Been out for an hour on the bike testing out my new Mavic Cosmic alloy wheels. Nice, stiff and quick with decent tyres. Daughter has submitted her end of Semester Assignment on her Masters, so I think we'll all pop to the pub after I finish work.

I've made it to bright lights of Stornoway. Only 21 miles from where I was staying, but another hellish headwind with hail showers thrown into the mix.

I did some laundry in one of those things you find in supermarket carparks and then checked in. Another lady who was also using them said her car was showing 4C and I'd believe it. Clearly summer hasn't reached this far north yet.

Out now waiting on scampi and chips. I'm facing a log fire and have an electric storage heater behind me, so at least I'm warm!

I shall explore on foot after dinner.

This was worth the wait

Completely forgot about the school run being imminent when I went out. Flaming BMW X5 4x4 driving mum not moving out of the way on a single track road to let oncoming traffic past. Put a pavement where the soft verge was and I bet she'd have parked on it in an instant

Leaflet delivered from the local council detailing the new bins & recycling dates which start in June - Thursdays will be my new bin day instead of Mondays. If they ever deliver the new bins that is!

One of these?

Not sure how that'd work, to be honest.

Blasted Microsoft Designer. I spent hours tracing photocopying and redrawing, scanned it in and Microsoft bu993r3d it up! Letters which were supposed to be curved were straightened up.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

My working day and week is completed.
Looking at weather forecast tomorrow morning looks like the time for a good ride

Wow, are those common in the UK now?

No rain today
No offer for the ebike so have just watched various YouTube videos on different ways to get on. Some are pretty impractical with heavy ebike.

I'm not sure about the UK but there are loads of them at home. There is a website where you can locate them.

I spotted this one randomly when I was riding into town.

I was going to ask the same question. Excluding the trolley though.

Evening cuppa went down well

waited most of the day for the electrician to arrive. 90 minutes later he wasn't able to figure out where the stray voltage is coming from or how to eliminate it. he was able to confirm w/ a neighbor that it's our whole 6 unit building & not just ours. although he tried everything he could& a colleague could think of to troubleshoot the issue, within our unit

I truly believe they are gonna have to dig up that trench outside to figure out what happened
