Mundane News

[pawl]

Whoops... I was just making a mundane observation on the plight of some UK Islanders not a political statement.

I was trying to agree with you.It seems to me that the powers that be are pretty clueless on the identifying what’s essential and what’s not

I think I can only match one of those attributes!

Ah, sounds like the railway bridge outside Ely Station. Barely a week seems to go by without it being walloped...

Hope it’s not stuck as long as the boat that got stuck in the Suez canals

Been sat on a beach in Anglesey most of the day. I may be glowing.

I went for a ride with my friends this afternoon / evening . When we were half way round I started hearing a loud clicking noise coming from my friends bike . At first it was just the occasional click which sounded a bit like a pedal noise, as we progressed it became louder and more frequent . It was his rear axle bearing which was breaking up . I followed close behind him, I suggested that he should use lower gears so as not to put too much load on it . We managed to get back the last 6 miles okay . I will have a look at it over the next few days.
We did 13 miles in the end .

Lovely supper of steamed trout fillet, avocado, tomato, Polish vegetable salad and bread & butter.

 

[tyred]

Tyre removal on a Brompton is very tight but thorn now removed, tube patched and refitted.

The previous tyre wore through to the cords without a single puncture and this one (same brand) has only managed about a fortress before puncturing but I suppose it's the luck of the draw.

Now relaxing listening to Imelda May

Have decided to go to a steam rally tomorrow. Will be a long drive but a chance to play with steam engines, old tractors and cars in a lovely lakeside location

Good job you weren't on Felixstowe beach - you'd have been blue with the cold.

I'm off to Brands Hatch this weekend for the GTs and hoping that the Bank Holiday comes in other colours than grey.

Unfortunately, yes

You've no tools!!

It's been a day of going around the East Midlands;

- Emptied son no. 2's bedroom ready for painting, plus some shopping before heading to Newark where I collected 4 bikes I'd won via eBay.
- Then to Lincoln to visit son no. 1 with his new glasses.
- Then to Scunthorpe for track racing, where I also donated off 3 of the bikes leaving me with the one I originally wanted in the first place (it was a 'buy all 4' auction)

Can you guess which bike I wanted to keep?

A small hammer, a small axe, a hand saw and some spanners & allen keys for bike repairs. I don't think @Reynard would like me trying to fix her mower with the hammer, axe & saw.

You can use your small hammer to tap the spindles out. Your spanners might be better quality!

Just to say Postman has had the most wonderful day in Edinburgh. TOTALLY KNACKERED with walking around. THE GRADUATION CEREMONY WAS incredible. SORRY OUT SHOUTING its the phone keyboard or two pints and a whisky.
