Tea? (Part 2)

*Rootles round in cupboard, finds Cornish Fairings*

Voila!

That book turned up today, cheers Doc!

I tried logging in at 1330 and couldn't. I thought I'd broked it...

Hee hee, at that exact moment we were all sitting in a cafe in Pocklington egging Admin on. Actually, he didn't need egging, he seemed quite keen to demonstrate his power...

Which message did you get, the one about being out with the posse, or delivering Cathryn's baby?

Got wet this morning, my shoes may have steel toecaps but they aren't waterproof. And I discovered when I took them off just now that the black dye on them isn't all that colourfast either - my feet looked like they'd been down a coalmine!

Evenings!

met with WCMnr this afternoon to give him back his bike his dad had been fettling for him (wheel required truing). Then I had a serious mooch for fabric shops.

I have bought something to inspire me to lose the weight I put back on during the period of enforced inactivity and less than healthy eating when I was chauffeuring MrWC about the place & then getting over my subsequent knee & hip problems.

That's exactly the style of clothing I wear when I'm NOT fat. So once I have lost weight (again ... sigh ...) I shall be making said garments as my reward to myself.

Arch... being a knitting buff, do you get a *frisson* of a wee thrill when looking through knitting patterns of days gone by? Seeing how some have become classics, undated and still wearable designs and others where you look at them and think "My god! What were we thinking?!"

If you do, you'll understand my excitement.

Mr WC has been in the loft and has found all my sewing patterns I've saved over the years. Boy, am I going to have fun looking through all of those! Especially my Vogue Paris Original...

 

[TheDoctor]

I get the same feeling looking at old bikes. I *really* wanted a Chopper when I was 10, but I rode one a year or so ago and it was awful. And I nearly bought an Itera
I'd still like a Kirk Precision though. Delzeqq reckons they're awful but I don't care - I still want one.

 

[Speicher]

What have you done to your font?

Ah yes... I'd love to get a hold of the same bikes I had as a kid.
Kirk Precisions were awful. Still are. I know of someone local who has one and it is this: sh*te. Sorry about that!

Has it been stolen from the chapel?

 

[Landslide]

Kirk Precision? If you really want a bike that flies in the face of accepted wisdom, and looks like summat out of Scrapheap Challenge as imagined by Kurt Geiger, you could always get a 'bent.

I can see now, it was the in the middle that changed the spacing, and it looked like a different font.

Oh yes, I know what you mean. I have a couple of 1930's housewife's manuals and they have some dreadful designs in them - knitted swimsuits and the like. (They also have some wonderfully coy yet detailed descriptions of the, um... acts of marriage....) But the simplest things never fail to work (I'm talking about the knitting here, not the, um... acts of marriage. Although...).

I think the one age that never fails to make me cringe though, in knitting and fashion terms, is the 80's.

Don't care. I want one because they look so utterly unlike a bike as we know it.

Having tried a good few 'bents, I think I like them. Except for the Windcheetah. I feckin' love that thing. I rode one of the new compact ones last summer and became visibly excited.
