I have recently had the pleasure (not!) of speaking to 'Three' customers services twice.
Tomorrow, I have to endure another call to them. That'll make it 3 calls to Three.

It will be an hour of my life I'll never get back

I had 2.11 inches of rain yesterday. The cold front and the ridge are still battling it out here. We may see 85 F today, but we may also see 50 F for a high, and a light freeze, by Friday.

I've never noticed that before! A little green triangle has appeared in the top left hand corner of some avatars!

It's been there a few years now.

Last time I had a dealing with the job centre the 'customer assistant' didn't, to the extent I had to go back four days running to sort out the mess he made, by bike, and the job centre is about 150m lower than we are, with 25% gradients.

I was not terribly happy, especially when several 'customer assistants' contradicted each other with their 'advice'...

I think it's a sign of the Illuminati, isn't it?

Or was it the Velominati? I can't remember right now.

Well, if you can't see one on yours, the system isn't certain if you're actually here.

The visit to Castle Combe Race Circuit reminded me of the time way back in the 70's when I was on a breakdown truck. One particular bit I can remember well was seeing what I thought at the time was a Gulf Ford GT40, it turned out to be a Mirage M1. During practice it was the fastest car on the track but sadly it did not make the race due to clutch failure.

Morning. It is a lovely sunny start to the day.
It's not going well for my head, slept through the alarm and must have left it somewhere.

I know the advert used to say that a particular make of washing up liquid lasted longer than others but 47 years is pushing it a bit!

An old plastic washing up bottle was discovered washed up on Brean beach according to the local news.

Today is moving day, yesterday was packing day. Can't move in this house for boxes.

Bike already moved and in nice big garage, with boxes in. The question is, can we fit two houses into one?

At least it's flatter where we're going so might even get some cycling in. Giddy Lane, here we come.

If anyone has any thoughts on how to store bikes, is a floor stand a good idea?

Found a great way to ensure you don't get caught doing a crime.

Simply get a mate to pull over onto a hard shoulder with a puncture ,car preferred.

This then gets the road virtually closed and all on duty police attending.

Commit crime and take as long as you like,simples.

Yesterday I filled in and filed the tax return online, did the ironing, vaccumed and polished, made a few phone calls and then made some homemade fishcakes for tea, accompanied by some soy/honey/five spice and ginger stir-fired veg.

I felt quite virtuous by evening...

For an encore, I'm spending much of the day pondering how to get aging parents from A to B later this week with the minimum of drama.
