It's quite surprising how much you can get done when the weather's miserable and cycling is curtailed. There was even time to improve the aerodynamics on all of my bikes with a simple tool...

Spoiler: Aerodynamic aid

What’s it like outside?

What the house or ??

Just scanning through the TV and saw Dr Who is on...with the Cybermen.
As a youngster in the late 60s, early 70s...the cybermen used to sh1t me up....I mean seriously.
If I needed the loo while it was on, I'd run upstairs, pee as fast as I could then tear downstairs , frightened to death

Not Dr Who and the Cider Men ?

I have been trying to wrap a box up in cardboard for posting. Schrodie has been helping me ! . I cut the cardboard into two pieces and gave him one ,but he decided that mine was much nicer !
I eventually managed to finish it without his help .
I thought that I would wind down by watching the BBC Agatha Christie Pale Horse . I watched a couple of minutes of it before switching off. I couldn't stand the going back and forth bits . Didn't they learn from the War of the World's fiasco !

I had some vegetarian garlic sausage on a butty about 2 hours ago. I feel . I keep tasting the very strong garlic taste. Surely it must be flavouring and not real garlic for it to be so strong? My fridge stinks of the stuff. I don't mind the smell,just the aftertaste.

Yet another howling bloody gale and weather warnings! DO I get the rollers out again? For the bike not my hair! The hair blew away years ago. Seriously over this shyte weather!

I had to get my chain out of it's overnight soak in petrol. Didn't fancy doing it outdoors in this weather...... Wish I had. Strong smell of petrol in the air now!

Looks about the same here. Fortunately the Bakfiets has a cover so Beautiful Daughter will remain dry and warm on the way to Kindy.

Unfortunately I don't fit under the cover as well, but that's what leather Akubra hats were made for...

Morning . It is grey out but dry .
We could have done without the surprise that was awaiting me this morning. The kitchen was covered in black feathers.
Schrodie the culprit was nowhere to be seen ! He eventually turned up wanting cuddles. I didn't give him any as he was a bad boy.
I assumed that he had taken the bird out . A little while later I noticed a worried Schrodie staring towards the back door. I went to investigate! I saw a very tatty looking Blackbird flapping around . I tried to catch it but it flew over my head and ended up being chased by Schrodie. I managed to get Schrodie and locked him in the living room .
It is amazing how a bird can hide when it wants to . The bird eventually escaped to freedom . We couldn't catch it.
The clean up operation was next .

Two cups of tea this morning, I watched the end of Bargain Hunt, complete train crash this episode. Frankie-Two-Chews is asleep on my lap. She doesn’t yet know that she has to go to the V.E.T., later this morning.

Raining heavily here, but only a very gentle breeze. The dogs looked out the back door and tried to run back into the living room. I did get them outside eventually. Not for long though. I don't blame them.
