For context. This morning race around the Netherlands started. One rider is riding it on a cargo bike. Complete with crate on the front. You'd be amazed at how far people can ride on many different types of bike...

a person can ride anything pretty much anywhere with training. What the majority of people cannot do is go from 3km to 100km without training. It is never about the bike.

When we go back to the house I will be putting electric UFH in the large hall. just walking on a warm floor makes you feel warm.

Secret meetings? No, of course not they're "professionals meetings" and we always inform you of the outcome.
Well, let's show you your own lie - through subject access request under FOI Act, we have a heavily redacted minutes of meeting held in January, at which the local authority threatened our care company and predecided the outcome of a care planning meeting with us later that month, even going so far as to say "any resistance to this from mum should be documented". When did you inform us of that "professionals meeting"?
This was then used to ambush us at the actual meeting, unfortunately all the care they were trying to remove is fully endorsed/mandated by medical professionals. They just don't care and are fundamentally both dishonest and stupid at the same time.

I just got some Knipex TwinGrip Slip Joint Pliers.
Like all Knipex tools, very nicely made, and comfortable to hold. They've got a quite unusual set of jaws, aside from the ends, for those really hard to get to fittings, the more normal gripping location is very uniquely shaped, presumably to allow it to grip a wide variety of different sized heads, and to allow for when the jaw is opened up to its widest setting.
