Morning all, today is grim!

The world is conspiring against me!

Okay, that's a little over the top, but it's certainly raining quite hard outside.

Major job for today was to tidy my workshop before continuing to repair a boat. Popped down there this morning, and the job has to really start with making space so I can put up a new storage unit. However, of course, it's far to wet to put anything outside and the workshop is currently like one those little logic puzzles with 15 squares in a 4x4 grid, and you have to move them all round one by one to slowly move one bit from one side to the other! So nothing happening there then!

Also noticed that the bike I put away after Sundays ride is still as sparkling clean and lovely as when I put it away, it just has a completely flat front tyre! :evil:

That's just not fair. If you get a flat at the time and repair it, fine, that's life. But to put the bike away, safe in the knowledge that it's been cleaned, dried, polished and lubed and is as good as possible, ready for the next ride, and then find that the flat tyre pixies have attacked it in the night is just nasty! :evil:

Anyway, save my sanity with anything today, tales of happiness to make me feel better, or tales of much greater misfortune to make me feel much better!

Fred drift is welcome here! Have a good day, Jess.

re: flat tyres - how the HELL does that happen - happened to the misses bike. It was fine then two days later - a comedy flat!

I can't ride my bike until next week due to the world's crappest exam timetable, and the weather currently rains when i could be out and about and nice and clear and sunny when I'm either "revising"...well..... attacking house mates with card board tube swords or in an exam......... I built my new steed before xmas aswell and as of yet it has not been christened, its just sat next to my bed taunting me.
