Garden centre lunch was splendid. Both Geddy and Bruce got a lot of attention from ther other customers and staff.

I thought I ought to inform the collective that I have just come back from Boots in Widnes and they were playing Merry Christmas by Slade

Oh no. That's ruined my day now.😟

I go to a local pub for lunch (ie a bowl of chips) on Thursday or Friday....... they were playing Christmas stuff LAST week which was the middle of November. I don't like it but it must drive the staff nuts, all day every day for 6 weeks.

No point in me getting one but it looks the business.

Or do as I do. Wait for Mrs Tkk to go to the shops then heat the fluid in one of her stainless steel saucepans and borrow her electric toothbrush ( Philips Sonicare ) to reach the awkward parts of the bicycle chain. A quick rinse under the tap and she's none the wiser. 😉

Could add whether eccentric chain rings are a good thing into the equation the thread might not go round and round but start wobbling!
Morning folks looking forward to going for a spin today!

By eccentric do you mean oval chain rings? I've ridden these for 7 - 8 years. I love them and wouldn't go back to traditional rings.

Just come back froma ride to the airport control tower and back

missed any possible rain except for adrizzle by the airport and saw 2 aircraft land and 2 take off - which is cool!


anyway - got back and opened the shed
then wheeled the bike in and started putting it in its place and felt for the lock

and felt a pain in my finger

turned out there was a dark "thing" stuck in my finger and surrounded by blood

I could feel it was sticking out a bit and thought I will need to get my wife to get some tweezer sand pull it out

then I notice my tooldbox was open and the pliers were there#so I got the small ones and pulled it out


manly or WHAT!!!

I haven;t mentioned the last bit!


good thing is that the bleedign stopped
I take some anti clot (ting) pills so that is always a worry!

It's getting dark, and the rain is hammering down.
