I've been to 5 shops but still forgot to buy garlic, I've put the recycling out and returned home to find my flat smelling of lemon and garlic. It's great coming home to that smell. And now it's coffee time.

Sitting next to Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers at a David Sylvian concert, Hammersmith Odeon, mid-eighties. I plucked up the courage get into conversation with one of my musical heroes.

'Sylvian fan then Hugh?'

'Yes', he replied.

You mean something like attempting a reset/restart with a computer?

{ctrl/alt/del} or {shutdown -r +0)

Right, going to make myself a and do a bit of online cat show judging.

Anyone else fancy a brew?

I imagine the quality of the image might vary.

 

[mybike]

I believe they are. It will just save me going through thousands of old e-mails and the like.

Some of my emails have been lost, but there are still more than I care to think about.

Morning .
It is grey here.
I have got to change over a car door for my friend this morning . Not really looking forward to it . I'd rather have a nap .

I have a vague memory of taking off a mini door to do some repairs. Thankfully I've forgotten most of the pain.

That's a revelation a member of the Stranglers plays with toy rabbits

i've cleaned my razor and put it on charge this morning, it needs new blades but the cost of them isn't much less than buying a cheap razor.

Get a mirror, put some of that pink metal polish on it, and rub with the blade until the pink becomes silver-grey,working in a circular motion. Do that for each blade of the razor.

That apple and quince pear crumble was lush btw...

Just peeled a load of our apples from the garden. Apple and cinnamon pastries later to go with the beef in Guinness pie i need to make

I gather from another thread that someone called classic33 is going to join cyclechat at 17:40. I wonder what took him so long.

I have just purchased two bottles of car glass cleaner for less than the price of a single bottle.

And in 45 minutes I will be finishing work and biking up to Ipswich to collect them.

Mild, still, and currently rather rainy here chez Casa Reynard.

It rained this morning for a bit, but then cleared up, so I decided on a bike ride. Good decision, because it started raining again while I was having my lunch - mushroom soup, beans on toast, and orange and two

I have decided not to do very much this afternoon.

Oh, and I hate incredibly realistic dreams where things are what you wish them to be, and then you wake up and you know it's never going to happen. Aaaaargh!

First of the Christmas Lights have gone up in town.

After the hillclimb this morning (son no. 2 won his category, came 4th and got £10) my LBS called. Apparently my son's disc wheel has an 11 speed cassette on. For a 10 speed TT bike. So toddled off there looking confused and sheepish. It's only ever been 10 speed although I lent it to someone for a couple of weeks. Maybe they swapped it and forgot

Then went to pay the deposit for a carpet (stairs/landing) and order some carpet tiles.

Sat waiting on Hermes to deliver the bits for my NeilPryde with a coffee and a chocolate brownie I found at the back of the kitchen cupboard and I'll then set up son's team media talk at 4.45 because some of the riders have been bad. Although it's not my son this time
