There's a great tit somewhere outside that's repeatedly singing the opening phrase of a Mozart piece but I can't remember which one. A symphony, I think.

Got it! Symphony No. 40. Imagine the repeated opening phrase again and again...

I used to visit the Alexander brewery in Moss Side. Parking on site in the loading area by the brew house I was distracted by a reversing alarm. I stopped to have a 360° look around to check for a lorry but saw nothing moving.
A man idling on the loading deck knew what it was and thought it funny that another sucker had fallen for the reversing tone bird. I was suitably amazed.

Bitsas for supper tonight. Finished off with some american style pancakes * doused in butter and maple syrup.

Made with the leftover batter from the other night's apple fritters.

Yeah, did all the various states of discomfort thing in the autumn back when I built the bike. The SMP saddles are just a bit too wide and just a bit too padded. And I'm not a fan of the nose either, although my lady bits are quite happy thanks to the cut out, I must say.

Am going to bite the bullet and import a Charge Ladle from the US via the Bay of E.

There's a reason why I have one on my road bike and one on my hybrid.

That's Lapsang Souchong.

My dad used to like it. Me? I couldn't get the appeal of tea that tasted like the bottom of dad's ashtray...

You often tasted the bottom of ashtrays to be able to narrow it to one!

My dad was a heavy smoker. Everything used to be redolent of fag ash

Evening all !
I bought some bits for the bike I'm doing up this morning . All seemed to be going well until this afternoon when I noticed that he cranks weren't at 180 degrees, they were about 5 degrees off. The cranks have cotter pins.

That's a spoon, not a ladle... That'll be like sitting on a knife for me!

Just collected some scaffolding from a pal of mine. Looks very good stuff, all clicks together and will reach high enough for what I want. To be honest, I'd rather not spend the next few days going up and down it, but I had arranged to collect it and didn't want to back out.

Fair enough. Never had any real problems with a saddle, bar on exercise bikes where they tend to be too wide.

My local church was open for personal space, prayer and reflection so I went in for half an hour or so during my walk.

Maguire goal woke me up just as I was nodding off.
