Just been spending an interesting morning finally tackling the 'storage' in the loft at long last.
Fair few things either binned, recycled , or to be charity shopped as appropriate.
Now to type up a list of what's left that will be 'staying' up there until needed.
'Found' a microwave that had been up there about fifteen years and even better, my Revell 1/24 scale Routemaster Bus kit which I'd completely lost track of; something for those winter evenings - !
The GLW now has ALL her 'spare' clothes down, so ball in her court to sort.

@simongt - that's what we did last year. It's meant a massive clear-out.

My laundry mesh bags finally broke last week, so I ordered some new ones.

I'm sure it will interest members that the new bags zips are colour coded to show the size.

Indeed. Very satisfying isn't it - !
My neighbour said today that he has to do the same, but he's going to need a skip - !

Who turned the cold fan on? My ride to Tadcaster this morning was face-on into a cold headwind

I did a circular route and had no head wind at all 🤔

Once I've cooked tea, the rest of the day will be spent with my feet up. Just over 9 miles and just under 18,000 steps into Felixstowe and back with a meander around the car, truck, bus & bike displays along the seafront. At one point during the walk in, I watched a marshal hold up traffic so that one part of the display could leave their rendezvous point and travel as a group to the display area and out of the side road came a couple of dozen Sinclair C5s.

Very breezy, chilly and a couple of light showers passing through so I'm glad I took a lightweight coat.

Just been round to a friend's to drop off a loaf of olive bread, a jar of marmalade and a jar of raspberry jam. Three of her cats decided it would be fun to sit in my basket. The cats and the dogs all got treats from their Auntie Reynard.

Now sat down with a and a chocolate muffin.

My sister popped round earlier with her four year old son for some repairs to one of his comfort blankets. It's a small blanket with ribbon tags on it, and they were worn out, so wanted to take it to his aunty for repair. He was rather upset when it started to fall to bits, but is a happy little lad now.

I bought a bike.

Is this a symptom.

Within a couple of metres of home I found a bike for sale.

My pretext was having a bike for visitors.

Now I can dismantle a cassette and get it back together. Thanks to YouTube.

But the rear wheel bearings are a ball short.
Now I don't need packs of hundreds.
Am I about to start a collection of sundry spare bits?

I no longer have a bike. I have a selection of parts and pieces.
They are sorted into usable and to be replaced.

Now I'm wondering if I want to get the frame painted whilst I have the chance.
Of course I will have to find a local artisan to sand blast, treat and paint.
Then, what colour or effect suits the bike and me?
How much money should I be prepared to pour down this amusing black hole?
