Oh but you are Andy.

Beautiful Wife cut my hair, and she'd have commented if it was that bad...

Sun's out but chilly and windy

Sun took his hat off about 2 hours ago which coincided with me bringing firewood in from my dwindling stack.

 

[randynewmanscat]

Be fair if it had gone into Stuttgart it would have come out sleeker and faster.

Okay, the indicators would have been disconnected, but still...

OK I give in to the exception that proves the rule. It wouldn't last long in Rotterdam, first tagged in Feyenoord colours and later the victim of arson.

Munsters on promo, 5.79 for 500g. Next time I shop for essentials I'll be noting that.

 

[Reynard]

Bright, breezy and bloody cold here chez Casa Reynard.

Anyways, pootled about doing things around the house this morning, and after an early lunch, went yellow stickering in Tesco. I now possess a rather large quantity of fruit, vegetables and potatoes, all stickered, likewise crumpets, Belgian buns and smoked fish. None of the regulars were there, so I had first dibs on everything.

Am currently having a celebratory

 

[Reynard]

Yes, although only half a one as it's shared with my son. It's partially re-built and in progress.

Now we can have one each

Anyway, all set up and off to the first race of the year for my son. In April! It's snowing outside and it's a TT !

Ah, well one each makes perfect sense to me. You can't each ride half a bike.

Did you manage to spread that rear triangle successfully in the end?

No wonder, tis a rare thing to have the cream of the markdown gun to yourself.
They are stingy here, 30% seems to be the maximum.

Normal, all three factors together. I did a 25 one Sunday morning in early April a lifetime ago and did not bring gloves, just track mitts, no hat either.
My brain hurt after 20 minutes and the slush was jetting up onto my back.

Ooh! I like the new Beeb programme it's a sort of "Un Repair Shop". It looks like they have used "Ex perts " who were rejected from doing Money for Nothing and made a programme around them . They convert people's prized possessions into ?
It's a good job they didn't get hold of my bike as it would be unrecognisable .

 

[Andy in Germany]

Still snowing.

The temperature was close to freezing with a very cold strong crosswind = minus 5-10 degrees. Several riders were in shorts and one with no gloves and a short-sleeve skinsuit. He didn't look well at the end.

Cold, crosswinds and a hilly course didn't suit my son. He'll hope for better next week but the one positive was the bike's finally working properly.

Not yet but we're awaiting the wheels being built. It's in progress ...

Only a 60litre cold water tank.. I used to have a 6' local marine tank when I lived by the sea. Now that was fun!!
