You have to ask yourself, was it worth all tending and caring. Our total crop of potatoes....

Not many there. Hope they have a nice flavour. I can’t remember all the varieties dad used to grow but some definitely had much more flavour than others.

To be fair I said I felt I was walking like an old drunk......I didn' feel like an old drunk.
Pedantic I know

If you want an old drunk, where do I send him or her?

It arrived. That was quick. Still to put front mudguard on. Heck of a high front end even for an audax bike. Not sure whether to get it cut down a bit or just enjoy the comfort?

Thats nice, thats one seriously high front end.

Yes, a bit too high I think. Might pop it over to the bike shop and see if they can cut it down. Even closer to level with the saddle would be fine.

Yes, closer to the saddle will be good, maybe have a bike fit.

. My fixed is still not in full stealth mode, but its a lot quieter than it was,

My On-one Pompino was definitely not in stealth mode when I fitted a new chain on worn sprocket and chainring , but a plus of lone cycling no one to complain.

Could you flip the stem to lower the bars?

Sat next to me..

I'll get him onto the next Chester bound train then.

They reckon 21/2- 3 hours, so it'll be sometime next week when he gets there.

Now let me see if I've got this right? We've all passed 60, some 65, others 70 and I've a sneaking suspicion we've a couple at 75+ and perhaps an 80+

Dave is sat around drinking brandy and port at ten past four in the afternoon and at times feels like an old drunk.......

I'm saying nothing...............but Mrs P is doing something online upstairs so I've grabbed a "small" whisky......🤔🤔🤔

I had a "small" whisky about 3 months ago and only now is my digestive system nearly recovered I hope. Don't know where the age range starts but it certainly goes over 80 I am pretty sure.

I stagger a bit sometimes when walking while stone cold sober. Not a good look.
