Morning. I think it is grey out ! I haven't looked properly yet.
Head bunged up! Having a :cuppa: at the moment .

I rang Oops customer services yesterday and spoke to an automated system ! :wacko: Now that's what I call service ! :ohmy:
 
Finally feeling vaguely human for the first time in at least a week: after being signed off sick for two weeks with a cold (Awkward things in my case because I have Asthma, so colds tend to stay around and have a party) I promptly caught flu last week, with additional vomiting and dizzyness, which was a lovely start to the year.
Still, I've been up an hour and the room hasn't started spinning yet, so I think I'm finally improving...

I have one of those too. Well, a sort of house-and-garage pixie AKA the female parental unit. :banghead:

After pixie visitations, I can then never find *anything* :surrender:
When I was a kid my female parental unit used to sometimes drive me mad with her 'tidying up'.

One time I'd spent the day looking for one of my toys, without success, and as a last resort (because young kids don't usually talk to their parental units unless absolutely necessary) I asked if she had seen it. "Oh yes, but you haven't played with it lately so I threw it away"!

"But it was mone of my favourites!"

"Well you should have played with it more then."

FPU's are always right...

You need to have a talk with yourself & work out what's bothering you.
And if he answers himself, what then?

Why only the new tyres, take the bike as well.
Never thought of that! I was going to balance my hands and feet on the axles and roll down the hill. Your suggestion is much more sensible. Now I’ll be able to get back up the hill too! :laugh:

Seriously though, I have not only new tyres, but new brake pads to bed in. Unfortunately, the wind has picked up enormously and it’s raining so I’m going to have to wait methinks. Tomorrow is no-go as it’s forecast heavy :rain: and possibly sleet here all day. Not a great weekend for turning the pedals. :cry:

My new "cycling" watch has been thoroughly tested in the shower and I can confirm that it is indeed waterproof.

Mrs. GA is from Michigan's upper peninsula, where a lot of Cornish miners settled in the 1800's. Ours are just crust, beef, potatoes, onions, swedes, and maybe parsnips. If I make them, I use turnips and onions and potatoes and beef. Only options I'm aware off, besides chicken and leek pasties.

There are quite a few varieties I've seen. I've been told these are the best. They were approached by a supermarket but turned them down and say "The ingredients we use are too expensive to create them for the mass market anyway".

One pasty I've never been able to find is the savoury and sweet pasty.
