Rides and Touring / Re: Have you been out today?
« Last post by JefO on Today at 10:20:11 am »
Yesterday JiberJaber of this parish gave my legs a nice battering, with a superb ride of 50km. First up was a loop to the east of Chelmsford, taking in the wondrous bluebells of Danbury woods and along the canal followed by a loop to the west of Chelmsford both loops having a plentiful amount of elevation.

Photos etc are at  https://www.strava.com/activities/11269962354

The Pub / Re: Grammar that makes you cringe

English is quite rich in ways of being vague. So and like manage to serve both as expressions of vagueness and emphasis.

Be very careful about gate keeping.

Do you think that’s what I’m doing?

On a related note, I had one refuse to recognise a bag of keto-snacks on the grounds that someone had torn it open and helped themselves to two of them, which I only noticed when I discovered the hole on the third attempt and counted 10 rather than the expected 12.

I then had to explain the problem to the assistant, who was baffled that I'd noticed.

OT, but my pack of allegedly 12 toothbrush heads delivered by Amazon Sunday had but one head in it.  The box was sealed with a reusable sticker, which someone had obviously reused after helping themselves to eleven of the heads.  Nice of them to leave me one, I thought.

When I was still working for the museum, we had to be on site the following morning. One of our party was lacking steel toed footwear, so an order was duly placed with RS, with a 'before 10:00' delivery.
When the parcel turned up it did indeed contain a pair of size 42 steel toed boots.
Only these had reached the end of their service life with the outer heels worn down at a jaunty angle.
Doubtless, someone at the RS warehouse was walking about in a pair of nice shiny new boots.

In what world does Apollo not need a social worker? Strange indeed.

I had to light the fire.  I was blipping the CH but that costs money and the fire doesn't (likely to move house later this year and I think I'll be leaving logs in the wood store).
