Free ChoiceFriday and I’m given a list.  But first its time to sort the panniers on the bike in daylight.  Discover I’d put them on back to front.  Relatively easy to sort.  Pop in the bike locks and job’s a good’un.

Onto the list. First off I am sent to the doctors to fetch blood forms, pots to piss in and to rearrange the time of the telephone consult.  Then to book a bloods appointment, ring the people concerned only to discover I have to book it online.  So online I go.  Next a trip to the post office to send Christine’s birthday card.

Next to sorting the pedals on the bike.  Much easier than I thought it’d be.

XLast day off for a wee while and it’s a busy one. Laundrette day, change pedals day, bake custard pie, make mince and potato pie, give the cat her flea and worming treatment. Hoover and clean the oven and kitchen.

So Laundrette had a dryer hog, it started pissing down as I left. Cat avoided the pills. But on the plus side the custard pie seems to have worked. Mince and potato pie is a work in progress.

Feeling really shit, hit the booze to deal with it, not certain that that’s a good idea. That being said I just continue.

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.
