Have just lit the fire. It's a mite chilly tonight.

Before I post in the "wanted" section...

Am hoping to do a little favour for a non-bike-savvy friend who has discovered that plastic brake levers don't exactly inspire confidence. He rides a Raleigh MTB of similar type and age to my Max. I do have a pair of Chang Star levers, but they're for side pull calipers of a decidedly earlier vintage.

So do any Mundaners have a pair of 4 finger alloy MTB brake levers suitable for cantilever brakes in their parts bins that they'd be happy to, err, part with?

I have a nice stash of shiny pennies in my piggy bank.

If I were to buy everything suggested to me by Facebook Marketplace I would own everything from a three piece suite, a pink Barbie bike, an ancient Toshiba hi-fi, a trailer load of firewood, a Rover 45, a job lot of ladies shoes and a distributor cap for an Opel Kadett.

I tempted to use these suggestions as ideas to write a new series of Only Fools and Horses!

And about bl**dy time, too.

Rain isn't that bad, there's hail coming in from the west, for you.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Baseball sized hail in Texas, at my friends' place.

Anyways, time for a

And now, time for bed. I'm struggling to stay awake.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Good morning. Forecasts were of apocalyptic storms and snow on high ground; I knew this would happen when I took the winter tyres off the bike.

All seems quiet at the moment; will have to see how things look when I pull the shutters up.

Well that was easy this morning.
Bright blue sky and sunshine but patio damp .
Parcel ready to be collected by my Hermes later .

Sunny and a lot calmer outside than yesterday. It's not warm though and there are hail showers forecast for this afternoon. Spring is now in intensive care.

I'm up. Tea to be drunk (drinked? drank?)

That'll be Hermes - I'm quite happy with the local branch's service. Oddly enough I also ordered some bits from Wiggle on Friday using standard delivery and SiS on Saturday night using 'next day' delivery (I got it for a year free on offer) and both were delivered this afternoon. Small pack of Haribo in with the Wiggle delivery as well

I heard that Hermes have been taken over by an American company and have cut the driver's wages .

A 4% cut, I believe 😔
