August 11th 2025 What I wore
What I wore on a day off. Cycled to the allotment. Did a few chores, put the coffee grounds round the plants. Brief chats with a few people. Then cycle back, grab a pint on the way as I was sweating buckets. Home and quick change of clothes before C gets in from her day with Vicky.

Cycle in today, nice wee ride in the rain, the glasses definitely need the addition of windscreen wipers. Quick change of plan to go to the top of the Mill to take this. Escherisc view of the stairs from above.
Day off. Day starts with me taking the piss… literally to the GPs. Whereupon NHS IT strikes, they have to hand write the sample form because the printer is dead. On the way up a couple of photos. Need to look at them to see if they are prompt suitable. Jump a bus back home.
Friday 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.
Last day off for a wee while and it’s a busy one. Laundrette day, change pedals day, bake 
Saturday, little light shopping, drink with C at the Tom & Gerry which seems populated by geriatric one armed bandit raiders with loud voices.
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!
