Mundane News

It's turned out out be a fairly sunny and not too windy day. If I'd known this earlier I'd have got myself going earlier and done what I was going to do on Wednesday before the A14 problems. Instead I've booked some rail tickets and a bike reservation for Monday to give myself a couple of options. This gave me an excuse to go out for a decent 50k ride to get the tickets printed out!

A large coffee has just been had and a snooze will possibly follow.

I have been out and bought some paint for my Pinarello. They used a scanning tool to match the colour. I had to buy 1 litre so I will have to see what other bikes need painting red.

Still does have a market but not on Tuesdays Thursdays and Sundays which probably explains the Skipton office meeting on a Thursday.
Presumably it has been affected by the arrival over the years of Aldi, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco ; no doubt Lidl is looking to be there as well

Yes, we did a few, too few, years in Ilkley. Got shipped out about 40 years ago.
Grief, how time flies.

Decision made going for a ride
Yesterday's gone but requires a bucket 🪣

Assume it's on the list.

Well I did go out. I did cycle, the sun shone.
Found a variant route that was very nice.
The absence of pubs or cafes was a bit of a shame.

Wandering the lanes and hearing shotguns being fired I fell to wondering what the economics of running a shoot are.

Mentioning the lack of a Lidl in Skipton reminded me to call in at the local
one on the return of a work visit. Stack of new vouchers to use some of along with pork medallions and chicken breasts.

Oh Mrs P has plugged in a smelly thing in our bedroom,it is so wonderful it is drifting down the staircase.I have no idea why she has done it,but i am so pleased.You see an old greasy type smell hangs around the landing and toilet and it started a few months after the fil moved in.i dare not say anything,all i did was spray,disinfect and clean the toilet bowl on a regular basis,but it started to linger halfway down the staircase and in to our bedroom.She has not said anything to me,but she might have noticed it too.this pongy thing has sorted it out straight away.It smells lovely.
