Will do. And yes. Indeed.

Seems to have subsided, but head still bunged and I feel like I've been flattened by a steamroller. I don't think I'll be going to the pet service in Ely Cathedral tomorrow.

I keep getting told to use steam when I get like that. It feels terrible when your head becomes a spirit level.

Bit chill this morning. 35.6F

Lovely bright start, biking later..cant wait

 

[Illaveago]

Morning. It has now brightened up, it was grey and cloudy earlier.
I think I will start fitting my friend's bike back up. It has been a bit like doing an archaeological dig. I didn't know what was lurking underneath all that silt. I will have to find some idlers for the rear mech as they resemble spurs.

My knee is still sore - might go and potter about in the garage

I was planning on doing some stuff but the fairies seem to have visited. My wife can usually tell when they visit as I turn pale.

I netted the work pond friday after a Heron had a feed..

Measure twice, cut once ! Can a similar system be applied for going upstairs?

Am in my onesie and cuddled up under a fleece throw with the F1 on the radio, and the BTCC meeting, the Ryder Cup and the Men's WC road race variously on the laptop.

BTCC race one went to Dan Cammish. I'm happy.

Yup. A hot, steamy bath does wonders.

Or the old bowl of hot water and a towel over the head. And some olbas oil.

[QUOTE 5396849, member: 9609"]eh ? to see if you can fix it
what are you going to start with, heat it up with a blow torch or jam it in the vice and drill a few holes in it.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like a plan...

Another 3 bags to the tip, garage tidied a bit more and brushed out. Just got to get rid of a recliner chair that's in there - my missus has 'plans' for it. Wall hanging space for 3 bikes cleared as they will come back from the caravan at the end of October. Decking jet washed clean after my wife replanted the strawberry plants in the raised beds, but didn't tidy up.... soil all over the decking. Probably not done my knee any good.

Movie time now

I've just burnt my toast. I put the toaster dial up to number 9 last night to make 'crispy crumpets' and forgot to turn it back down to number 5.

Two fabby BTCC races so far today. Chapeau to Dan Cammish (my main man in BTCC) for taking his first two wins in the series.

Feel so gutted for Tom Ingram though. He was my pick for the championship at the beginning of the season.

In comparison, the Russian Grand Prix left me feeling rather cold.

I've just had tinned mackerel and tomato on toast.
