It's a 10 speed chain and there were suggestions that I'd have issues with the derailleur shift. I tweaked the pusher plate and it changes smoothly.
I hope Mo and Welshie like my colour co-ordination, you can't see in the photo that the brake pads are Red/Black Swisstop 🙂
