P.S.
Has anyone heard from Speicher? Did she make orbit, or crash and burn horribly?

I am still in orbit, somewhere over the coast of Zanzibar, heading towards Madagascar, just trying to work out my manoooovering capabilities, to land safely.
I think it is left hand down a bit to turn right. Up to go down.
I need more practice, can you manage without me?

I'd suggest left hand down a bit, steady as she goes and full ahead sideways. 'Sorry, Pardon!'
I'd suggest you aim for one of the blue bits, they seem to be softer than th brown and green bits.

Also if you've got some big bloomers you might want to think about making a parachute.

Later as they approached the trike of spud, with a slightly puffed out chest and a flourish behold Franken trike! N-ick paused while he collected his thoughts about this well it had to be a trike because it has three wheels and a seat.
the at lest three possibly five different trikes had sort of been amalgamated in to one, with attachments! One was obviously a drop leafed table but the most prominent on was the harpoon gun on the front.
Get a lot of whales hear abuts?
No are kid, ony use it fur haggis; some of ems frisky buggers n need sum brining dann.
Er forgive me but did you say haggis?
Iy wild haggis we get round ear is sort after fur export up north, not same as the part domesticated uns they gets up theer, lot tastier see.
It was at this point a mass of baggage on wheels approached , ho good shouted n-ick with some relief my mechanic chappy byegad!
Ahoy there, byegad replied and did what on a normal vehicle would have been a emergency stop , this involved a lot of banging movement of baggage a bit of colourful language, a real life Franken trike; I thought I would never see one again that’s a five way cut and shut author scrungworth special.
Its dickerd said spud scuffing the floor with his monstrous boots torn between pride in his ride and misery at its present predicament.
It’s the parts see my double reciprocating Wernham inverted flange retaining cerclip retain-ton nut went years ago. N-ick looked up in to the sky rocking slowly on the balls of his foot, counting down slowly from five.
He reached three when byegad thrust his finger in the air and said right or left hand thread?
Jaw slack with shock spud stammered out left it has the dynamic kluge knocker on this model.
Byegad patted one or two of his 1000 pocketed jacket in a sort of absent minded way before plunging in to the luggage clad trike with again some muttering proudly produced the part, along with a new wheel and some frame clamps of his own design.

i will nip out in a bit and turn my trike lights on and off a for a bit see if you can get your bearings from them or you could stop and ask at the international space station, they probably could do with the company.

Sometimes I really worry about the state of the human race, global warming, the banking crisis, famine in Africa, the rise of capitalism in China, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan and whether my overdraft will ever reduce.
Then I read one of Marks rambling posts....
And think how much worse things could have been!

.... thereby not making it any easier for Speicher to come down.
This N-ick must be of a contortionist bent ......... or a 'bent contortionist.
We should be told
Nick used to be the strangest person I know. Then I met the Sun Bronzed Geek God.
I'm not sure if Nick's managed to spot Speicher in orbit with his telescope. Hopefully her modesty will be preserved as she fashions her bloomers into an effective parachute for re-entry.
Can Nick stand on the balls of his foot? Possibly!

I waited until I was on the dark side of the moon, before removing the afore-mentioned blooooming bloomers.
Fashioning them into a parachute is going to be tricky, in the absence of sewing implements. I will need'll the help I can get. If I send you my co-ordinates calculated on the prospective trajectory, can you launch the prequisite items. Please note I am a girly therefore my catching skills may not be brilliant.

Forget it, all our rockets have been used up. Try aiming for a blue patch and remember to hold your breathe on the way down and breathe out on the way back up. Nick'll spot your trajectory and alert the appropriate navy.
How's your swimming skills. If poor use your bloomers as water wings. By the way your phone's reception is excellent!

The reception xxxxis a bit doxxxxxxxdgy at timxxxxxes! Pease explin why Nick xxxxis standing on his balls.
Sorry to labour the point ...
.... but how can N-ick rock the sky on the balls of his foot ???
How did he get the sky down there - or his foot's balls up there ??
Must admit, I thought Speicher were made of sterner stuff:

In a youth hostel not far away a figure in a long duster coat 3” healed calf length boots, though he did not to add to his above average height, they were handy for concealing things, things best kept secret.
Taking a device from his pocket he turned the five concentric wheels in a thoughtful way scribbled some figures on piece of paper with a stubby pencil, flicked through a dog-eared note book, glanced at the wall clock put on his leather wide brimmed hat and went out to wait the arrival of the three.
Sunny days seemed to happen to other people, on the odd occasion the sun shone down on Luke he became very uncomfortable, listless and grumpy. So living in England had its advantages, Cleethorpes was a bonus; in the right climate he was a happy go lucky chirpy person that people found comfortable to be around.
As he trundled along on his mountain bike taking deep breaths of the fresh autumn air the feeling crept over him he had forgotten something, something important, something he had promised to do but he knew he had not, this feeling crept up on him from time to time.
Collage had been good today the plaster moulding had seemed to just fall in to place doing the assignment in half the time allowed had given Luke time to spar before he had to be home so a ride the long way around would be nice and relaxing.
Just coming out of the wood as he rode up to them a caravan of trikes emerged there was a steady stream of light hearted banter going back and forth.
