Yes it does, Brompton bags have a luggage adaptor that slots onto the luggage block attached to the frame and clicks into place, there’s a small lever that you pull back to release. With the luggage fitted it can be a bit awkward pulling the catch while simultaneously lifting the luggage off the block. The strap is attached to the lever and makes removal a lot easier.

Well, I finally got my QR adapter in the right place and the wheel drops in nicely now.
I had the bike upside down, and span the wheel up to speed. Hmm, that feels smooth. Now let it freewheel so I can enjoy the gentle purr of pawls...
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was attacked by a swarm of invisible but obviously very angry bees. What had I done wrong now?!?!
Quick Google. Oh, I am not the only one...
It will be great for scaring dozy pedestrians walking out in front of me, but not exactly pleasant to listen to when freewheeling down a Devon lane...
I will have to see if anything can be done about it other than stuffing the freehub with grease!
I’d upgrade it by fitting spokeydokeys too 😄

I've been on YouTube again looking for ideas on how to quieten my new freehub, and have instead found lots of people trying to make theirs louder... WEIRDOS!!
I also noticed that the brakes are not working brilliantly. They will have to be radically improved for me to be confident on steep descents in Devon. I think the back brake can be sorted enough to act as a good drag, but I don't think the front would actually stop me on anything steeper than 15% and I want it be good enough for 25%! I cleaned the discs before I put them on the new wheels, but it is possible that the pads are contaminated. I may have some spares which I could try.
My back is aching from bending over the bike and general faffing about so I'll leave maintenance duties until tomorrow now.

Chilly, isn't it! In fact, it got down to 17 degrees in here just now so I have switched my convector heater on. I can't remember ever doing that in June before!

A Question For You
Would it be ethical/right to keep something on loan, which was listed as destroyed/put beyond any further use by water damage. Claimed for on the insurance and the claim paid out.
Items taken on loan in the week before lockdown. Building secured upon lockdown, and next entered after the damage was caused five months later. Computer records only, with all computers rendered inoperative. No records of who had borrowed anything.

Morning. Who sent winter early. It’s only 3 degrees here! 
I foresee some willy waggling going onTesla cars come fitted with a large screen mounted on the centre of the dash. It's roughly a 15" screen. Big. When the car is parked and locked the screen acts as a security device and when anyone approaches the vehicle windows the screen wakens and begins recording. The screen tells you it is recording.
A good friend and neighbour took delivery of a Tesla on Friday................................the possibilities for fun are endless. Word is spreading about this recording function when one peers in through the window.
Not y you of course.
It was cold here yesterday. I 'tried' sitting on the patio WITH A WINTER JACKET ON ut gave up.Morning. Who sent winter early. It’s only 3 degrees here!
Good morning all.
Sun is shining and it looks nice out there.
We are having the downstairs bathroom converted with a walk in shower as MrsD can not get into the bath. Good progress made yesterday and the bulk will be finished by Wednesday.
I will bore you with some photos but only when its completed.

Good day people. A beautiful day is dawning though at 8⁰ it feels a lot cooler.
A BIG day ahead. Granddaughter is coming for her first full day of childminding with us. Tuesday will be our regular day. We decided to do this so we see her on a regular basis and help the parents with childcare costs. My first task is to collect her at 8.00am.
Regular readers will know Tuesday is also housework day. How will this pan out?
It took me three hours to warm up yesterday after my ride. Mrs P came home from outdoor activities frozen. Ridiculous.
