Tea is brewing and I'll probably be going out to get some cake from the farm shop, if evil strict wife will let me...

I've been moving concrete kerbs, about 2 tons worth. I then had to fix a puncture on the wheel barrow.
I found the nail that was in it so took the wheel off and got my cycle repair kit. I then found that it was a tubeless tyre! Anyway I got a tiny bit of tubless repair stuff* and so I repaired the tyre, struggled to get it on the rim and then pumped it up. There is a second puncture. Back off and find another little bit of tubeless repair stuff* and start again. Fortunately that sorted it.
*I had a car tyre repaired a few months ago and the chap repaird it with this rubberised stringy stuff threaded through the hole. There was lots of it inside the tyre (tyre not refitted to rim) so I trimmed a bit off to use on the wheelbarrow tyre.

Evenings! Just got back from a rather long drive.
You know how hazard lights normally mean "I've parked somewhere stupid" or "I'm sorting out my invoices / delivery notes/tw@tnav/stereo/Facebook or whatever"?
On the M1 I saw a new application. Hazard lights mean "I'm sick of waiting in the queue, so I'll drive on the hard shoulder. To the next exit. 5 Feckin' miles away!"
!
And breathe....

It's the 'I'll put my hazard lights on and then people will think I have broken down and I am just slowing down on the hard shoulder...' routine.
I love it when an alert trucker sees this happening and just nudges the unit across the white line a bit to block their path and then only pulls forward when there is a really long space ahead.

Verging on the ridiculous IMHO.
Can I jump the 5-mile queue for a fresh mug of leafy goodness?

You have my sympathy, Landers [/whisper]
Lovely day here, so I might leave work early and get a few miles in before it gets dark.
A brew in the meantime, I think...

Just been for a brief post-prandial spin in the sunshine. Only ten minutes, but it gets the mind working again.
Now it's time for tea until it's brought safely to a halt.

Brew me up guys! (If you'd be so kind...)
I'm feeling much better having been pointed in the direction of the guilty pleasure that is Fuzzy's Grub.
Pretty much a full roast dinner, but in butty form! Admittedly, I'll probably need to do PBP to burn it off...
