Mr Slowlys decided to join me for late lunch. This means it’ll be too late for varnishing

They really are. Surprisingly secure.

Thanks for that but that’s too bulky for me to bother with. These grippy Velcro strips are good for holding the brake on, flat small. Usueful for lots of things. I’ve actually got one on each leg at the moment holding my flowery trews inside my boot https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0746LNW8M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Me neither but it’s a thing. Doesn’t roll forward so easily but back oh yeah. I’ll just have to remember to leave the back wheel wedged against the kerb of whatever I can find.

Not been at home to ride it and when I got back had to work a lot to make up for gallivanting!

Don’t know Pete but I’ve never ridden anything that felt so light. It feels lighter than my 115kg 125.

Ha there’s no parking brake! Wot an oversight! Apparently there’s some sort of mod you can do but most people bungee the front brake. Harley fucked that up a bit ay! Some guy said he got off and turned back to look at the bike rolling backwards down the road!! You don’t expect to pay top dollar and have to carry a brake lever bungee with you do you?! Mind you what a wally not checking his bike was secure before waking away

Not sure, got it the day before we went galavanting. This is only my 2nd ride out on it.

This is better than varnishing doors. Nice sea breeze here. Stopped one short of the turning. Meant to be down there Found the only sliver of shade I could, can’t imagine battery bikes like being fried in the sun. It’s a bit steep, didn’t cross my mind I’d need a handbrake, couldn’t find it, hopefully it still be upright when I get back to it Way too hot for a cup of tea. Nice icey drink and a view of the Brizzle channel and the Severn crossing. Now just need to waste enough time that theres no point starting on varnishing, question is will there be enough charge for that?

I live with 3 boisterous, slightly clumsy people, steel toe caps indoors are the minimum necessary

Am I the 1 or the .5?

I laughed my head off at a mate of mine who's a proper fashion Nazi when I saw him wearing socks n sandals, he would have crucified anyone else doing it but he protested so much about the comfort level of socks and sandals I tried it and blow me down he was right it is very comfortable. But I only wear sandals when its exceptionally hot or they're the strappy heeled variety and socks don't happen in either of those scenarios You wanna let your feet be happy in socks n sandals rock on. I get it- oddly enough due to a fashion Nazi!

Would it be better to release final effluent into a secondary reservoir? It could be used for watering crops and all the other things that are currently under threat from water shortage?

Thats a bit of a shame, although it was a bit frightening

I look forward to reading it!

So how does someone discharge in to the sewer without them knowing about it, commercial interests?

12 six panel doors with varnish so not a lot of fun. Looked at the varnish calculator on the website- approximately 2 hours per door, each requires 2-3 coats with a light sanding before the final coat and 8 hours dry time between those coats and that doesnt include the door jams and skirting, Its going to be like Fort feckin Bridge, talk about wish you never started something

Ah dancing in time and co-ordinated a dead giveaway theyre not British

That must be a bit disheartening. Why are the screen removed?

Yer theyre lifelong aren't they but even so its been a few decades!

Blimey someone stabbed Salman Rushdie!

Brilliant. And you say your balance feels a bit off?!!!

But they do though dont they, regularly. Last year I rode to Sheppey. It was full of hundreds of dead fish, Wessex water killed an estimated 8000 fish. https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/somerset-river-pollution-killed-8000-5741611 I looked it up and even though its only supposed to happed under certain circumstances (the storm stuff you mention) it happens all the time. Unless the Environment Agency is fibbing but I don't think thats their bag. Here's a more recent article. 375,000 times last year. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/31/sewage-released-into-english-rivers-for-27m-hours-last-year-by-water-firms
