This morning I am in need of a nose plumber. I seem to have sprung a leak.

First cuppa went down well.
Brisk walk back from local garage after dropping off the car for its annual service and MOT.

Good morning from yet again sunny Suffolk where the first coffee of the day has only just been finished due to a very good night's sleep. Breakfast next, a bit of faffing around while trying to decide which bike to use and then I'm off to Stowmarket to pick up the click & collect order and have a spot of lunch while in town.

Second cuppa was too hot
Slice of toast and peanut butter was ok
Washing now drying nicely outside on the whirly gig

I lived not terribly far from the town library, which was a gift from Andrew Carnegie. Replaced by the current one after Sen. Dirksen died, and has a congressional research center as well. I also grew up in a house with a library, tho.(Currently reading Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson)

I did a lot of study in a Carnegie library. That was near my home, in Cardiff. Partly to avoid the domestic scene, for knowledge and partly the young lady librarians.

Overcast and breezy today. Did a mostly offroad 25 mile loop through the Pentlands this morning.

Nice ride out and package collected, sunny and almost no wind with 40 miles completed for a trip that could be done in under 25 Currently enjoying a very cold beer as a recovery drink.

What is it with the Chinese based eBay sellers drop shipping from the UK? I want to try one of the Android Auto add on units in my car and there's plenty on sale for £24.99 so I stuck in an offer for £24 on one for account neatness. They replied with an offer for...£23.99

Don't try Temu They'll want you enter some lottery, gamble, price reduction tosh.
Then show you a site where the item is still cheaper.
Fuels the perception of Chinese as being gambling mad.

No intention of trying Temu - AliExpress is just as bad

So, while I was at the dentist this afternoon and she was busy studying a couple of x-rays, I asked her where she'd been for her holidays. It was a sort of revenge question.

maybe I will try that, this afternoon, when it's my turn
