Strange peeps those gardening brothers! Wanting to dance on polished wooden floors .
At school we loved laying on our backs and propelling ourselves around the floor a bit like paddle steamers .

Nice trike run this morning mostly before the traffic built up. Got my clothing mostly right but could have managed with shorts instead of the bikesters.
Birdlife almost completely absent and only a buzzard circling around for a while.
Stopped at a parking spot for the Angling Club to let a large motorhome pass and got waylaid by a pattermerchant who chattered on about emotors for bikes and fancy expensive wheels he had bought. No signs of a bike tho' as he only had a very small car.
Sat for a while in peace and silence while waiting on the service bus to Dervaig to pass as I prefer to wait for it rather than meet it on some inconvenient spot.
Traffic building up by the time I escaped from the aforementioned pattermerchant.

I caused chaos and confusion a couple of years ago by shaving off my beard, half my friends didn't reconize me and the other half knew something was different but couldn't work out what it was.

When I lost weight 11 years ago quite a few people didn't recognise me. That was helpful when it was the ones I wanted to avoid

Currently I'm sat in Liverpool airport, waiting for son no. 2's flight from Brussels. It's late. I hope his bike box is on the plane and gets to us, although he apparently couldn't get both wheels in so we'll pick the missing ones plus a spare he's left from his team at some point.

Results -wise the race didn't go well as he was a DNF, but stayed upright and is getting fitter after COVID.

I've had a nice girly pamper session. Hair has been washed and blow dried, and my legs are now decidedly more aerodynamic. I also smell rather fetchingly of coconut and lychee.

Nice shiny new camshaft position sensor collected from the motor factors and fitted. The car has shown its appreciation of this lavish care and attention by behaving the exact same way as it did before - wildly fluctuating idle speed, stalling and driving with the performance characteristics of a Fordson Super Major

Back to the drawing board and fault reader thingy at the weekend. I miss my lovely, simple 1990s Peugeot.

Have you checked the spark plugs @tyred ?

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I can’t get Molly to eat She hasn’t eaten since Monday. Took her to the vet yesterday and they thought she felt constipated so gave her fluids and a enema but I’ve still no joy getting her to eat. I still have some pate type consistency food in the cupboard. I’m even thinking about mushing some up with warm water and syringing it just to get something into her.

Is there an idle control valve? One of those sticking can give similar problems . Revving up stopped at traffic lights , accelerating when trying to slow down going into bends and roundabouts and stalling .

 

[Andy in Germany]

Yes.

Still there then.

(ETA: I wouldn't know where to look, btw,)

I gave our cat Gwen some Salmon type yogurt for cats on my finger which she licked off . I had to do it for several days before she would eat properly .
