Fair play, it made me laugh too.
So this is my morning.
1) Go to check tyres on bike and snap valve off back wheel.
2) Swear and call self an idiot, put bike in shed as self does not want to change inner tube without Him Indoors being there.
3) Call self a pathetic excuse for a woman and that self should woman up and do it her self.
4) Take cup of tea, multitool and phone outside and start to take wheel off while following instructions from 'net and remembering what Him Indoors taught self.
5) Replace inner tube and swear at weakness of stupid thumbs as tyre will not go on properly.
6) Use tyre levers and smile as suddenly it all pops together.
7) Reinflate inner tube remembering to be gentle with valve so it doesn't break.
8) Put wheel back on, put chain back on gear cog thingy and reconnect brakes.
9) Swear when self cannot close quick release lever and if self loosens it, brakes rub on rims.
10) Finally close it and ring Brother in Law to come and check handiwork later before self rides it, as Him Indoors is not home until Friday.

Apparently my parcel will be delivered between 9.41 and 10.41am. I'd better tend to my morning ablutions. Don't want to scare the poor man.

I am going somewhere totally different to where I posted earlier. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !! These unpredicted texts putting worms in my mouth!
What I was going to say is that I stepped out of a lovely warm shower and a large cold Giraffe hit me! I could have sworn it wasn't there when I got in.

First time on your own is always the hardest.
Have you been smoking something funny?
Certainly was, last time I had a flat tyre on a bike my Dad did it for me, that was probably about 1989!

Rough today. Went to bed after I got in from work. Not so sure how I'll manage next week. Felt OK at work, but started to feel worse as I drove home. Neck and shoulders are very sore.
A very gentle
, I hope it eases for you.

I am. Just 3 half days next week, then will try and do a bit more, building to 5 half days, then start doing full days, slowly building to full time. I've got over 6 weeks holidays accrued to cover the part time. I've got until the end of August to get back to full time.

Yes to both. I've seen about 9 or 10 tornadoes in 5+ decades, but I do photograph weather phenomena. I think Mrs. GA has only seen two or three. Folks always talk about tornadoes occurring with thunderstorms, dropping from wall clouds after heavy rain and hail, but sometimes, they just seem to happen. One time I was just at a bratwurst stand ordering lunch and a funnel cloud(tornado not reaching the ground) formed over the building across the street, and came toward us. It dissipated before it got to the ground, or did any damage, but it would have been ironic had it done so."Area Man Killed by Tornado while Waiting for Bratwurst"
