I've just washed the car and polished the bonnet......thats as far as I got as the arthritis in my shoulder is now hurting 
Think I'll invest in a cordless polisher.

Hi folks 
The wheel problem is sorted...apparently with todays wheels only half or so of the axel threads rest on the drop outs. I thought the axle was too short but its not so fitted it....ho hum for newbies buying spares online its a confusing esoteric minefield. I'll get into the swing of it when im 85 
40mph winds today so not doing much, going to plant some garlic soon so selected about 60 of the fattest cloves from this years crop ready to go in.

Strange but I am still hungry after my egg buttie.
I have some Camembert cheese which is shouting to me. It is now coming to temperature.

MrsD's little AJS 125 has been delivered.
Must say it's a pretty little thing, well made, fairly high spec. Feels like a much bigger bike than it is. She's going out for a spin this afternoon.

WoW hard to believe that is a 125cc looks a lot bigger....enjoy Mrs D
She's just come back after her first ride in nearly 20 years. Everything seems a bit strange at the moment but I have every confidence that she'll be back to her old form in next to no time.

Another little walk done. That’s 3 for the day, all quite short but still adds up to nearly 12 miles. I suspect tomorrow will be zero walks as we have an amber weather warning for very heavy rain all day.

Finally managed to get out on my bike for a decent ride
annoying thing is that I got back and the mileometer said 20 miles
Strava however claims it is 19.93 miles - if I had known I would have pootled around the estate for 5 minutes to get to 20!!
Anyway - good thing is that we had a flu jab yesterday and, after some faffing about, managed to get Covid jabs this afternoon
So that's all sorted!
