15th February O
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.
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.
A day of bike fettling, would be great if I knew what I was doing! C off from work. Waiting on arrival of late required inner tubes! Fucked up when removing the tyres, mind you gawd alone knows how old the tubes were that were in the bike. New saddle arrives as well. Might not get to ride into work tomorrow, depends on arrival time of the tubes. They are meant to be here by 10pm. Arrive at about 7.00, tyres are a bastard to fit back but seem to manage. Get’em back on the bike, will pump up tonight to see how well I’ve done!
