Let's hope they can make a go of it, whatever changes they might have to make.

Morning folks not very summery out there... Ordered up all the components to turn the Dawes into a 10 speed - it'll be a 'street sleeper' and go like the wind! Snapped my mirror off tuther day so ordered up a couple of those to, really dont like riding without one.
Went outside a moment ago to take a pic of my climbing rose 'leaping salmon', its been very pretty with dark pink flowers....yesterdays 40mph winds blew all the petals off

Morning all

Weather's looking good, so a day in the garden is in prospect.
Talking of fish and chips - our local chippie does a chip butty for £2.50 and they are very nice too.

There is a joke there somewhere (if you have a rude mind )

I was wondering what she was talking about, I'll be honest.

I recall them being 6d around 1957.

We were poor - only allowed fish -n -chips on Christmas Eve because we were in the part of the year that my Dad described as
"House full of food and nothing to eat"
almost as bad as not having sky growing up

Oh the horror stories I could tell!!
(Yes - I actually had a Raleigh Elite bike as well - even my friend's Dragster was better - look them up only if you want a good laugh and are not of a nervous disposition!!!)
(and the fact that we lived in a big house and I went to a school where you have to pay fees was irrelevant!!!)

Q day today. In two weeks we're playing at a local club so I'll pop down and scope it out to see what PA gear we'll need.

Morning.

Owdo

Popping out just for another half hour stroll before the cycling.

Up since about 8 ish
robot is happily hoovering and I am keeping an eye on its internal map of the room
apparently we have a lounge the size of a hall in the Palace of Versailles and of a shape designed by Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen while on a good dose of LSD
(not that I have a clue what that means!)

I think the internal systems that "map" out the room are lacking in some levels of accuracy
