Currently baffled by an advert that keeps appearing here for "France's Premier Self Guided Bicycle Tours"

Where can I get one of these self guided bicycles ?

Be handy for returning from the pub

I use the self-guided tour system that involves following my nose.

I was just outside vacuuming the interior of my car thinking how wonderful it was that it came with a pistol grip so that I could shoot any aliens that happened to land next to me and totally useless for use in a confined space !

Very wet and squelchy morning here, so nipped off to the LBS for a cone spanner (which didn't go to plan as I forgot what size I wanted) and thence Tesco, as I was in the area, to pick up a few bits and bobs that they'd been out of stock on last week.

YS cabinets were rammed with stuff, so would've been good pickings later. Didn't succumb (though there was some nice ribeye and half sides of salmon) as I want to run down the fridge as much as I can before going on Monday arvo.

Have a chicken casserole simmering away in the crock pot that's using up the cooked chicken thighs I bought last week along with all the random oddments of old veg that were lurking in the fridge.

Now sat here watching Williams vs Carter

Probably - suspect the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy at play here...

My lawn tractor started right up for me today. I didn't know how to react. Glad it started, Herr Gutwein is coming to fix my garage door this afternoon. It needed to be moved.

Gyro for lunch. Like a Doner Kebab on pita bread.

Am reading this as Lawn Tractor 1-0 Garage Door. If that's the case, hopefully no other casualties. Chainsaws and runaway tractors, this gardening malarkey is far too dangerous....

No, just that the tractor was near the front of the garage, where the door torsion springs are. I'm still quite chuffed that the mower started, even with the broken torsion spring news. Luckily for me, my tractor can't run away, it requires constant pressure on a dead man pedal to operate.

Phew! Recall having an up and over garage door jam half open on a snowy winter day. Wasn't fun sorting that out...

Same here, makes me miss the barn doors of the good old days, and the drone of the Massey Fergusson, and the farm girl in the hayloft, and cetera....

Morning. Where's the sunshine I was promised ! It's gone grey .

I see there are a lot of cyclist's in Yorkshire today !
