Went out for 40 minutes in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres. Pootled around some local lanes checking the progress of the fruit in the hedgerows.

Looks like a bumper year for blackberries, but one of the apple trees I usually pick from is a total bust. There's loads of fruit on it, but they're barely bigger than a large marble because it's been so dry.

Anyways, now sat here with a post-ride :cuppa:

Been damp all day again but raining a bit a couple of miles away while I was out this morning. Now it is starting to get dark early and I often need a light on to find my breakfast in the mornings as well.
Minor triumph in that I found the claw hammer I lost about a month ago just where I left it.:wacko:
I have a spare room which is turning into a right tip as all sorts of things including 3 bikes get filed in there. I really need to clear out a lot of stuff I will no longer use but I cannot be bothered with the hassle of trying to sell any of it. In any case nobody here is willing to pay a decent price for bikes. I have given one away but since I was given it for nothing anyway all it had cost was a couple of new tyres and tubes and I did a few tours using it for towing a trailer.
The car rally in October is proposing a stage around the town streets. This was done once before and caused a lot of rumpus as everyone including essential workers like carers and nurses were told their cars would get towed if they dared have them on the streets. The uproar was so bad the idea was never repeated but since they tend to be an arrogant bunch they are trying again.

I sometimes wonder how many times my neighbour can drive around the block in the world's noisiest 1.0L Corsa without getting bored. :banghead:

I'd like a few minutes alone under the bonnet to carry out a few tweaks:whistle:
Small bottle of dirty oil and put a few drops on the road under the engine*. Then point it out to them.

*Can also be done when the car isn't there, or near the wheels(hydraulic oil) leaking from the brakes!
