Left it at home because of work. Looks like I'm doing the same tomorrow as it's supposed to piss it down.

Into work. The bike feels a bit sloppy (for want of a better expression) I think the chain needs tightening and I need to have a play with my tyre pressures to find something to suit me.

6 hours cleaning? I don't think my bikes get that in their life time with me.

Typical. Just started to bleed my brakes and it started to rain. I need a garage.
I also spotted the rear brake line resting against the tyre. It had cut through but not to the fluid. I'm lucky.

Well weather here has finally abated so fingers crossed should get out for a couple of hours this morning.
What a Sunday, bike for a couple of hours then back in the she cave with my soldering gun, dinner with my youngest (unfortunately I have to cook it)
then back in the she cave to while away a few hours.
Thankfully the she cave is attached to my bedroom so not too dark and draughty in the evenings
Live each day as your last as one day you'll be right !!
