I was thinking Politically, the writers of Yes Minister couldn't have come up with a script like this year, and never mind America ffs.
You know its a bad day when.....

Well, I have just given 'Clive' to my brother to use, so I'll see
Is Clive happy about this? He sounds quite the trollop.

To, explain, Clive is a 1967 Claude Butler Sapphire which I bought off of that Snail murdering Biggs chap.
Intended for use as a Winter bike, it sat in the garage for years, waiting for me to break out of this awfuldepression malaise I am suffering from.
Then the powers that be decided I needed to get rid of a bike, but my Brother has long talked about getting a bike, so he has taken Clive to build and use.
And the name Clive??
Well, I found a piece of greaseproof paper in the seatpost with the a name, address and School for a Clive ****** (it is, thankfully an unusual name) of Surbiton. I looked him up and it seems he would have been 14 in 1967 (it lists Holyfield School on the piece of greaseproof paper) so, the original owner? I have never contacted him to find out, more I wanted to restore the bike first, then make contact (providing I have the right person).
My brother seems to be getting into the restoration of it, so maybe once it is finished then I can borrow it for a few pics and contact Clive, tell him his bike is OK and now living in Scotland!

It's a bit more complicated than that...
...when you wake up early knowing there's no coffee in the house.
Fortunately for my equanimity, that was yesterday. Mrs W and I finished it up on Wednesday morning, and because I get my coffee mail order it turned up in the office yesterday afternoon. I have had my fix today.

The little monkey (not what Mr M is calling him) still isn't home.
We've abandoned plans to go to the golf this afternoon and are now eating the picnic we made.
Wee guy in big trouble.

Michael Portillo was saying much the same on This Week last night - that this year has been politically one of almost daily jaw-droppers, from MPs getting murdered to Trump as nominee to Brexit to fist-fights between MEPs of the same party.

Leave her a tin of tuna and a can opener. She'll work it out when she gets hungry. Cats are smart. Everyone says so.View attachment 146843 You're going away for the weekend
