Morning all, dark and gloomy and windy, with rain forecast.
As ever, I have no plans for the day.

Morning all, just getting light here.
A cloudy day is forecast.
It is my son's last day of isolation since one of his colleagues tested positive. He took most of the unit into isolation just as a large engineering job was about to start.
He has had two tests, both negative, so he is back to work tomorrow.
He has not done well in isolation, he is a very sporty, active, outdoor type of person.
Stay safe everyone, stay smart 😉

Thank you both for this, I will be investigating later. It's happened twice recently, the first time on a bent valve on a tubeless tyre but yesterday was a brand new tube I'd to use by the roadside. CO2 worked instantly.

Yes, each had a removable valve but yesterday's was a brand new tube fitted by the road.

Same round here, every lane is filthy. The winter bike will get a lot of TLC today.Morning. Chucking it down yet againEverywhere is saturated and running out of roads or tracks that don't have standing water or mud now.

Some years ago one of the tube makers, I can't remember who it was, had a faulty batch of tubes with presta valves, the valves hadn't been tightened properly in the factory, I had a box of them and every time I took a new one out the box I had to check that the core was tight.
Good morning fellow retirees,
A couple of DIY jobs this morning then a stroll up to the Park. Our route should take us past the War Memorial about 11ish.
Daughter and granddaughter are popping round later so I'll be going for a run with our daughter 🏃♂️
Off to Screwfix soon, stay safe

Back from a very soggy 10k. Slower than a slow thing but pleased I found the motivation to go out in that weather.
I see Lezyne have started to supply their pumps with a built in core tool now. Quite handy, although I have already bought some of the little ones to pop in my saddle bag anyway.

Well good day to you all. Now it's light the weather looks quite bright and blowy - grass needs cutting so hope this will dry it.
Slept from 10.00 till 7.00 and feel very perky today - I can't believe the extent my mood varies through this crisis. So lots will be done:

Paul. You do know the tube goes INSIDE the tyre don't you.
Just offering my vast experience here of course

Oh shoot!! Really? I always wondered why everyone else took so long to change a tube - I'll let my buddies in on this one. 🤔Paul. You do know the tube goes INSIDE the tyre don't you.

Good morning all .
Job one is to clean up all that tissue from the utility room..... the tissue from when I didn't check pockets before putting the washing in
. since it happened I have not felt good but (strangely) started to feel stronger yesterday...... so will attack it this morning.
Job two. The aunty will be in respite for 6 weeks. Her freezer is packed with M&S ready meals and MrsD wants to rescue any near to the sell by date..........we are not eating much but can handle one meal between us.
After that......no idea.
