Good morning folks.

Hi it's a wee bit

 

[PaulSB]

Good Morning. A beautiful day is dawning here in God's second choice for his country! Bows to @classic33 .......none of this Lancashire was the test run and Yorkshire the production model!!

I'm feeling rather chipper this morning. Still woke at 3.00am which is becoming a PIA but manged to sleep again till 6.00am. Spent the last 1.5 hours working on Covid Secure group riding for the club - I suspect this may be what's causing me to wake at 3.00am as it's a bit like being back at w**k!!

I have to stick the freezer drawer together next, then brekkie and out for a ride at 9.30. Mrs P has bought a new arbour for the garden. Anyone want to guess what this afternoon's job is? Answers on a postcard. No prizes.

Yes, it appears that Google had the bugs in, fortunately I use Google as little as possible.

Same here. My browser is duckduckgo, but that was affected as well. Just updated everything and it seems to be working. Yay

My problem is I have friends who think because I cycle I CAN fix my own bikes and so I COULD fix theirs as well.....................................I always send them to my favourite LBS!!

Paul you can fix a puncture in a tubeless tyre , your way ahead of me there .

I was confused I thought you had taken up sailing. In my part of Hertfordshire we don’t bother with H so an arbour is where boats are moored .

tubeless tyres are too advanced for me.

Too much faff for me and they make the tyre/rim combination so tight I doubt if I could put a tube in a puncture that wouldn't seal. Given it's around 3 years since my last puncture, I feel it's a solution for a problem I don't have. Just hope it doesn't become the norm and not leave a choice at some point.

I ran out of rock salt so went shopping and picked up a couple of Easter eggs while I was there, not for me mind

That sounds a dangerous statement to make Mo. Hope the p fairy doesn't read it
