We have a tv in every room. We have 2 in the bedroom so we can watch our own favourites.
The WC has a new 66" multi screen so we don't get bored on the kazi.
We do make sure they are all switched off between 0600 and 0615 so we can talk to each other.

I've been getting technical this morning, new bottom bracket ordered from Planet X Bikes, I had to take it apart, I couldn't remember the spindle length, it also gave me I chance to check it.

Lol. That's a new brand on me :laugh: I think I just about have a pair of every brand going! Asics, Adidas, Hoka, Altra, Nike, Saucony, Mizuno and no doubt others I have forgotten. I might have a problem :wacko:

That’s quite a collection Mo, the shoes that I was referring to were indeed “Hoka’s”
Not content with her Brommie having some Titanium bits, Mrs Tenkay herself also is part Titanium following a knee replacement many years ago.
Her recent return to the running scene came about when she realised that she was able to do the running part of the circuits class at our local gym without discomfort.
She wanted the maximum cushioning so got some Hoka Bondi shoes which she really likes and so got the same brand in a trail shoe.
She’s up to 10k now but is understandably very cautious.
(In the distant Mists of time, Mrs Tenkay won a Scottish AAA medal running 100km around the grounds of Herriot Watt 😎)

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

That, sir, is good.
I would have take it to the LBS as it is beyond me.
As a teenager I would try most things but not now.
