Bless.

Not sure I'd want Captain Mainwaring directing the operation to change my lightbulb...

Roses are not the nice sweets they once were IMO. Cadbury's have lost the plot.

Yes. The accountants have been in the kitchen .

Cats are fed, marmalade bread & butter pudding is in the oven, and soon it will be time to feed me.

I seem to have got into the habit of riding my Rudge a lot these past few months so decided to clean the rims and have a play with the brakes to see if I could make them work a bit better. Now have nice shiny rims. cleaned and re-faced brake blocks. Made a big difference. I lubricated the oil ports and opened the chaincase to have a look at the chain. It is still there and looks just the same as the last time I had a look at it a few years ago. Applied some fresh oil. Chaincases and hub gears are great for winter riding. I then took it for another thirty mile ride and encountered heavy snow showers on the higher ground. Arrived home soaked to the skin and frozen but just in time for dinner.

I had decided to re-arrange the garage in the afternoon and reversed my tractor outside out of my way and it stopped. The diesel tank was empty. Oops It come on torrential rain so I got soaked for a second time while I bled the fuel system and my hands stink of diesel.

Now ready to enjoy some leftover Christmas pudding

 

[Reynard]

Me is fed.

Cold sliced turkey & stuffing, roasties (microwaved then crisped up under the grill), red cabbage and the last of the salad. And then some of the marmalade bread and butter pudding topped with a generous dollop of custard.

Lovely post storm Bella ride this afternoon with some riding after sunset. Lots of floods but able to complete ride.

I'm marking for an external organisation for the next week or so. I've just read "marketing is marketing and therefore marketing is marketing" . They're going to score well

They're yukky things, much too sweet. Fit only to be filed in the round cabinet right alongside Quality Street and Heroes...

Given you're knocking the name it's odd, but I agree with you on those. Nestle trying to take the brand name abroad, therefore running it down. Rowntree's didn't manage to get it, the name, out of the town, let alone the country.

Canny lot those Mackintosh's when they came up with the idea for them.

I must have been tired last night as I slept right through Bella. You lot going on about light bulbs last night reminded me that I needed to get some decent spares in as all I had was those useless 'energy saver' CFL types that my energy company were giving away years ago. This has now been rectified with a pack of 5 LED types from Screwfix for a tenner.

Reminds me of my times doing H&S courses. I'd hunt down appropriate pictures.

Always a favourite

I'm guessing more training required for that particular individual was in order.

What are the chances of the Council gritting the roads on a Sunday night running into a public holiday Monday over the Christmas break? Looks to be getting a bit frosty out there so I think the 29er will need to be used for tomorrow's 6am commute

Time for a quick hot chocolate before an early night.

Load is of-centre on the forks. Even accounting for the location of the bulk of the weight.
