Mmmm, that was a very enjoyable supper - I haven't had a fry up for a little while, and it kind of scratched an itch. I added those big portobello mushrooms and roasted baby plum tomatoes to the bacon & eggs, as well as a and a couple of slices of home made bread.

Not a proper fry up without Black Pudding

It looks rather grey outside.

Do I go to get the bread now or later?

Decisions, decisions...

Never put off 'til tomorrow, something you should be doing today,
or you'll end up putting off your whole life away.

Possibly, but to help find out/answer, consider the following
Is she from the east of the West Riding.
Can she sing to earn her supper.
Would she be at home on the high seas.

No to all.

 

[classic33]

No to all.

Two seperate women then. Has to be, no other explanation.

Or Quantum. Never discount Quantum as a possible complex explanation for entirely simple situations.

Phew that was a bit exhausting. I only did 6 miles but it felt more like 18 . I took the Apollo CX10 for a test ride . I had to turn back after a short distance as the bars started to rotate in the clamp . I went back home and made a thin shim out of aluminium sheet and tightened the bolt right up . My second ride felt better. The riding position is more upright. The forks are more or less straight and I had to be careful as the front wheel can catch your toes when turning . The gearing is a bit strange ! I couldn't find a gear which suited me . It was either too high or too low . The riding position is a bit like a scrambler with the upright position and the steering is very direct. I have discovered that I don't like flat bars as my hands started to tingle , I prefer drops where I can keep moving around .

Is it a 'Jump' spec bike, my Saracen is like a motocrosser without an engine. It orignally looked like this

but a few 'mods.and a custom made 600mm seatpost turned it into this

Bit wet here. Occasional glimpses of sunshine, interspersed with very heavy rain and hail.

Still, mild and grey here chez Casa Reynard, but the sun is *trying* to break through the cloud cover. How long this will last, I don't know, as the horizon is very dark and hazy.

I did take advantage of the dry morning to cut some grass, so the garden does look a lot neater. Although I've left the big drifts of forget-me-nots as they're so pretty. I always wait till they've run to seed before cutting those.

Am hoping to be able to pick up the car from the garage at tea time, although that's dependent on whether they've finished fitting the brakes and whether it's raining or not.

Well, the sunshine that was there when I started to swap the tyres on my bike for 'nice weather' riding and give it a proper Springtime 'wheels off' clean was cut short by a heavy hailstorm...
Once it passes, I'll get all the bits back out of the shed and finish the job.
