ICE and Bacchetta

[nobby]

So if you really need more shed space the DFs would be the ones to go (although a second shed would be easier)

I'm ok for storage space with long, narrow garage and a 10' by 10' shed up the garden. I've a small cellar as well and I found a partial Dawes non folding Shopper down there yesterday. I'd forgotten that.

Now that beats even Blodwyn Pig's finds. 

I am sometimes very envious of his finds!

I fell off yesterday.
Toppled over at a T junction. Lesson remembered from the past: if the junction may be blind, stop, put both feet down and look before proceeding.
I ended up going so slow that as I realised I couldn't see safely to my left I toppled over. The feet remembered what to do and the mind flashed 'it isn't far to go' and over I went.
It wasn't even slow motion; I didn't have time to polish my parachute roll although it would have been difficult with the bike between my legs.

I phoned Cycleman because he lends a sympathetic ear while he is laughing, and I felt ok.
An hour later I am sleeping and feeling distinctly unwell. The bikes 8 year old frame seems fine but my 70 plus frame is telling me that it resents unexpected meetings with the ground! 

Whoops. I hope you aren't too bruised!

Cheers Joan. Recovering well. It turns out that coffee and Welsh cakes are part of my cure.

Good prescription!

Remonds me of the day I bought my speed machine and cycled it back through London to get home. I was going through the park and feeling pretty damn pleased with myself, thinking I looked rather cool (not at all like an eccentric old bloke to avoid). Nonchalantly stopping at the entrance to the park, toppled gracefully to the amusement of a bunch of teenage girls. Hope your bruises recover quicker than my pride.

Traditionally, pride comes before the fall.
I suppose that once it is dented we notice that we have it.

No need to justify having both, just remind her of her wedding vow's.

Specifically the "Love, Honor & OBEY" part.

Then 'RUN LIKE 'ELL' and don't forget the flowers/box of chocolates when you return (much, much later).

You haven't been married long, I'd bet.
I started with flattery (my mother told me it was cheap), progressed to flowers but nowadays have to atone with jewellery 

Over 23 Yrs Married.
The love of my life.
Widower for 35 days.
Hug and cuddle every chance you get, Regret is a terrible thing.

 Sorry to hear you are a widower. My brother is still grieving after two years widowed.
I hit 50 years married in three weeks. It's made me feel old!
