Afternoon work visit and felt for half a dozen touring cyclist laden with panniers approaching not particularly fast the climb of Scarah Bank north west of Ripley. A typical non constant gradient and getting steeper as it goes on.
Post WAH a Co-op trek for a TV guide, oranges and ciabatta rolls.

rewatching a movie for the umpteenth time

They still end up getting shot as they leave the building. Watching it again won't change that.

We just woke up in a log cabin by a lake in a forest.

Where did you go to sleep!

Lovely day again. I went for a nice 40 mile bike ride after work.

I decided to use my Dawes Galaxy and just remembered why I don't ride it very much. A Brooks saddle is required. Dawes must have had a spite at their customers when they fitted that hateful thing. My posterior is hurting.

Time for my usual Friday pie and chips.

My alarm is set for 02:00 for the next two days 😢

Oh my. Respect!

Grrr.

MrsF has been moaning one of her sewing machines isn't winding the bobbins. I know nothing about them, but I've replaced a motor on one of her freehand quilting machines - it's like bikes in our house, she has more machines than I have bikes, and some are DI2 - i.e. electronic computers with touch screens.

Anyway, I've just removed half a million screws to undo the covers and, as I'm moving the machine, I 'pull' on the big wheel, and it moved to a different 'position'. Call MrsF over, why does it do this ?. Oh.... she then realises that machine needs the main wheel pulling out to engage the drive for the bobbin winder, her other machines don't need this step. She'd 'forgotten'.

So, nothing was wrong with it, and I've half a million screws to put back in.

Double Grrr

Been there. Share your pain

Today's was: the garden tap won't turn off!
Well it would if you turned it the correct way.

Followed up with "my computer is very slow"

Have you ever closed a window or saved a file? And what is all this stuff running in the background?

What stuff?
