Not true...
I don't tag people if they're not on, as I've no idea why they're missing.
Hope you're better sooner rather than later. Positive test?

Evening folks 
Its been a chilly old day but had a couple of strolls along the beach with the spaniel im looking after, returned to owner yay! much as i like dog sitting its good when they ****er off too 
Sent of for a honeysuckle the native variety, came through the post well packaged and good root system so in it went. Ive taken a risk buying a rose online
thing is, is that if it doesnt grow and they've sent any old crap it takes a while before i realise and too late to threaten with negative feedback. I planted a Dublin Bay which is a velvet red so wanted a white one for contrast with maybe a clematis or something in between, Swan Lake is the one i like and keeping my fingers crossed it turns out ok. £15 compared to 45-50 from the big nurseries

I was going to buy Cinelli cork bar tape for £12 but found some Deda cork tape for £7.99 which got very good reviews*** so I ordered that instead.
I think the singlespeed bike will look and feel a lot better once I have made these changes. I might even clean it after I have completed them!
*** The Deda tape also got 3% poor reviews on Amazon, but it is rare for products not to! I'll be careful when I fit it because some reviewers said that it tears easily. If it disappoints then I will stick to Cinelli in future.
And I did not know that was a thing . . .
I bought an early sixties Cinelli last December. It had red cable outers, which sort of led me to the idea of more red. Red wall tyres, red and black wheel rims. The cassette I bought has red spacers between the sprockets and there may just be a red Brooks B17 N fitted too . . .
Right now I am waiting for the frame to come back with a respray, When the frame returns, a thread will be started, of course. Better be quick, or more red options might appear.

Somebody recommended it to me years ago. I like it. It just seems that £12 is quite a lot to pay for bar tape!
Oh, I just found it at Merlin Cycles for £10 but you need to spend £20 for free delivery. Available in red!

Good morning folks, the family are here later, and I've got a gardening job to do this afternoon, some of my sweet peas are big enough now to be moved into their big pot, I got canes last week so I'll be constructing a wigwam for them to climb up. and a good morning from sunny Warrington. A cold and frosty start here. I was up at 0430, thought about staying up.....then went back to bed .MrsD is up early. I have made her breakfast Complan. It ain't cheap but it has 300 calories and she enjoys it so I am happy to do it.
See you later

Morning. I binge watched some old Midsomer Murders and a Lewis last night so didn't turn the light off till 1am. Still didn't sleep well as it was several hours before my knee calmed down. It will break my heart to lose my current exercise streak but it will have to be done to let it recover.
That's a week now and the bruising is only just starting to appear now. Don't let me change my mind and say I'm going out for a walk!
