I passed first first time Didn’t have a pat to help me with the Highway Code though

The examiner did say I didn’t use fourth gear enough He should try getting any higher on a figur of eight circuit were it wasn’t possible to get up to twenty fiveMPH

I passed my motor bike test in 1972 riding a Lambretta similar to this one.

75cc and would make 45mph flat out down hill with a tail wind, great fun to ride.

Well, I'm back from Alresford. Knackered, emotionally drained and in desperate need of several gallons of tea.

It rained on the drive down, and the traffic was not great. I swear the M3 gets more like a washboard every time I go.

But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. I miss him.

I try not to buy them, because they are just far too addictive...

I'm browsing the local Facebook buy and sell page for wardrobes.

It seems an up cycled wardrobe is one where someone has applied a coat of patchy white hard gloss over the original veneer.

snow total manageable, maybe 12"? hard to trust a measurement w/ all the wind so I didn't even try

In the UK that much snow would be the end of the world as we know it. 😁

I'm just about done in. Time to climb up the Wooden Hill.

Nunnight one and all xxx

 

[Oldhippy]

I think I will treat myself to breakfast in bed, shower, then get out for the day.

When they show pictures of the winter of 1963 they show the railway as having snow ploughs and blowers . I wonder if they even know what they are now ?

Morning.
I was a bit late getting up this morning so Georgie came in and gave us a gentle reminder. He found some tender spots on my wife as he walked back and forth between us .
THE sky has lightened and I can see some pink streaks in the beige and light blue sky .

That was interesting ! I was just watching Click on the Beeb just now . They were showing tests of a new idea for launching satellites into orbit . It was with a large centrifuge! I think they just tested a carbon fibre cone on a 12 metre arm in a vacuum .
I wonder how fast I would have to pedal to put a fly into orbit using my bike with 27inch wheels ?

Overcast but the calm before the storm. By tonight we are forecast to get over 70mph winds. Cold this morning at 3.5c but with no wind it does not feel too bad.
Several thriving businesses are appealing desperately for housing for workers as they cannot expand until they get more people. At least one teacher is leaving as being evicted from a rental to make way for tourists. Meanwhile the holiday homes go on destroying what people think they want to come for. We are getting more and more turned into a theme park by greedy outsiders. Makes me angry.😠

Waiting for frost and ice to melt before heading out on bikes.

First cuppa went down well
Bird's have been fed
Cat litter everywhere
