Nice one, glad you enjoyed it.
I bet my old bike could go faster and gad faster 0-60 mph.
A good day out in Westbourne and Bournemouth. After dropping a couple of things off at our daughters flat I set of for the Goat and Tricycle on foot. The pub is directly opposite the school that our granddaughter attends so I know how long it takes to walked there. I timed it perfectly as I didn't need to break stride as they opened the doors at Midday 😁. The Tesco Express near the flat is in an old chapel building and looks quite elegant from the outside. It's a bit surreal grabbing a twin pack of kitchen roll and looking up to see this:

I am watching a Christmas movie. Christmas at Catnip Cafe. I am happy as there’s lots of cats. 🐱

Chilly and bright again today here .
After breakfast and the second coffee we got out in the garden to do some minor cutting back and tidying, garden in surprisingly good shape considering but there have been some losses after the summer heat; was 'helped' by a Robin who came very close on a few occasions and was feasting on the insects etc that we must have revealed, was singing almost constantly as well.
After lunch got the winter wheel and tyre combo on the Stayer AR but even though the fork is supposed to take 35's with mudguards they didn't fit (rear is fine) so had to use another mudguard on the front so may have to look for new 'guards next year.
Did a bit of admin too so a productive day.

Night night all .
Quiz night was good , lots of money raised for the RNLI as we had a near record turnout . 😀
And we won too. Not sure how as Mrs exlaser, me and our friends are definitely not getting getting any better at doing quizzes as we get older .
I can only think that all the regular good teams didn’t turn up . 😂😂
