RAnother late, swift ale at the Swan & Railway on the way home.  Delight at finding Doctor Morton’s Duck Baffler, seemed entirely appropriate.

Bit of a session on the new bonus scheme, people are getting a bit uptight about it.  Had nothing from it yet but then my value hasn’t been wonderful.  But believe we are getting there.  Think one of the issues is that it is very difficult to calculate value beyond the basics.

Obviously this screen is not going to tell me anything useful.

A day of lazy shopping and gentle cooking.  Pedals, Hex Keys and Gloves arrive.  The 15mm spanner the web tells me is useful for pedal changing is in fact no use, looks like an 18mm is needed.  Which spanner is missing from the set I own.  Yep, the 18mm… order one.  Need grease as well which I order.  C is convinced the bike is costing a fortune.  It’s not, more a case of well being.

JSo last day off for a couple of days. A day of rest, a few bits and bobs done, phone the vet and sort cat tabs, ask about her vaccination date. She’s due jabs the middle of next month so need to ring back at the beginning of the month.

Another attempt at fitting the new handlebar grips, resign myself to the notion it ain’t happening.  Order a different set that are simpler and supposedly rubber.  Hoping they are easier to fit.
