It's quite humbling helping my 81 year-old father do something quite basic that I always thought he knew how to do.

It transpires my Mum had always done everything when it came to organising a move and it's a skill he's having to learn quickly.

The working out what new phone to buy is far from completed

Wonder if pro curling players all have spotless hard floors at home

Contacted Roberts over a radio of theirs I have. Increasing making popping or crackling noises while another of theirs that is older works fine in the same locations. Will it more cost effective to have it repaired or just recycle it?
Found the box for the basically dead Samsing phone, receipt in from 2014 so in mobile phone terms an antique.

Track racing again this evening at Derby, with a break then for a few weeks. With the nationals this month there are quite a few big name guests riding. I managed to not crash into the champion GB rider in the warm-up

Scratch - 6th. Too far back with 3 laps to go.
Tempo - 4th
Points - 6th? Went solo. Blew up spectacularly.
Scratch - 2nd

We had an evening stroll and it felt warmer than it did at lunch time

Soon be time for an evening cup of tea

Ooh @Reynard, I finally managed to track down some Tesco's Gold leaf tea today. The previous foray only got me Red. Stopping selling the stuff for 6 months or so and then not stocking the shelves properly seems a very reliable way of making a product unprofitable.

More rain this evening, some of it at Yorkshire type level for a short while. I don't normally do holidays and I think my passport may be out of date as well, but if anyone's going anywhere dry, warm and sunny in the next week or so I'm quite happy to stow away in your suitcase.

@Jankins - have you wondered whether you bring the rain to Yorkshire whoever you visit, and it's sunny when you aren't here?

Evening cuppa went down well with a fig roll

If it were true Yorkshire level rain you'd not have got to Leeds. Or out off Leeds if you were here when it started.

Isn’t Leeds a bit rain shadowy go to Hebden Bridge and it’s probably not had a dry day since 1896.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And it been worse than normal with panic on Sunday that Knaresborough Viaduct might collaspe.

People got muddled over one of Mother Shiptons prophecies from the 16th century that the world would end. That acually refers to the A59 bridge over the river and it falling for the third time.
The viaduct did actailly collapse whilst nearing completion in 1848 delaying the opening of the railway until 1851.

There was a dry and sunny day in August 1990.
I was at Hebden Hey as Camp Warden.
