Day 2 of a stinking cold, exacerbated by a bunch of foxes right outside our house screaming at each other at 4am. Will mope around the house for the day.

Decorating, self level screed, skirting, saw, hammer etc etc...

Meh.

Put the fire on though to cure the paint.

If that Heida Reed is sniffing proper, i'll pay her a visit.

Onions HD - rough chop a load up and leave them on a plate in a room where you've been glossing and shut the windows and doors. Or, a rag with some Vinegar on it wiped gently on the surface of the gloss paint.

Me toots watching me. Nose is producing epic quantities of green stuff. Probably not endearing to Heida.

Laters walk and flowers for a particular gravestone. Maybe even a pedal.

I have a pair of Michelin Pro 3's in vgc going cheap if you want them. Low mileage. 1 careful owner from new. 25 cushty millimetres. Black with white writing - none of that retro off white combo sh1t.

thanks, but i have a big pile of veloflex tubs, ranging from new and ageing in the dark, to used repaired/awaiting repair, when i get really really really really really really bored, i repair them, probably should take into the office to do during meetings

annoying thing is these two were the much hyped vittoria corsa g+ graphene ones, lovely ride but seem to cut easier in the wet than the old fashioned veloflex

Good idea.

Hmm, surprising - and expensive. Though glass isn't your standard road debris is it? I moved over to Vittoria Open Pave's. Love them to bits. No punctures since swapping over (Feb on the winter bike, late March on the summer one).
When my current set of wheels finally give up the ghost, I just might be tempted to go for tubs...

I meant curing the paint on the wood burner, it's been painted with high temp stuff which hardens when the fires been on.

But thanks for the tip.

I used to be, but I'm more of a dog expert now.

Afternoon, busy day of chores and buying stuff. Now waiting to get scalped down at the barbers.

What time is the footy on?

Oh soz HD. I just use stove black - available from all good DIY shops. It'll go dull after a while. Unless you went for a grey?! I bet it stinks nonetheless.

Evening all,
Day of pottering and doing bits and bobs, nice and chilled as a Saturday should be.

Tortilla wraps for me. Can't wait.

Might pedal tonight. I'm gagging for a pedal. It's gone beyond want, it's now need.
