Good start to the year.The mountain bike is not ill.It is just a plastic cover that is broken and the nut can be fastened with my fingers,so no expense to be laid out.

It is icy here, but it is only 7;30 a.m., so things will probably melt. It wasn't icy out yesterday when I rode my bike, but it was close to freezing.

Physio rehab this morning - forgot when planning my ride last night, and realised I had to go there instead. On the way back, collected parts to service my car (overdue). Oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, new front pads and brake bleed. Help from my son doing the climbing under the car to remove the lower engine cover.

Only 'slight' mishap, was when my son was screwing down the coil packs - did one bolt way too tight and snapped it clean off. Great. He'd picked up one of the the bolt that holds the engine cover on, three correct, fourth not. Managed to drill it through, then screwed in a smaller bolt, and as I 'undid' it, the 'old' bolts thread came out too. Phew - proper bolt then used. Just one bolt short on the plastic engine cover now.

Heck no! I like to do my job properly so I get very frustrated at others peoples half-a***d attitude which makes my job difficult as I have follow them around reminding them of procedure, mopping up the mess.
Maybe I must need to chill a bit.

Maybe, but it pis ticks me off too when people can’t be bothered to do the job right.

I'm back home!
It has been a long day. I waved at dave r when I went through Coventry but he must have been looking the other way .

We popped into the Transport Museum. They have extended it ! It is a lot bigger now and winds around quite a bit. We were in there for quite a long time as there is a lot too see. It is well worth a visit and it is free!
From the museum we then went to see the cathedrals old and new .

It's all about being organised.

That's why I'm not going back until the 7th.
