Strong cold wind and sunny with the occasional shower but the washing dried.
Tried tackling the 76p clamp with a saw but it was a slow progess in attempting to make a slot to hold the ebikes controller. Progress was stopped when it occurred to me the half clamp that is part of the controller casing might be stuck in place with exterior double sided tape. Rummaging so far has failed to find any so it could be a Toolstation visit tomorrow.

Fire extinguished by a barmaid wielding a bucket of water.
Why can't smokers be more careful?
It is more the idiots who chuck random rubbish into those bins, a load of fag ends ain't gonna go up but crisp/nut packets or 'fast food' bags will burn like a bonfire.

I think you need to start putting yourself first a bit more Postie. If you go under with the stress who’s going to be looking after FiL then. You might just want to mention this.

Tip run dropping off the TV unit that nobody wanted.
Fence painting completed just the shed to do now and that can wait.

Went to Lidl earlier today. Needed tomatoes among the other stuff. Went around the veggie isle twice. No tomatoes. None. Like zero. Not just zero but big fat zero. Not even a lonely tomato ghost. 
When I asked staff said "supply issues". Apparently it was the same yesterday already.
Went to small Tesco. A few packs of small vine tomatoes left. Woohoo, mission accomplished.
I can't live without tomatoes - they are like bread to me.

Evening cuppa of hot chocolate went down well with a white timtam.

I definitely get the point, but when I smoked, I would always have made sure it was extinguished before putting it into one of those things.
In the smoking area where I used to work, there were holes in the wall where something had once been screwed there and the rawlplugs were removed. Some use to push cigarette butts into the holes. It ended up with the cavity wall insulation catching fire inside the cavity, building evacuation, and fire brigade being called! People do stupid things with cigarette ends.

SWMBO wanted some furniture moving round in the downstairs office earlier. That I've been unwell this week appeared to be irrelevant.
Down the back of a filing cabinet I found an old energy gel, about 2 years out-of-date. I'm guessing it'll still be OK. Don't want to waste it.

Just over eighty miles cycled today, my longest ride of the year so far and I think that is the limit of my current fitness levels. It's flat around here, but the headwinds have been horrible at times.
I had fish and chips and will be having a relaxing evening. Back home tomorrow. It was nice to forget about work for a few days. Pity it's back to work on Monday.
