Cutting my neighbours overhanging tree branches down. The leaves constantly block my drains. He likes to stand and watch me do it. Weirdo.

Buggered my leg a bit the other day riding my mtb.....it's always the stupid stuff - just rolled off a kerb and AAARGH!...did something wrong, not sure what.
Anyway, I'm off out to put 20 miles in.....sink or swim. It is roasting hot outside though.

Doing bugger-all today.
There's an "Excessive Heat Warning" in effect here.
No doubt.....it's only 8.30 and the place is already melting.

Replacing a ceiling extractor fan in the bathroom.

I'm basically a fully qualified electrician now.

One step at a time.

I said I replaced it. I don't say it's been tested.

Today I did 350 miles to collect an eBay bargain from near Heathrow, 4.5 hours down and 3 back because the M25 was doing M25 stuff (facepalm)

The Swedish cage was way better for the task than the car it replaced, climate control set just right and the adaptive cruise control made it too easy to cover miles while listening to a monster of a podcast. 8)


The bargain?
A set of SW motech upper and lower crash bars for a GS, 2 months old, unmarked and including the Diesel cost in the cage, half the new price for the set.
