Cleaned frame and oiled the chain on all three bikes this afternoon. The Specialized Roubaix and Cube Peloton are put away till next spring now and the Allez will be my winter bike for the very few outings I will do.

I got called to the shed clearing that should of happened yesterday. 3 dump runs a lot of junk and 60+ years of collected nuts, bolts and assorted screws, plus unidentified metals and a grand collection of ancient tools and paint tins. Plus some things from my childhood that I thought had gone many years back.
A couple of things we kept were some WW2 ammunition boxes that my dad kept old car parts and tools in. There is still some way to go, but at least Michael can now get in the shed.

Then, this afternoon MrsP wanted to go to the plant nursery to get some flower bulbs, came back with 100 assorted daffs, tulips and hyacinths.

Dog walked. Feeling a bit depressed really. In the news yesterday, the Earth is doomed, we're all going to boil.walking back through the village, watching the Range Rovers, Lexuses, various unnecessarily large cars, all with just a driver, all being driven like loons, all puking out filth.

The turkeys are continuing to vote for Christmas. Our race is doomed.

Leave Dustin out of it!!!

Cheer up matey - it'll soon be Christmas.

Another busy day at roadrash towers today, new skirting boards done today along with some more wallpapering, and the front door is back on now.

Plumber in this morning, new radiator put in under the window, old radiator disposed off, plumber leant it against the fence out the front and a short time later the local scrappy rolls up in his tatty transit and that's the last we saw of it. The job had a sting in the tail though, it's only the first or second time it's been drained, when it came to refilling it the boiler wouldn't, he had to repair the filling loop first, added sixty quid to the bill. I put the boarding back tonight, stripped the old wallpaper of the wall and filled the holes.

Von Trapp

I'd forgotten about them, but it begs the question, what's the sound of music got to do with me redecorating our front bedroom.
