It’s an odd one. Card on the Booths noticeboard said “Raleigh racing bike frame£30” so I rang, not expecting much .Bloke didn’t know much, was his brothers, went to see it and first thing I noticed was chrome forks and stays, then the sloping 531 transfer. Frame no. Says late Worksop 1979 year but can’t find an exact match in any catalogues. Racy-looking geometry but mudguard eyes. Can only guess a special build.

So now I’ve finished assembling it, mixture of bits I had lying about, some NOS and brand new bits like the chain. Most expensive single spend? The spokes. Though that may change if I decide I like him enough to give him a respray.

At very short notice, I am going to be on holiday for the next five days.

I will be staying in a house with a lovely sunny garden, with some shade and a cooling breeze. Instead of paying rent, I will looking after two cats, and watering some plants.

Bike has been washed, rinsed and dried. Once I've lubed it, it'll be back under its sheet in the bike shed.

My Tesla owning neighbour runs his charge cable across the pavement.

He also always turns in way too fast into the car park and cuts right across the stop line where anyone waiting to pull out would be waiting. I come to several possible conclusions -

A. Teslas have impossibly heavy steering (in which case slow down).

B. Teslas have very poor brakes (in which case anticipate and slow down earlier).

C. Teslas suffer from chronic understeer (in which case slow down).

Or D. This particular Tesla is driven by an impatient, selfish twit. 🤔

Powered by hugs, I've fixed the pesky bludger - the ARC functionality on the soundbar wasn't enabled.

Cool, grey and breezy here chez Casa Reynard. Well it's still about 24 degrees, but it *feels* cool.

Slept really well for once. Have spent the morning writing and have undertaken some personal maintenance tasks. Also laundered the throws and cushion covers our neighbour sat on yesterday as we kept on getting this whiff of a rather rancid aroma.

He's only a little bit older than mum, but the contrast between them is absolutely startling. I get the feeling that his nieces are not getting him the care he needs for financial reasons, but then again, he has always been stubborn... I am staying well away from this one.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon. One of the furry madams is reminding me that it is "ham time"

I have arrived. No traffic delays, and not much to unpack.

Fresh scones with butter, watching the Tdf.

@tyred - I think you know the answer

And if he's causing an obstruction with the cable I'd advise you to unplug it for safety reasons
