Bit of a walk today to look at an old Motte and Bailey. That was totally hidden by trees and I couldn't get very close to it, so no pictures of that. The stream is the River Roding. I could hear some bloke huffing and puffing whilst thatching a roof but couldn't see him. Took the picture of the Beetle because I had one the same once. The straw fox caught me by surprise. Just liked the sunlight on some but not all of the grave stones. Is this God's way of telling you who was good and who was naughty during life? I'm colour blind but could see the Sloes a way off. Liked the stocks on the village sign.

When I get that it is for this reason. There is a water pump somewhere and it connects to a t-shaped pipe with an electrical box attached to it switching the water from just heating radiators, or just hot water, or both. The valve gets a bit clagged up with limescale so can't turn easily or the electric switch breaks and you end up with the valve stuck in one of the above positions or halfway between. I usually get radiators on when they are not supposed to be. I sometimes take the electric servo off (2 crosshead screws) and turn the pipe valve back and forth a few times with a spanner or pliers to keep it moving freely. The most likely time for the problem is at the end of summer because it hasn't moved to the radiator position for many months.

I like the green one with the small fairing but the other one made me gag with horror.

I went into London today to visit 2 sites. Roads are the same as usual. My contractor thought the lockdown started tomorrow and I have seen quite a few people on line thinking the same thing. That's the problem with using midnight as a start time, you should use 1or 2am, it makes more sense to people.

Thursday morning (00.01 as you said).

It's that dodgy over in Welshland, they have even had to stop charging people to get in.......

Well there has to be some upside to the long commute.

I see a bloke in the paper has formed a limited company and put all his extended family down as employees. He says he is going to have a non paid work related meeting on Christmas day where food will be provided so he can have more than 6 people there legally.

In the UK have found that I always average 50mph and the longer the distance the more likely it is spot on. I may ride faster but the various stops or traffic problems always bring it down to 50. Going in to work is different, I usually do the 50 mile trip in 45 minutes going in (average 66mph??), that's because it is a relatively uncluttered ride with no embuggerances. Coming home it usually takes an hour because of filtering through 5 or 6 miles of traffic before hitting the motorway, so back to the 50mph average again.

Remember Pete.....In the life of a man, there is a time to ride.....and there is a time to wax your bike...... GAME ON! Unfortunately I never have the time for the second one.

Perhaps it's an orange bike and the owner wanted a colour matched chain.

Maybe they matches the cheap Oxford Hot grips I bought a while back, all instructions in Polish! Luckily they had pictures as well. I sold them to a friend after realising I needed a pair slightly longer, they have English instructions as well.

You got the bar end bolt out??????

At least this time one couldn't splash petrol in the eyes of the other when filling up. I think that happened at least twice on the first programme, once was before they had even set off.

Pete, I'm a big fan of the right mouse click. When I want to answer a post I right click on the reply or quote button and open it in a new window. But on this site that just opens a replica of the page I am on. I have to reply with a normal mouse click which post my reply sending me to the last post then go back to the page I was on which a minute ago was 2 pages from the end.

I've been tier two-d apparently, along with most of Essex. I don't feel any different? Can I pop to Suffolk just up the road or will a rosy cheeked bobby jump out and arrest me? Only my crash bars have arrived at the shop and I has to go and get them.

As I have said before, I take no chances, I get off and push the bike round any sharp looking corners. You can't be too careful.

This is a picture of the one I hired in a foreign land to show Pete what they look like in the rain and the dark. Rain is like a sort of moisture falling from the sky Pete, it's not nice! The headlights aren't all that!! I nearly ran over a few joggers who liked to run in the dark before it got super hot. Bloody idiots..... Uga Uga.

Rub mud over the scratches to hide them.

He came home the night before and found a spare bolt in his trouser turn up. He's trying to see where it should have gone with his torch.

I meant the speed of my broadband was in the dial up range. Turning the huge key on the clockwork generator was a pain as well.

Because I now have a decent internet connection I am able to go through picture threads easily on this particular forum, something to do with the way the pics load here wasn't dial up speed friendly, so I have been following these brilliant write ups. I even feel I have recognised one or two places, especially the washed out road section, but of course it is a big country and I know that is unlikely.

Might be the stuffing coming out of the saddle.
