JSo 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.

What I’m doing nowA 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!

Well one wheel is fine, other is fucked… we go again tomorrow night!

Need to get a small socket set and small saddle bag.
