Trivial things that please you beyond all expectations

One of the greatest inventions since the safety bicycle.

Really? There's always something to lean a bike up against?

Probably, but I'm lazy, so not having to look for something is nice too.

I vacuum cleaned my car, outside my flat yesterday evening. I had to do it before the nights draw in, when I won't be able to see. I last did it on the Saturday after the clocks went forward last March. I intended to do it every month or so this summer, but laziness got the better of me. Anyway, It wasn't that grubby as I have a small brush and pan in my car which I use most days. Cut grass from my shoes is the main culprit, followed by tree droppings falling in through my rolled down roof. I'm just glad I vacuumed it last night and I can now rest happily. The next time I do it will probably be next March.

Yeah but won't he/she have an assigned tell tale to keep him/her informed? 🤔

My daughter did our van last night on preparation for taking her and her friends to Wales on the weekend...I wonder if a boys involved...?!😍

Nonsense. Or you never ride to the places other cyclists ride - often all the good places are taken.
(I prefer to lay mine on the ground than lean it somewhere vulnerable.)

I looked lovingly at my bike, noting that I've never needed to vacuum its carpets. :smug:

Nah, it's just the two of us for the most part and I never hide anything from him anyway, always best policy ,I think.

I never have a problem being brutally honest with him, and that's the problem, I shouldn't have to

My daughter has some male friends coming for Sunday lunch in a couple of weeks time.
I've been thinking of some topics of conversation...

Airbus Vs Boeing airliners
A4 Vs Mallard+ Type 37 Vs 43
Seddon atkinson Vs folden trucks.
Raleigh Vs Dawes touring bikes 1975 - 1985
Buzzards Vs red kites

Any other thrilling subjects I should research??

A few cigars and it's about time to dust off the slippers.....

Assume your daughter is more towards middle age? I’m in my 30s and I wouldn’t have any replies to those potential conversations as they don’t interest me in the slightest.

What about technology; AI, good sound systems etc? Broad topics but wide enough to get into a discussion.
