I just replaced the big ring on my 2-speed bike. I probably could have carried on with the old ring a while longer but it was getting... long in the tooth! 
The new one doesn't look as nice because it is grey rather than silver, but no matter. It feels (and sounds) subtly better and should wear the chain more slowly. I will keep the old one as an emergency spare in case I damage the new one.
I called in at the health centre to get the results of my health check. Everything ok except for cholesterol reading of 6.1. Looks like I will have to cut down on my Greek yoghurt habit, and reduce my cheddar intake by about 50% too. I must phone my sister tonight and see how she got with lowering hers. She had the same level at the start of the year.
I am off up the hill to sit in a friend's sunny garden for a chat. Catch you later!

You've got enough hair to have it cut into a Bob?
I am somewhat, well very, follicly challenged but my very good barber always takes 35-40 minutes for a cut and trim. It's great.

Well your natural frequency is between 8Hz & 17Hz. The mango has a natural frequency of 11Hz and the couscous has a frequency of up to 21Hz.Sorry.....but it does not make any sound, maybe your hearing is better than mine
The problem comes when you mix the two, mango & couscous, as their combined frequency is lowered. Pick them up, and you "cancel out" their natural frequency. This means you don't hear a thing.

That sounds good. I will try that!
My pal's garden has had a lot of work done on it. I am not into gardening but I can see the appeal. It is taking an awful lot of work by 3 or 4 people. If I could afford to live somewhere like that AND also afford to pay a gardener, then YES PLEASE, otherwise... no thanks.
My pal is an electronics engineer specialising in audio. I asked if he had a spare stereo amp, on the off chance, and he DID. He sold me a recently serviced vintage amp for £30.
My plan is to use the amp with one of my several pairs of old hifi speakers to replace my TV soundbar. The £99 soundbar was a big improvement on the TV's own speakers but this new setup should easily surpass it.
I was going to use the Mission 77 bookshelf speakers that I used as a student in the mid-1980s, but I would have to put some shelves up for them...
I think I will make space and bring my massive floor-standing speakers down from the attic instead! They will be really good for TV sound, but also a huge improvement when I am watching music videos.

I’ve got this soundbar. Sits nicely under the telly. I just have the sub woofer but I think you can buy the 2 rear speakers to add if you want but I never bothered. It seems to throw the sound out quite well. It’s around 3 years old now but does me fine.

At that price, I would certainly hope so!
My cheapo soundbar (also a Samsung) was good value for the money, and I have put up with it for 7 years, but I think my ageing ears deserve/need something better.
I will give the old soundbar away with the TV when I buy my new set.
