What's the Postie brought you today?

[Speicher]

A very large box from Decathlon, containing ski equipment.



My next door neighbour collected it earlier this evening. He is off to Slovenia next month.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

A cheque for cash back from Plusnet. Now if only they’d activate my broadband...

A new plastic driving licence.... I don't know what I was thinking, but it looks like I got it completely all wrong. My paper one expires a day before my 70th birthday this coming July, so I thought if I renew it now it would last 10 years, but no it expires the same day as my paper one..... Senior moment or what!

 

[slowmotion]

Five miniature microswitches.

As we don't have a what did the Yodel man bring you thread.... I got a pair of Castelli bibs from Planet X for the princely sum of £13. Mustn't grumble

Not sure yet as I can't be bothered to go outside and have a look (the mailbox is on the wall of the carport which is under the house) as it's too cold.

It will probably be more of the junk mail (estimated ratio to real mail in the region of 20:1) that I can't seem to switch off.

Nice new back wheel for my tourer, necessitated by the recent disintegration of its predecessor's rim.

I read with interest the thread about someone looking for a wheelset with a budget of £1K, before I realised that buying only one of those would triple the value of my bike.

Settled on this (forgive the ad):

Advertised as handbuilt, which I didn't expect for £45. I was slightly peeved when, expecting silver stainless spokes, they turned out to be black, but I've got used to the idea now. The hub wasn't the advertised RM30 either, but it's OK.

Slightly more pleased to find that, while my 32c Marathon Plusses were a b*gg*r to get off the old wheel, they went on the new one relatively easily.

A pair of 2nd hand chrome tipped front forks for one of my bikes. I need to clean them up a bit .

Open junk mail. Find prepaid reply envelope in it. Put junk mail into envelope. Post. It soon reduces.

I even followed the PO's own advice (can't find link now) and still the junk comes.

Mind you even the PO can pale into insignificance, yesterday Lovely Wife received seven separate envelopes from the Coventry Building Society all relating to a new ISA a/c she opened online with them last week! Crazy!

The postman delivered 2 Continental GP5000T tyres on Friday. Im waiting until it warms up a bit to set them up.

 

[booze and cake]

New tyres day here too.

And now fitted to me Brian with his new wheels, cassette and chain. Looking sharp.

 

[Reynard]

A 64 Gb usb memory stick and some watercolour pans.
