I've slept. Feeling better now, though need to face an hour each way in the car to go and view 2 possibles and 3 'vehicle models' which are right except for the fact they are manuals not automatics. But 5 vehicles at one garage is too good an opportunity to miss talking me. Usually it is just 1 or 2...
So yesterday. Must write it up in the my ride today. But I had my first flat tyre ironically second after offering to help a young lady who was pushing her bike up a hill and whose chain had come off. Still she was able to push the trike off the road and up onto the pavement into the share for me which was up a steep incline away from the road. She was most concerned about me having 'broken down' but I declined her kind offer of pushing the trike to her house and instead waited for my husband to come and pick me up which was about 30 minutes.
Being a man he ignored my suggestion of fixing the flat at the side of the quiet road and decided it would be easier to fold the trike and take it home in the car. Luckily we keep the wheelchair in the car so he got that out for me to sit in. There followed about an hour of him slowly reaching the conclusion that he was going to have to take off more and more to get the trike into the car. This ranged from both front wheels to the mobility aids, the seat the strong arms etc.... BTW it was one of the front wheels that had the flat. A very sudden I'm flat in the space of 5m flat tyre... He ended up fixing the flat...
having never quite managed to get the trike into the car with our without the back seats down. He refused downright to remove the rear wheel which was preventing him from folding the frame flat enough to get into the boot or shortening the boom.... I cycled home very cautiously (I was at the top of a long fast downhill just before my lane) with him following in the car and me cursing trying to adjust everything back to hour I had it. I feel like someone has been driving my 'car'!
Ironically I carry everything to remove wheels, collapse the trike and fix fairy visits... It needs 2 Allen keys to remove the front wheels. Both a 5mm and a 6mm....
He's learnt a lesson. We really need that estate vehicle and sooner rather than later. I wonder why I have been pestering him to view vehicles every weekend... Yesterday ironically was the first time I had succeeded in getting him out to view 2! There were 5 on his list but 2 sold whilst he was viewing the first 2 and he missed the motorway junction for the 5th.. He was on his way to view a 6th when I rang him!

I'm going to drink another coffee and then clean another chain on another bike, this one could take a while and there could well be a light and shadow photo or two

After a very short ride along the beach to Sainsburys, because i cannot go a day at home without seeing the sea, and before the downpour started we have consumed sausage sarnies and are drinking beer watching all the cycling programmes before Paris. I must confess that Fabian has a rival to the best bod in Lycra from his fellow countryman Mattais Frank
I am also contemplating my next photo entry and cycle routes for this week.
