I've just come back on my bike . I wasn't too sure about going at first as the wind is gusting quite a bit .
I eventually got to my brother's in Lacock . It was a struggle . It wasn't the wind chill factor , but the wind pushing me backwards factor ! It felt like I had done twice the mileage .
The ride back was a lot easier , but I almost ended up as part of someone's meat pie . I was going round a roundabout. A car shot out from the left in front of me followed by a large food van! I couldn't believe that he wasn't slowing down! It was a good job my brakes worked otherwise I would have made a very large dent in the side of his van .

Eeeeeeeek!!!

Oh, and I put my blue recycling wheelie bin out, and the black bag.

Ari Vatanen, 1989 or 1990 Paris - Dakar in a Peugeot 405T16. Use sandpaper as a base for added authenticity

Not the Dakar, but I found this for you... Hang onto your hair...

I’ve just got back from Sainsbury’s, there are NO Porcini mushrooms in stock. Not even for ready money. 😠

I've just had a fire safety check*. They weren't too pleased about a fire door jammed open by the Brompton.

*Social housing, innit!

Mid way through taking Christmas down and stashing it in the attic for another year

This is one of my favourite clips

Our internet connection just went off for 20 minutes or so.

Finally solved it with a combination of bad language and waggling the coaxial cable.

Jimmy McRae, his team mate at Opel, I'm assuming.

There were three works Mantas on the 1983 Rothmans Manx. Toivonen & Gallagher won.

Right, off to the tip with a carload of garden waste and one broken 4ft scratch post.

Apparently getting drunk at Christmas is a competitive sport

The technical solution. I like it

I think a new cable will be needed soon.

Or a hammer.
