Your dentist appointment wouldn't be at 2.30 perchance

We've had a little bit of welcomed rain overnight, nice and sunny now. 2nd coat of shed painting this morning and a bit of gardening.

I'm not sure it's been long enough to get over this work lark yet. This morning I was awoken after a strange dream that I had just crashed my train and was being demoted down to station staff! Do I need a psychologist?

My ride this morning came to a premature end just outside Coventry at the Nailcote hall lights. I'd clattered a pothole in Duggins lane and by the time I got to the lights it was obvious something was wrong, an inspection revealed a Pringle shaped rear wheel and a split in the rear hub.

. Nasty 4 letter word. Shouldn't be allowed. -

Yes, I think we should have a swear box, every time a person uses the “w” word they have to put £10 in the box.

No, but, I would stop playing with the model railway

OUCH the way the roads are I think a MTB is the way to go, you could try claiming off the council if the hole has all ready been reported by someone.

I drove down the road in the car and couldn't see the hole. It has torn one of the spokes out

Nice in Boscastle this morning.

Yes, then got changed and finished the trip in the car

That looks like a new wheel job, definitely claim against the council.
