  1. Hope you all have a nice week, I'm off to Sardinia this weekend for a
    week's training camp. It's skate training rather than cycling, mind,
    but we should be doing some longer tours so will still see plenty of
    scenery.

    Sorry! At least you're likely to have a nice weekend's weather, it's
    so beautiful outdoors.

    FSVO beautiful, forecast for Sunday high 9 low -2, still it's better
    than prevailing down all day, I am riding a reliability trial of my own
    devising which is agood way to make sure I don't get dropped as no-one
    else knows the way ;-)

    Ar. Note to self: gloves which are marked "windproof" do not necessarily
    prevent the egress of warmth through the fingertips when these are being
    used to hold one upright at traffic lights...

    This weekend I are mostly watching Ruggerby foopball, celebrating BiL's
    birthday and repopulating my new Shedde.

    Like Kant, it is my wish to create my own individual epistemology. But
    I also wish to find out what is for pudding.

    whoever manufactured my "windproof waterproof" glubs went to the same
    marketing studies college as yours (as evinced by foolhardy attempt to
    go and watch veteran cars 2 weeks ago but made the more worthwile
    seeing drivers of same and officious marshalls doing drowned rat
    impersonations)

    repopulating my new Shedde.

    with what / whom? Sheddi?

    probably piles of faxes to MI5

    They /are/ windproof and quite warm when used in the conventional manner.

    Two bicycles, BoB, assorted tools, nuts, bolts, screws, washers, chunks of
    aluminium, brake fluid, deckchairs, Magura service kit, a giant garden
    umbrella (used twice, and not by me), boxes of ancient and quite useless
    spokes, a pair of 27" wheels, a garden shredder (anyone want one?), a
    carbon-fibre trike seat and a round thing which hav no use at all...

    Would a garden shedder be more useful?

    I am not an inhabitant of said shedde. The joke was all mine own.
    Please explain.

    It has rather fetching bamboo blinds, while the only reading matter is:

    o a Magura brake manual, and
    o the instructions for the torque wrench I purchased in a fit of madness

    Anyway, it now looks suitably Sheddi, so when the man from building control
    comes roundd tomorrow, he will not make me pull it down on the grounds of it
    not being a conservatory as such.

    Bribe said council official with tea and biscuits.
    Tea being prepared on a pre-war Primus and served in an enamel mug.
    I leave choice of biscuits to the choir.
    No socially respectable conservatory would be seen dead providing such
    fare. Or 'sitooterie' to perpetuate in electrons a neologism coined by my
    father.

    'Sitooterie' is neither a neologism nor coined by your father, unless you
    are much older than I think you are. Widely used in southern Scotland
    for the last forty years to my certain knowledge.

    Insufficient space for sitting now that it is fully populated with bicycles,
    tricycle, assorted tqt and the long-lost BHPC (Evil) Gazebo. The Architect
    is entertaining the building control man and she's got much better legs than
    I have...
