Tired, its Friday

Time for a

Morning. It is a lovely bright sunny start to the day here, it's that enticing it even makes me think of going for a ride, except that I have to get ready for my first visit to the hospital to start my treatment. I'm going to have a tattoo!

A certain flyee peep company seems to be doing well in it's meteoric rise in the popularity stakes going from number 1 spot to the low 20's. I wonder if they are looking at their graph upside down?

I have removed a pedal off two of my bikes. I know this may have compromised my anti theft device but I needed to get to my bench.

Trying to get my head around one pedal two bikes.

I couldn't understand why my GP (see what I did there???) would ring me at the weekend. I had a jet-lagged conviction that I would arrive at Gatwick on a Tuesday. In fact it was a Sunday. It's very confusing anyway. Should I be eating oily fish to increase my failing mental powers?

Might mean World Domination may take a bit longer.

The Today we were on Yesterday isn't the same one as the Today we're on today however. But it's still Today, just a different Today.

I meant one pedal off of each bike. I sometimes get into a tangle trying to move bikes in and out. There are loads of sticky out things which seem catch out the unwary.

Yes, when I last got my bike out the shed I trod on the rake and kicked a paint tin.

Yay, the old man beats the techy teen !

My son has bought himself a new phone - Samsung S8+ with his first wages. Roll on a week and he can't get the data to work - tells me he needs a new SIM, so I order one. Puts in new SIM and it's still not working. Mr Impatient then phones for an 'exchange'. I say, give it here and I'll take a look. Got on the EE site and requested a Configuration Message to install the data settings. Bingo - phone working. I win !

Cool and rainy here. I'm enjoying this.

I'm wondering which chocolate brownie recipe to go for...Oh and red wine contains antioxidants, which are meant to be good for your mental powers. Cheers!

Isn't it strange how the film title bit of Dr. Kildare used to freeze and that was even before buffering was invented!

Apparently that was part of Merry Wa*kers 'charm'.

Especially when well-lubricated...

Having said that, James Hunt was known to nip out of the commentary box for the odd spliff...

I've had a cheese and ham toastie and a for lunch and am watching the ToB.

Got a load of sewing squared away this morning (running up a set of show drapes for the Supreme for a friend) and will get some more done this afternoon. Also need to stick my lycra in the laundry, sort out some maps for Sunday's (am attempting my first metric half) and will drop by my neighbour. He had a bad fall recently, and so I like to keep tabs on how he's getting on.

He wasn't averse to the odd sniff of 'Columbian Marching Powder' either I've heard but at least he been a driver (and world champion in 76)
