I've just ordered a couple of pairs of flat pedals as I am thinking of reverting. No huge problems being clipped in other than feeling I want to be able to move my feet around more and wear comfy shoes that are easier to walk in.

Just to be clear - I am not called Dave - but if it becomes a problem I could be persuaded to identify as a Dave if necessary - I believe that is a thing now???

Anyway - annoying thing today is a flat rear tyre
no idea how that happened - it was fine yesterday and all it did was a short trip to the LBS and back again

Wot a performance, they've over paid my Pension Credit, I've had a letter asking for the over payment back, Thats OK I'll just pay it back, I phone the provided phone number and after half an hour of waiting I get through to be told, "its not on our system yet and I need to wait for a second letter". So they want the money back but are not going to make it easy for me to make the payment. I spent twenty minutes trawling through their website and I couldn't find a way to pay it online either.

Apart form being unwell today I'm Nicholas, went to get a clean pair and there none
I have four options :-
Go commando
Drive 4 miles into town and buy some more, but I have loads at home and don't need any more
Drive home 16 miles and pick some up
or wash them, but I can't find any washing powder/liquid so I'll have to use shower gel and dry them on the radiator.

Couple of years ago I was on a routine visit to hospital for a scan. They noticed a large gallstone blocking the bile duct so I was whipped off by taxi to Paisley hospital with no prior warning. I did have my routine overnight bag but nothing else. I ended up with enough underwear and pyjamas to last me out I think as I was stuck away from home for a couple of weeks and had to get people to buy more for me while I was incarcerated.
I could go several weeks now without needing to wash any.

Just been out for a visit to the local farm shop which stocks lots of cheese but did not have the meat or sausages I wanted. Time they killed another pig or two as well as some sheep.
Did get the last couple of packs of bacon tho'.
Recently tried something new to me anyway. Bacon and marmite sandwich. Lovely.
It was coop rubbish bacon but would not waste the good farm bacon like this.
