so what are they
Mattress toppers, they make the seating you sleep on feel more like a traditional bed
This coming weekend will be the tenth away since the 5th of April, the only fixed dates we have as we march through winter is, mid November its my 65th Birthday so we will go away then and, we are planning to cook Christmas Dinner in the Moho. This is exactly what we intended for this year, we have been careful not to let this leisure time impact on our earning potential, but next year once at 65 years old, some potential working days will be sacrificed for leisure time.
so how many visitors will you be getting on christmas day
Could be a new game for Xmas Day Spitty?
Get your Chopper out!
and then the Song Game…dont you just love Xmas!
just leave spitty’s chopper alone
That was a wimps Chopper the MK2, the MK1 which I had was exciting (dangerous), see on the MK2 the frame above the rear axle has a dogleg in it to put the riders weight in front of the axle, on the MK1 the frame went straight up so the riders weight was behind the axle so, the front wheel spent more time in the air than on the road, also so, on the MK2 because the frame is doglegged it made the seat about six inches shorter so giving a backie to a mate was neigh on impossible
Had a fiddly job to do today. last night when I parked my van up, the steering wheel security locks activation arm fell apart, so I just rested it on the wheel so it looked activated, what had happened was a crosshead machine screw which holds the slide button on had come out. to refit required compressing the spring, this was done by tying it up compressed with twine) but I could no find a right angle screwdriver to retighten the screw so, I found an allen bolt with the same thread size which allowed me to tighten with an allen key.
You can just see the allen bolt to the right of the black knob
Once the bolt was tightened I cut the twine on the spring which expanded back into place
you just can’t trust black knobs
black knobs means no blood at least as oxidiation has occured importanr given the accident that did happen.
omg it’s Captain Scarlett and now I am in hiding…
I think it may be Captain Black
Off in a few minutes on the last pre-booked weekend of the official season, as we head into winter, time away will be very much Ad Hoc, depending on weather and site availability.
Here is a couple of photos of the hills taken last weekend.
I am 65 in a couple of weeks so have decided it is time to become sensible. On site a gentleman was selling a good quality lightweight LEGAL Ebike which I have decided to purchase so, its a trip back in my work van to collect, so next year, cycling through Cotswolds villages should not be such a fraught experience
Sure rhe state pension can afford it
Well, if it can’t we all sink together, a team of sorts.
how about share a bike for the over 65’s
