Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
The rain is on and off here. Just done some houseworky stuff. Jesus wept. Where does all the dust under the chairs come from.

Please do... it interests me.I could tell you of the times I've met and chatted with Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Barry Sheene, John Surtees, Joey Dunlop etc etc................but I don't like to name drop.
BTW when I were a lad in 1963 the bike I always fancied was the Ariel square 4.
Did you ever ride one/own one ??
Hope I can be excused for being late. Busy busy busy.
The aunty is having her operation today. Apparently her blood pressure and heart etc etc are all A1........amazing for a sub 7 stone 95 year old. Doctor says she was sat up in bed eating a meal last night.
My PoA was completed just 2 weeks ago. It includes finances AND care of health. I didn't expect to be called on so soon but the hospital Doctors need me to supply loads of stuff "just in case".
Strange isn't it........I am no blood relative, only through MrsD.....but as against the few relatives she has, she wanted me as PoA. A real pain in the arris tbh but also a privilege.

Raining here and generally yuk - bike is going to think I am ignoring it/her - haven;t been out on her for about a week because I took my wife's bike out a couple of times because I felt sorry for it
and also because ebike batteries don;t like just being dumped on a shelf for months.

The weather is irritating at the moment, it was lashing down when I wanted to get my bike out, I looked at the forecast and it was for sunshine and showers so I postponed my ride, so far its been more sunshine than showers.
I've put my Eastway away for the winter and got my fixed out so I was going to do my first fixed ride since March, I've changed the gearing so was looking foreward to seeing how it felt on the new gearing.

I took the car a quick whizz a few miles out the road and back as it hasn’t moved and I don’t want the battery dying. Went into Aldi on the way back and did a decent shop including 6 boxes of cat food so at least Molly will be happy. Also gave me a chance to see what the roads are like and the answer is still very wet with deep puddles so I have no desire to cycle. Another walk later if it stays dry will do me.

I've given up on the BBC weather app as since they dumped the Met Office as information supplier the forecast has gone to pot.
Now using the MO app which is proving very accurate and frequently updates. Also started using Netweather app on @Mo1959 suggestion - too soon to comment on accuracy but the radar images work well.

Well I'm certainly not the Sleeping Beauty. I'll give you 9/10 for spelling - missed out a "t". You could have had 10/10 but didn't show your "workings out."Probably. Oh yes, was it him that turned stuff into gold.....Rip van Winkle was the other geezer!
