No bike again today. I tried the last two daya , but my back doesn't seem to be getting much better,
I hope this isn't the beginning of the end of bike riding , as far as my spine is concerned

No, but I might prescribe a recumbent, along with a beard, and some beer. They all seem to go together in my experience.

I've got the beard and the bad back, but I haven't got the recumbent yet.

I was woken early by the bin men emptying the recycling. They always do the loudest one as early as possible!!
Fingers crossed for a good recovery.

You know I have always wanted to try one - a recumbent that is (I can't grow a beard for toffee, although I do know my way around a glass)
Trouble is, you couldn't use a recumbent around here, as all the silly control gates on the cycle route are too small to get one though. You can't even get a pushchair through some of them.

Love it.
Now I just need something to get it up and down my rather steep steps - or move to a bungalow

Whilst running an errand today (collecting 8 packs of 12 pouches of cat food, a fortnights worth) from Wilco I had to pop into Aldi on the way back for some Haddock fillets, whilst in there I espied some "Glen Marnoch" Islay 'Limited Release' Single Malt at a good price so for the purposes of research I bought a bottle. Not bad although after 'googling' it I agreed with this reviewer,

It does taste like a 'cask strength' that was probably sold for blending but Aldi added water to drop it to 40% and bottled it.

My daughter rang my wife this morning saying that she had popped round her friends house and clipped a low kerb. 2 inches high it had taken a chunk out of the side wall.
She was going to put the spare on but thought it was bald. She rang a tyre company who wanted to charge £140 just for the call out. Guess who had to go and play.
I managed to jack the car up and removed the wheel. The kerb looked quite inoffensive, low with a blunt edge but the tyre had a hole I could push my finger through. Budget tyre!
I took the wheel away and had a new one fitted. This is when the fun started. Trying to lift a large heavy wheel up whilst I tried to fit the bolts. For some reason the wheel wouldn't locate on the step on the hub making the whole a lot more difficult as the wheel kept slipping down. There was some muttering going on about " Vorsprung Duck Technique"!

In Sainsburys this afternoon, absolutely nothing happening regarding Children In Need, normally they are strong supporters but not this year in fact it seems quite low key in general this year.
