Even more messages during the night. Seems the world of international Skoda trade never sleeps.

Why don't people actually read the ad instead of asking for information that is actually in the ad?

Is it the model with 4 wheels?

Misunderstanding somewhere. I have never heard of a restaurant called Whitehouse anywhere around here.

Ooops, sorry - across the water at Loch Aline. That touroid boat magnet

Best get a move on and get some shopping done then sort out all the other jobs to do.

It's actually got 5 wheels. There is a spare in the boot.

So 6 if you are including the steering wheel

We used to anchor overnight there in the bay on the right going in.

A fingernail has just launched itself across the room. I've no idea where it landed.

Having hurt my back; first coughing after the cold a fortnight ago, then through lifting due to having to move from the office home temporarily this week, then on a bike ride yesterday, I'm taking things easy. I'm also not sure the 300km audax last weekend helped either

Currently I'm photographing bike parts and other bits to list on eBay; Shimano 105 components, vintage bits plus some job-related stuff I kept at work and won't have the space for when I return in September to a new hot-desking environment without the same storage.

I've finished cutting the grass just in time to ignore No Mow May.

Son no. 2 has had five 'initial selection' interviews this week and has an interview next Wednesday for a graduate mechanical engineer vacancy in Grantham. I don't fully understand the role but he could live with my parents in their spare room upstairs (they have a bungalow-with-a-hole-in-the-middle) which is about 30 minutes away.

Hopefully he'll do well as it's not the most exciting job, or area to live in. He doesn't want to work for a massive firm, nor in a major city, so it'd suit him.

Is this the son who does all the cycling?

No, my eldest who's just finished a Master's in Mechanical Engineering. The youngest is still a first year ... who just went the wrong way in the BUCS TT today

I was hoping to cut ours again, but it just keeps raining! Still, I have removed the hawthorn treelet that had been planted too close to the path.

New disc rotor on ebike front wheel, pads cleaned and realigned (think that may have been needed some time back judging how badly worn one side of the old rotor was) and everytime I get the bike out to go and bed the pads in it starts raining

In old news found the missing shoe horn, it had got trapped under the bottom sliding basket to a wardrobe - must thave been the only place I had not looked.

Correct. How did you know?
