I've been given a job !
To mow the lawn !
Can you nip over and do mine when you've finished yours?

I was reminded by a fellow member that I was spending far too much time out on my bikes enjoying myself when I had other projects on the go ! 
I wonder who that could be ?
So after being persuaded that the lawn was too wet I set about digging my Triple Ace out. I had a good look at the frame and put that back for another day. I checked the spokes on the rear wheel and then set about stripping the brake drum down. The drum isn't as bad as the front which was rusty , so I have been cleaning up the internal bits and shoes.
I'm going to have some yum yums now .

We get the best of both worlds: an attic flat with a stunning view: no maintenance but a thousand square km of backyard.

Now I'm feeling guilty about the lack of reported progress on the touring bike... Will have to rectify this.

I have just had tinned spaghetti hoops on toast! Whilst I was stirring the hoops in the saucepan I gave the mixture a taste . Very bland! 
So I added a couple of large dollops of tomato ketchup to unblandify it ! It tasted just like it used to !

We have a lovely camelia in our back garden which is getting on a bit and at some point will be removed from our garden, rather than buy a new one I was thinking of taking cuttings, according to Google I could try putting the cuttings in water which is good because we don't have rooting compound etc... Any thoughts?

I do not use rooting compound of any sort. Carol Klein has written an excellent book called "Grow Your Own Garden", which you might find at your Library.
There are so many variables in growing cuttings, like temperature, hours of daylight etc, that it is a good idea to take lots of cuttings at different times of the year.

I found a video that you might find very helpful. She doesn't use rooting compound either.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...411FB4EA9EBE01A9B5B0411FB4EA9EBE&&FORM=VRDGAR

That is pretty much what I thought, perhaps water isn't a good idea after all. We are looking to buy some bedding plants next weekend so may take a look at buying a pot to give it a go. Thank you

Wifes had nearly 3 weeks off, I was working Bank holiday Friday AND today with just Saturday and Sunday off. Friday and today at work was pitifully quiet...almost depressing knowing everyone's been on a long weekend enjoying themselves.
I'm not going in tomorrow...boss doesnt know yet...book me a days holiday will be the message this evening.

Managed to get Mrs MY out for a bike ride for the first time in six months! Less than 3 miles but an achievement.
On the downside her SA gears weren't working, a problem now fixed.
edit: Double checked, and it was 18 months!
