The dogs and l are back from our walk. It is going to be a very hot day today, the sun is just about to appear over the tops of the trees. It is almost as if the world is holding its breath in anticipation

It's a nice sunny day here as well.
First cuppa is going down well
Garden birds have been fed
A 12 mile ride has been completed.

Well.. I'm up, too, but at a more acceptable hour!
I'll be doing my ablutions after I've finished my tea.

Morning.
It is sunny here .
I'm just trying to remember how the Sturmey Archer gear cable extension worked on my convertible tandem . I wish I paid more attention to it before it went ping on its first outing and got lost . I know that it has to have a male and female threaded end, but I seem to have a vague recollection of female at both ends but with a male stud fitted . I could be wrong and have got things jumbled up .

Switches on for 10 seconds then shuts down. The last batch of broccoli and stilton seems to have been it's last.

Anything stuck to the inside base? Mine is very sensitive to anything which sticks and I think cheese of any kind would not work. I do break the rules sometimes and have to use a mild abrasive to get the bottom clean again.

Watery sunshine just now and a northerly wind which is still pretty cold. Rain does not seem to be forecast so may get out on trike later.
I am wearing nearly winter togs most of the time and am still cycling with long trousers rather than shorts in July.

Summer weather continues. I needed a fleece on my walk this morning and the sky is varying shades of grey and black.

We've got a sticky shower valve and I've got a cunning plan to fix it...

My wife has told me that it will be a cherished vehicle show this Sunday . Last year I took my Coventry Eagle Triple Ace Convertible Tandem along as a bit of interest to put next to my wife's tent . I may take 2 different bikes this year . I thought that my burnt Dawes Red Feather that I found fly tipped might be one . I'll have to think which other one to take .

Day 8 of Covid: still testing positive, but starting to feel a bit more normal despite a mild temperature plus some difficulty breathing still.

Son no. 2 is on day 5 and it's like a cold to him, SWMBO on day 3 and she's back working from home as if it's not an issue as she can't go back into the hospital to work until Monday.

How come the unfit, overweight, non-cyclist in the family who caught it last recovers first? Maybe cycling is bad for you after all

 

[pawl]

Good to hear your all recovering

Given it a good old clean ... same problem. Looks like I'll need to open that 1998 tin of Baxters after all

Well, I’ve been kicked out of my apt due to a massive gas leak. Staying at a, very nice, local hotel across the road.

Will be here until Sunday while the gas people repair/replace gas pipes and my boiler.

Currently fending off attempts to make me do cover duties for a manager in another shop.

Not just my place, three floors (7/8/9) have this issue.
