Good evening. It's got warmer as the day has gone by. Mrs P has gone out to collect carpet sample books. This is good and bad news. A new bedroom carpet is needed, good. Paul has to decorate first, bad.

On the decorating front there is more to do. Last year we bought a large garden building, half shed, half summer house. It works well. It now needs a good preservative before winter sets in. What colour??? Mrs P has been considering this for sometime. I asked again for a decision, and got the response "You'll have to live with it longer than me. You choose." I was able to confide I'd been thinking the same thing for months 😁........and yes, in our house this is acceptable

16% mortgage........I still sweat just remembering it.......
 
Used the Whatshalfway app to choose a place to meet up with friends. Had a lovely lunch with them at the Wheatsheaf Inn in Lymm. Nice pint of ale (Hydes Hopster) and good food

Bertie Bantam sorted; the breather hole in the petrol tank cap was blocked and causing fuel starvation. Lot easier fix than I was expecting; I had suspected a serious ignition problem.
Now I've just got to seal the fibreglass tank on the Barracuda...

I’m off on Saturday for a short tour of the Scottish Borders and the Lake District, checked the bike over this afternoon and had a trial pack.
