Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.
A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking. Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive. The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed. Which spanner is missing from the set I own. Yep, the 18mm… order one. Need grease as well which I order. C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune. It’s not, more a case of well being.
Day off and it’s been a busy day. Off to Wigan to fetch the bike. Get off and nip into Go Outdoors… third set of handgrips and new daysack, (zips on the last are pissing about so bin beckons). Coffee at Kawa’s. Train, fetch meds for Elsie and then to Aldi. Get stuff for tonight’s tea. Discover it’s only C and myself. Cook us a bolognese. Then off for a new Qi charger, the bits I forgot, grab a quick pint, then a haircut. Go to find C a wheatbag, proves to be a more problematic thing than it should be. Sort handgrips (the hairspray tip works!) and cook.
Pre-order the new Jetstream Pony album. Meet C off bus and a wee drop in the hand in the lickers. Back and food.
Hmm back to work today, need to work on the whole value thing. News from Nathan is he’s expecting a wee girl. Day wasn’t too bad, some clangers but some good news too.
So last day off for a couple of days. A day of rest, a few bits and bobs done, phone the vet and sort cat tabs, ask about her vaccination date. She’s due jabs the middle of next month so need to ring back at the beginning of the month.
Another attempt at fitting the new handlebar grips, resign myself to the notion it ain’t happening. Order a different set that are simpler and supposedly rubber. Hoping they are easier to fit.
