Bit late reporting in been for first ride around the block on a recently acquired project all went well.
Dry and grey weather

As just put up on the 'Commuting' section, I was almost taken out by some form of wildlife on the way home on Wednesday night. Probably a badger as it was gone 22:30 and on the unlit country lane section. My front wheel got knocked sideways and the rear then went over something fairly large & solid, but I didn't go back and find out what I'd hit as I was just glad to regain control without coming off the bike.

Any damage to the bike?

First cuppa went down well
Puss cat wasn't happy with his slightly later breakfast
Pretty sure he will get over it though

My work's IT outage is ongoing into day 2. Been into work very early to see if I could do more there than at home. I couldn't, so have come back bringing two bikes I had stored nearby so they can go on sale. That may have been the main purpose for the trip

Anyone interested in a Dawes Kingpin or Principia TT2 Light?

The last time I saw that I think Kylie was in it.

Ditto

Except there was an episode with my cousin's bottom half in - he is/was a fireman on the set. I got sent a clip of his 'appearance'.

Torch, so you can see what you're doing? 🤔

I've had to swerve around a few badgers on my dark unlit country lane commute route! I did hit one, once. They make quite a high pitched squeak/squeal (or was that my sphincter?)

Showers and a brisk wind again.
Problems of some kind keep popping up. I recently updated my will and got a senior partner in a law firm due to staff sickness rather than the junior who would be tasked with this.
She immediately homed in on my late wife's estate which since it was not complicated I dealt with myself. Turns out that my wife who died nearly 7 years ago still owns half of my house. The previous lawyers I dealt with "lost" the title deeds so I never checked such details. More money out to some slightly less crooked ones now to sort it out.

It was still running? How many years is that?

Two of the three things that should be happening, today, have happened.. Old settee collected by Salvation Army. New settees are being delivered as we speak..

That just leaves Vodafone to keep their promise and arrive before 13:00 😜

I've just spent 15 minutes watching a magpie behaving very much like a woodpecker on the tree outside. Odd. Perhaps the lichen is to its liking. Or there are bugs in the bark.
