Agree with this. Although, my scarpa goretex mid boots have been perfectly comfortable from day one, but they do leak in really wet weather, the same as my Merrells. I've got a pair of Berghaus fell walking boots, which are completely waterproof but they're a bit heavy and make my lower shins sore after several hours walking. For the most part the Scarpa boots are my favourite, because they're so comfortable and pretty decent support and grip.

Hmmm.......I'm not sure that will work?

I put up a 8×6 shed at our old house in the UK. It was a cheap (relatively) wooden thing and it was shit! It went together reasonably OK, but all the shiplap on the walls bowed and distorted within a few months, which then let the rain and little furry creatures in. Eventually it became pretty much unusable. It was still standing when we sold the house, but I'd guess that the new owners would have taken it down, before it fell down. The moral of the story is that wooden sheds can appear to be a reasonably cost effective solution, but decent ones can get pretty expensive!

ACF50 is a wonder, but, for some weird reason, we can't get it here! I guess that, because it's a pretty dry atmosphere and they don't salt the roads here in winter, there's probably not much of a market for it. Good show, on the fitness regime, keeping it going is the hardest part.

One for @yen_powell?

True, probably need a trampoline!

It's OK, but I'm not sure that it restores the bounce!

Mandy's daughter was in mainland UK for a training course last week. Her bike was stolen on her last night there, whilst she was visiting a friend in Leeds. It's like the fuckin' wild west over there now! Someone saw the hoodied oiks taking it and reported it to the police, but they're not going to do anything about it because they couldn't get a positive identification of the thieves. The bike is a 20 year old Triumph Speed 4 in bright green, so it's pretty distinctive and not worth a lot, so it was probably joy riders. She's well gutted!

I was on holiday and then been a bit busy since I got back, Pete.
