No rain here. Last evening it got jolly gloomy and Mrs D swore blind she felt a few spots of precipitation, but no actual rain appeared.

We're in Warrington, the M6 was alternating 70 and 50 MPH limits but we had a good trip up. 97 miles door to door, took us 1 hour 55 minutes and my Suzuki Swift was averaging 59 mpg
Glorious North Devon weather again today. Just had a ride on my Willy Asole down to the newsagents to pick up Mrs Ds paper. Taking doggie for a walk next.
Sat outside my local last night and got chatting to some Grockles. Interesting to hear what other folk think of this area and funny when you see the look on their faces when I tell them - 'No, I'm not on holiday - I live here'. It's priceless every time.

Strange the way rain heavy clouds travel. Two mile on either side of us, they had a good downpour. Here? Just a few drops that even didn't wet the ground.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
The inner tube on my back wheel will have to be changed today. Should be fun. I have never done it and Mr WD hasn't done one for about 55 years.

That's not bag going at all. For some reason the economy meter in my Little Tikes car only reads up to 65MPG. It's been off the top of the scale since I filled it, which means its very economical or the gauge is busted. I like to think it's the former.

Trimmed my beard, gave it a going over with the number 6 comb on my clippers. I knew it was time when I was mistaken for Charlie Bronson and asked for an autograph.

I went for a bimble that lasted all of 1 mile. Tyre deflated again. Got home and we ( yes we) spent the next 2 1/2hours faffing around mainly with the nexus gear hub. Finally got the inner tube replaced, inflated, and the wheel back on with all the gears in the right position. Brake adjusted as well.
At least we know how to do it now. Next time it should only take about 30 minutes all in. It is amazing how fast you can do things when you know how they work. I have never replaced an inner tube and it has been about 55 years since Mr WD has done one.

Sounds positively disgusting!
