Dachshund running down the lane at Garsons Hill, went straight past me, no idea where it was headed then Toyota hilux thing with kids standing on the runner rails hanging onto the roof bars, booming past. Bit of a random evenings return.

Impressed. 8hp model (the digger, not your wheels)?

Proper allotment equipment there.

Hmm, only have these. Probably no good... sorry.

I think I might have, will check tonight.

Aarghhh flying things get out of my ears Jesus I know your ears are supposed to get bigger when you get old but felt like a pair of nets this evening and anyway if you bust a spoke what’s the ‘get me home without walking’ roadside fix as I got a spoke tool thing in the kit I carry and could do some adjustments but tonight ran over a squirrel but it didn’t seem to die so am hoping it just caught the tail so

So best I don’t check
-
Stabbed by spokes, jezums :(
Check the rest...
... er, slightly nervous now. Have to ride in tomorrow as usual so hopefully won’t die.
All the other spokes seem ok during the truing - and I just went and asked them now if they were all ok and none of them complained - is that the right thing to do?

Well... that was hilarious.
About 10 miles out from home, ‘ping’ and there goes a rear spoke.
Wheel tacos out of true, cue brake and mudguard moaning. Had to get the broom wagon home as not a chance it’d ride up the hills. Spent this evening fitting new spoke, truing wheel, repair puncture, strip and clean cassette, generally fuck around to sort all the shit out so now knackered, fed up and out of evening.
Commuting. pfff.
So tired, didn’t even smell the food...
