There are tantalizing smells wafting from the kitchen.

Shame it's so cold. Otherwise I'd be tempted to open the landing window and wind up the neighbours.

There you go.I am not as daft as I think I am.So the guy parks smack bang in the middle .

If he does it again lean a 6 inch nail either side of a tyre.

I went outside this afternoon and did a bit of tinkering on my tandem . I took a link out of a chain as the tensioner had nothing to do .

I thought I had better give it another test ride. It was all going well until I tried changing gear . It worked a couple of times and then stayed in top gear . The cable had snapped and the cable adjuster connector had fallen off . I back tracked but couldn't find it .. I'll have another look tomorrow . I did 3.5 miles.
My back held out bit it didn't like the high gearing .

With apartments or a condo working out who to apologise to / argue with may be harder which is why I can see why your wife just reverses. Not that I condone it.

so theres no misunderstanding shes petite cant see out the back very well and distracted, not expecting anyone back there, so totally unintentional she always left a note or spoke to the driver if they came out. on a 3rd occasion down at the pool she backed into a neighbors new Camaro. i couldn't believe how good natured he was about it. she did pay for those repairs! fortunately she now has a backup camera. i'm convinced that invention is due to ppl just like her

contractors / workmen are the worst. we have an unwritten rule that the neighbor who hired them tells them where to park

Playing with the birthday present I bought for myself: a Skagen smart watch, having bought a Skagen non-smart watch last month from their sale as a 'cheap' day use. No-one actually got me a present, but I did get a couple of cards.

well best wishes from CC for a happy day!

An evening spent modelling has resulted in something that looks rather like a Mk1 / Mk2 Escort diff housing. Will finish it tomorrow as a) I still need to cut a parts and b) I need to wait for the glue to cure completely.

Am headed off upstairs to rest my eyes.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Morning y'all
I feel a ride coming on

 

[Illaveago]

Morning.
The sky looks a sort of blotchy grey here. It doesn't look frosty and it is dry out .
I have made some and pondering if I will go out and retrace my route yesterday to see if I can find the bit which broke off.
It was a bit of a learning experience . Must remember that the tandem is much longer than a normal bike and has extra sticky out bits . Especially the handlebars right behind your saddle .
I had to stop writing as Georgie wanted a fuss . He is now stopping me again and again . He's off on a wander now .

Back on the eating your crusts theme .
My mum said that I wouldn't have curly hair if I didn't eat my crusts . "Good!" Was my reply . I didn't like curls ! I wanted straight hair . What is it with curls and girls ?

wind up the neighbours.

You have clockwork neighbours?

Georgie our kitten has perfected his drifting skills . You should have seen him doing a four paw drift through the kitchen.
