Sewing Bee, pah. Almost invisible repair of my ripped bib tights after I fell off my MTB at Gisburn. And, before you ask, I did it.

You'll all be pleased to know that the recycling has been taken away and I've done my bit to fill it up again. My tyres have been pumped up with a track pump and I've recalibrated the pressure alarm. This means there are no orange lights on the dashboard any more and it doesn't show me a big flat tyre every time I switch the motor on.

And I've just had a fry up. It probably serves me right for having a very healthy Müsli for breakfast.

Lovely ride in the sun this afternoon. Pockets of ice here in there where shaded from sun by banked lanes.

I went out for a ride this afternoon . I had swapped bikes so I thought I would try my Carlton Clubman .
I wasn't too sure if I should be going out as I was a bit woozy yesterday . It was nice and sunny but cold . I thought I would see if my pace the other day was a one off . I set off quite fast and was gasping after 1.8 miles. Head wind. I stopped for under a minute to get my breath back before setting off again . Perhaps I shouldn't have gone out today . . I pressed on with a couple more breath stops and completed 8 miles at an average speed of 14mph . Not too bad for how I was feeling . I think the wind must have been in my favour the other day . It was nice to give a different bike a ride .

Just updated the operating system on my android. It's going to be a rollercoaster year!

Correct me if I am wrong but are cumberland sausages full of fatty bits ?
Our local butcher (2 miles away) does lovely leek and pork sausages

Calmac have just put out a warning that I may not get home tomorrow tho’ there does not seem anything untoward in the local forecasts. They are rumoured to use the Tiree forecast but nobody seems willing to admit that.
Tiree people are recognisable on mainland as they all have a forward lean when walking as the wind there usually keeps them upright.

Somewhat chilly last night to the extent that I didn't sleep too well. As a result I put on a higher tog duvet when I changed the bedding this morning. The good news that it was a bright and sunny day, but the bitterly cold wind made it hard going on the way in to work this afternoon.

Just over a couple of hours to go and I'm hoping that it stays above zero until I get home.

Errands run, cat fed, and now time to feed me.

 

[Reynard]

Is a cat woman onesie not acceptable dress code in town, then? 🤔

No.

Well put it this way, the onesies don't go out of the gate.

The postman has just delivered a Christmas card for us and a tesco club card points letter for not us. Not even the same street!

Was it at least in the right county?

There's only three streets with the same name as the one I'm on. The other two are in seperate counties.

 

[Reynard]

Had soup, a roast pork & mustard sandwich, a and a clementine and some raspberries to finish.
