There is a good old fashion fix it shop near me that I intend to use in the future once the guarantee on my bike is up. Lots of my mates go there. Polar opposite to Dameralls. Not putting Dameralls down they are good as gold but big and corporate, Colin Flashman's is proper old school, they fix anything and do not rip you off. https://www.flashmanmotorcycles.co.uk/

I work weekends, today is one of my days off, hence having a bit of YouTube time.

Just mooching around the show room while they are fitting heated grips to my CB. Loads of bikes here as usual, several sold waiting for their 23 plate. My old Himalayan is in the showroom but no price tag on it yet. I do like the look of the Honda NCT 1100 tourers they have here. I would never buy one but they do look good. Also like the couple of Africa Twins they have as well as a nice Yam XSR.

I was wondering when yours would arrive. Looking forward to see how you are going to get on with it.

I like them mate but unfortunately they don't like me and are causing me some health issues. I don't want to change but have been told it would be a good idea for me to do so, not a good idea to ignore the docs advice.

Emailed my Boss today telling him I want to give up overnight working, and asked if I can work evenings and days. Gonna be an interesting week I think.

Yeah I don't really know to much about them, I used to like the old GS550 and have a soft spot for a GS1000E but never lived with either. I remember that I didn't like the Katana looks when they came out but it has grown on me over the years. What didn't you like about it Pete.

Bleddy hell.

Lovely old bike https://www.bikebound.com/2023/02/20/katana-650/

Your mates CB looks like a toy next to your GS. Mind you I was next to a Keeway ADV type 125 today and that was taller than my CB. I like the fact the CB feels like a 125 with a normal size engine in it.

Worked Friday night, had last night off to sing with my choir and had a blast. Our first concert back with our new Musical Director, went very well I thought. Even managed my solo piece without and feck ups. Bit fragile today, first time I have been to the pub for awhile. Back to work tonight. My weekend in a few sentences.

Cornwall is very much like Wales in many ways. Only everything here is pretty close to the sea, so most of us have webbed feet out of necessity

Been out with the Dear Boy this morning. Normal loop for me but murky misty out there so I tried to take some different shots for a changeI always fancied this house as it is the old Trenant farmhouse and barn conversion. Lovely about half a mile from the main road but in your own little Vally. This muddy set of steps has always been called Jacobs Ladder which I suppose is a reference to the hymn of the same nameA couple of interested faces this morning looking warm a cosy on a chilly morning I always enjoy that the Saint’s Way goes right through the middle of Tregaminion farm. Proper old school farmyard. We stopped and had a mooch around the tiny Tregaminion Church. It’s gonna be beautiful there soon when the Snowdrops and Daffodils show their heads. We then walked past the gate house/lodge to Menabilly House. We disturbed a few pheasants but on the hen stayed to stare at us. Then on to our old stomping ground of Polridmouth beach the Dear Boys happy place and home. 8k in total and it was good to be out again after 8 days of unwanted rest.

Stunningly good report and pictures Pedro,

Waters off a ducks back really, we have always had the sort of relationship.

I have asked the Mrs and its was confiscated by the primary school years ago. Little bits was running around trying to chop the boys with it, luckily it was only made of pine wood, apparently I wasn't told as Little Bits was worried I would have told her off. When the viking project was over she was only allowed to bring the shield home, if we wanted the axe back one of us had to go get it. Only found that out today

Bought more as a show off talking point rather than something to use

Just set off the SOS function on my Apple Watch. Wants to know if I had a fall and if it needs to call the emergency services What actually happened was Little Bits attacked me Kato style, hiding and jumping on me as I walked past.

New bit of garden art, well old primary school project for Little Bits that has been booted out of the revamped conservatory. Lots of competitive dad stuff back in those use days. Twas a Viking study so I made her a battle axe and shield. Dunno what happened to the axe.

I quite fancy doing some of his tours, I would probably try his Postie Bike Day to start with as it sounds like a laugh and it would be a good way to see if we got along.

I do like this chap and his outlook on life. One of life's Bimblers although he has done some epic international trips.

I worked as a small projects builder and Gardener/handy man for 6 years before my current job. I have put several of those Yardmaster sheds together, I agree they are a pain in the ass.

How to fix a pellet burner ?

I think that is a very good idea. I might start a shed building thread as that is my next task. Now the weather seems to be improving I want to get on with it.
