A nice 10 mile bimble in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres to check out a productive patch of hedgerow that has both apples and walnuts. Walnut crop is middling, but it'll be a good year for apples.

Now sat down with a nice post-ride

My right hand smells of bleach. Left ones OK so no need to wash that one, too..

 

[Reynard]

Right, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

 

[PeteXXX]

It's actually quite difficult to wash only one hand so I've decided to do both..

There goes my soap saving idea! 😔

I walked to Alloyway along the shared use path. Some twat had parked a Vivaro in front of the Burns cottage so I didn't get to take a photo of it but I'll go back tomorrow when the museum is open and hopefully I'll have a new tyre.

Now the important question. Why do Wetherspoons supply sachets of pepper which seem to contain only about two grains of pepper in each one?

My next door neighbour bakes cakes for her daughter's café. She has very high standard to maintain.

She brought me a cake that she said had not risen as it should. She refused to take any payment for it. It was a lovely light lemon drizzle cake.

Rear tyre split along the beading without obvious reasons or warnings this morning. The wire beading is actually very rusty so wonder if the tyre is very old stock. I only fitted it last August and it hasn't been used much as I was injured. My attempt to boot it didn't work. On a bus back to Ayr now and I hope I can find a shop with a Brompton tyre in stock (which is unlikely).

Warranty claim . I replaced a 27 inch tyre as the walls had gone down to the threads . The tread was still on and the tyre and was still firmly attached to the rim . I think it was pretty old but still intact .

You know that they are taking salt out of everything these days !

What are they going to put on icy roads ?

I for one would be more than surprised that if aliens landed and it was actually the Clangers. Although of course other upside they could trade soup I suppose.

Hmm, bike shop opposite the B&B is full of kids bikes or electric ones. So sad I am.... 😞 Nothing exciting in there.

Kiddie 16" wheels are a different 16" from Brompton and early Moultons. Mine are 349-37 whereas I think the other 16" are something like 306mm with a wider tyre. Halfords don't list 349s on their website.

This is no good then?

Seems overkill for a kids bike.

That would fit actually. Not sure why it didn't show up earlier but the collection date in Irvine in the 27th and I need to be back at work by then.

You don't rush these things do you. Nearly a day since you first mentioned it.

I think I will sample Wetherspoons' apple crumble. I've had a stressful day. I need comfort food.
