Re: What are you doing today ??

Have some cycling planned, but it's a wee bit brisk outside at the moment, so I'm going to give it a few hours before I head out. Might have to bundle up a bit.

A cut off zip tie worked well. https://scontent-man2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/426261742_10161524995088436_7442457045479164263_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=dd5e9f&_nc_ohc=_4l6bf0u9WQAX8zKquw&_nc_oc=AQmOvhi4TnDvWEgUtM3hzRw4IAWicCA9YiwztVhvv2Xb31j40dLw0ueqshXgPduL1HI&_nc_ht=scontent-man2-1.xx&oh=00_AfBH8hrCFuR9kxVXjwsT2QtKx_YjzO0wGOQJgABgpMnhTw&oe=65C5BDB6 ...
