I'm just back a 4.9 mile walk, sadly without a pooch. Haven't had one for nearly 6 years now. We have lots of blackberries too but they are a bit small this year no doubt due to the lack of rain to swell them.

Unfortunately I'm unable to walk my dog at present. I haven't had one for 40 years.

Well that was simple ! 
It only took us 2 hours to set up the new front changer on my brother's bike ! Part of it was due to my brother's insistence on following the instructions . The instructions said that the brake lever gear change should change up onto the larger ring with 3 clicks . We could do it in 4. It seemed as though there was a false neutral a couple of times. Down tube friction shifters are less of a problem . We eventually got it to change up with 3 clicks by putting more tension on the cable .

Likely just need a reset, a simple obd2 bluetooth reader and an app like torque will sort it (in most cases)

Went up to the local Farm with Beautiful Daughter, and we saw three dark storms heading towards us. Raced her back down the hill to the Apartment and we got inside just as the rain started hitting the skylights...

Turned out not too bad today although a bit windy and now beginning to look like rain again.
The holiday home opposite has a steel chimney sticking up which spoils my view. It is now at a 45 degree angle but it is not that windy. Mysterious.
Spat on FB.
Settler complains "Fish farm workers are driving too fast and I am absolutely furious that a pickup splashed mud on my car as it drove past"
Considered response from fish farm workers " Aw diddums"
Cue screams of rage.
Saw some sand martins in front of my house today for the first time in a couple years. Swallow have vanished as all their nest sites in farm buildings have been converted into holiday houses. I thought the sand martins had probably been ejected by crowds of tourists disturbing their nest site and probably poking cameras into the burrows. There is another nest site not too obvious so they may have reestablished.

Sometimes one of my cats follows me out into the field and we walk together for about 100 yards.
