Marvellous news, dear Crinkles. If I had your postal address, i would have sent something.

Yes, I know I've been to your house, but that doesn't mean I know the address!

I dunno. Add "Jolly cake baking lady with adorable children" and I bet it would get there....

On the good news front, Max seems to like his Toddlebike, and had worked out how to get on it, and toddle it, within an hour or so. I'm hoping to get some good action photos by Friday.

Normal coffee service has resumed at THoFC, due to a delivery from Dualit arriving with this morning's post.

Phew! I was beginning to worry.

How have you managed to get through the Great North Yorkshire Coffee Drought of 2011?

Clarion, with great difficulty, i am surprised you didn't hear the cries of anguish

Interzen, I think York is a little far to go for my first cup of coffee, whilst still in my PJs. Plus, just add to the need for mind bleach, I really don't think you would appreciate me stood on your doorstep at 7AM in my PJs!!!

2 x tandems
2 x ladies fixed bikes
2 x geared road bikes
2 x MTBs
1 x pretty retro bike
2 x bikes in disrepair
1 x small childs bike
1 x bike trailer
1 x fella's bike

I hope we have a mild winter, there's no room for any wood!

And sheds are (generally) made of wood.
There you go, problem solved - the bikes can live indoors for the winter and you can burn the shed to keep warm

The BT man finally turned up yesterday (I've ranted about them not turning up previously) and he found out that the junction box and the cable to the socket were rotten. I now have a brand new socket and, for the first time in over a month, fully working telephone

Bonus is that my broadband speed has also trippled

They have now left Chicago, and are, I assume, some where over the Atlantic....

It's a Multifunktionslenker: http://www.roseversand.de/artikel/ergotec-multifunktionslenker-ahs-premium/aid:99351

And for the good news: My physio (I got one today

) told me I can cycle as much as I want with my ankle.
