Tea? (Part 1)

[TheDoctor]

There are lots of bees in the garden, and they are very sensible bees in that they prefer to bee out doors. I think I prefer a mouse indoors to a wasp, provided I know where the mouse is. (mouse is - that does not sound right - mice is - no um ....)

It should be near your PC...

Where's this meteor shower then?

I'm off to the garden with my binocs.

*puts kettle on*

*stomps back in to look for binocs.*

*kettle still not boiled.*

 

[tdr1nka]

*stomps back in*

Very high cloud, stars are all faint and blinky.

Not enough sky visible from my yard, innit.

Poo.

Tea anyone?

 

[tdr1nka]

Yay! I'm twittering!

 

[tdr1nka]

Where the devil is the tea?

*tsk*

*puts kettle on*

 

[mr Mag00]

too cloudy here last night for the meteor shower, i assume thats what you were doing outside tdrinka with binos?

 

[tdr1nka]

Yup!
No sign of 'em tho.

The glare of the inner city lights doesn't help much.

Milk, sugar?

 

[tdr1nka]

Blimey!
Only me and the tumble weed in here today.

 

[cookiemonster]

Saw some pretty good meteors last night here in Southern France

Apparently, tonight is the best night to see them.


*helps to clear away tumbleweed*

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I'll have a tea please if there's no other takers, I'm gasping!

 

[tdr1nka]

Tea Up!

Apparently the meteors are more visible further north.
If the cloud cover clears tonight I might take a spin out to some higher ground with less light pollution.

When these showers happen I'm always in mind of 'Day Of The Triffids'.

 

[Arch]

Apparently the meteors are more visible further north.

Yeah, I should make the effort to look out tonight, they are forecasting clear skies...

Any tea on the go?

And has anyone seen my tumbleweed, I think I left it here yesterday....

 

[tdr1nka]

What to do, what to do?

Ok, so the good lady and I are off to Margate for a few days and we're taking the tandem!

All good so far!

The problem is the gears.
We've only had four of the 2x5 speed to date and I have finally got around to looking at the bike this afternoon, I also have only until 21:00hr TONIGHT to get it sorted before we go tomorrow night and I'm working all day tomorrow.

I have to take out the cable to thread it back thru a replacement indexing down shifter that I believe will help the problems I've been getting.

It is a very long cable, and I don't have a spare.

Now, do I start trying to re route the cable and prey I don't fray the end leaving it impossible to thread back thru the casings or do I just go to Margate with four gears. Hmmmmmmmmmm...........

More tea make brain work.

 

[Arch]

Can you seal the end a bit with a blob of wax or something (shred of masking tape?), to lessen the fraying risk?

Or, how hilly is Margate?

 

[Landslide]

Hmm. I'd want to be pretty sure I had a spare cable to hand before trying that sort of malarkey...
