Oh! So it is

I don't think we'll be making snowmen though

I don't think we'll be making snowmen though

Too wet? It would also require going outside which I have no intention of doing!

I've just trial fitted some spare wheels into my Raleigh project. I think it will all work out fine. I was worried whoever had completely trashed the originals might have bent the frame in the process but it is all nice and true.

A bona-fide Nottingham frame

Pioneer Jaguar - can anyone date this. I'm assuming early '90s?

Lightweight! A bit of poetic licence used by the Raleigh marketing team I think. I've seen worse but it's definitely far from a lightweight frame.

Whoever fitted the rear brake cable didn't really understand the concept of how brake cables work

I don’t like adulting sometimes and so that’s why I don’t understand the forecasts then. Makes sense now!

32 F here, expecting 50 for a high. Cloudy, as it always is here when it warms up in the winter. We seem to be over the worst of winter, now time for french toast and bacon atmo.

I have discovered, by accident today, that if you make the legs of a pair of trousers narrower, and you make the waist smaller by taking in the waistband, it may make the trousers the right length, rather than too long. If you have assumed that they will be too long by about two inches, and did not exactly match the bottom hems of the sides you have taken in, you may have to redo the hems anyway, to keep them the same length as before. Or turn them up by a miniscule amount.

Yes I know that no one else would notice, I but I know there is a quarter inch difference. And yes, I had ironed them flat before making those adjustments.

They say you learn from your mistakes.
