Mundane News

Cool & grey morning with a few passing showers dirtying the windows that I cleaned yesterday. Did a little bit more housework with some vacuuming & steam mopping the kitchen floor and then went out on a bottle bank run followed by some shopping. It was actually lovely & warm in the sunshine out of the wind, but the seafront was remarkably quiet as it was so cold in the open.

Plans for my last day of freedom tomorrow are being hatched.

And I've now finished ripping the half a dozen CDs that were delived this morning to my PC ready for transferring to the phone. At £11 for the lot from Music Magpie it's cheaper than buying the MP3s and (being an old git) I prefer to have a physical copy.

We have not had rain for two or three days.
I am considering a higher rise to the stem on my touring bicycle.
I am planning a meatloaf.

Well, we won 4-0, so 5-1 on aggregate. We play Villareal in the semis. Managed by Unai Emery. Ooooer...

On the saddle front, I've noticed that the Madison Leia looks a LOT like the Charge Ladle. It's a fraction narrower and a touch longer in the nose according to the blurb, but for £25 notes, I think it's worth a punt.

Probably on the same frame and materials, just styled slightly differently.

The Ladle is all that perforated fabric, the Leia has a nose made of simulated or otherwise leather.

By the way, the Charge Ladle is $10.00 cheaper over here than the Madison. Try Dick's Sporting Goods, a big chain sporting goods store.

The Ladle is out of stock here in the UK - did look at buying in from the US via the Bay of E, but it almost doubles the price. The Madison is still cheaper (just) than the listed UK price for the Ladle.

Alas, the shop you mention doesn't have internet buying for those of us on this side of the pond.

Anyways, time for a and a mince pie.

Sorry to hear that. Let me look into it. May take a while, but I can check our local store.

It's Friday

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Morning all. It's frosty out so I've put a thick lined shirt on as an extra layer for my ride to the health centre (blood test, eventually...) this morning.

 

[biggs682]

Ah, what a beautiful tortie & white

I have this "thing" for tortoiseshell cats...

I've seen it's father, or people say it's the father. It's a mean looking thing with cauliflower ears and if cats had to pay paternity money it would declare bankruptcy.
