If the view looks like this and snow to come,
you need something like this.
Season’s greetings.

I have had these for a very long time, no idea what they were for. A game perhaps. Anyone seen them before & know what they are for?

I had something a bit less complicated in my car port, a loop of rope that hung from the roof to hook the saddle in. I even improved it with a piece of garden hose threaded in the loop part.
I think I saw the loop part floating around the garden (the rope has long rotted through now I have no bikes)
Went out to check… Yep it is still floating around.
I forget where I got the idea from but for working on any part of the bike it is brilliant, just initially adjust the height to suit the bike, thereafter it is just a matter of lifting the bike, putting the saddle in the loop (takes a couple of seconds) and you can work away on any part to your heart’s content.
I’d just sit on a milk crate to work.

Smart idea. 
At first I wanted to go for a mounting stand that bike shops have but I’d still have to lift the bike to fix it. Then I came across this kind of bike lift with pulley which enables you to lift the bike from the ground, even heavier models like e-bikes and I had a free ridgepole so that I could work indoors… That was critical. Meanwhile I adjusted the rope which was made for ceilings of up to four metres.

Is that a regular occurance Scot?
We usually get snow in winter but this is the most we have had for a long time.

I can’t wait to see the BBC’s weather appraisal of December…You can bet it will be…The Hottest, wettest, coldist, snowyist, (pick one) since records began…I don’t think they realise that ‘Climate’ is based on an average, not just one snowy winter…That’s just weather…

It does. It looks like an old woman with a shawl over her head and tucked under her chin

I’ve never actually been lucky enough to see one out in the wild.

Refuse to buy beer in cans, hate them, hate drinking out of them, always buy stubbies - there is nothing like glass.
Scrumpy Jack for me.
