Elementary screwdriver   https://tinkerandfix.co.uk/collections/elementary-screwdrivers
I have no real need for it, but it is so well designed.

I'll have to disagree - form over function.  Stanley screwdrivers are better.

I couldn't buy any'thing with such a need'less apostrophe. Ugh.

Wank.

Back to the topic at hand. I have power meter pedals which for someone as mediocre powered as me is entirely frippery. I love them.

Yeah. Try it with desperate computer salesmen doing due diligence on the phone and running their number-plate businesses on the company's time while you're trying to figure out a Univac 1100 Series config on the other side of a divider.  I got out of there ASAP.

Yup.  BTDT.  It was horrible.  For my money WFH* is (for software development at least) the best thing since sliced bread.

This must be the longest Kent have gone without losing a wicket to Surrey for quite some time.

I agree.  Full longs, base layers and gilet for tomorrow.  Here (12 miles south of Cambridge, its been decidedly chilly the past two days. Stop at spoons for coffee and burger and chips.  Possibly a BK just after Ely.

Forecast temps looking to be 3-9C maybe 11C peak if lucky.  Some forecasts have grey all day, Met Office has sun hiding behind clouds.  On Monday it was forecasting a peak of 15C and I was considering shorts, then 3/4s, but now I’m just considering longs especially given the northerly winds.

Pie and chips and gravy from the chip shop in Kings Lynn like last time me thinks, for my hot food stop.

I got some from Robert Dyas a few months back - this may or may not be useful information, depending on your location and their stock levels

Marriott's is the main one on the Quayside, we do the FNRttC Cambridge to King's Lynn breakfast there. The service can be slow but the food is usually good.
I'd like to avoid entering the one way system in KL as it usually leads to me getting lost.
