Quiet day here, both daughters pissed last night and hungover this morning. Boy fresh as a daisy as he worked last night and had to start again at 11:00 am. I've got this fucking lurgy chest infection going around so not doing much. Was going to go out and bolt stuff to my CBF but!

Actually had to fix something on my CBF today. I had noticed that the indicators were being a bit fussy recently but I put it down to switching to winter gloves and clumsy fingers. Well today I went out for a bimble and wore my summer gloves as it is a balmy 10C here today, indicators stopped working altogether. So when I got home I had a good look. Hazards were working so not bulbs or indicator wiring or flasher unit, probably the switch. I took the switch to pieces and is was a bit gummed up but not looking to bad, blasted it with contact cleaner and drenched in ACF 50, all working perfectly. Gotta love a Honda When I was cleaning out my older 10 x 10 shed a couple of weeks ago, which is going to be my bike store, I found some of my old biking gear that I had basically forgotten about. Amongst the stash was some old West German dispatch rider boots. Got Volki made in West Germany written on them. Anyway they were soaked and probably had been for quite some time I was about to ditch them when my older daughter, who would call herself an Equestrian/Groom, said she could sort them and bring them back which she did. Wore the Volkies out today and while a bit tight to begin with they relaxed and were very comfy. Chuffed to bits with them and the care my daughter put into them. i have no doubt I will be stung for saddle soap/leather balm products for her in the near future. I need to get an older Aircool BMW to match the Volkies now. Not sure my Mrs will go for it but worth a try.

Never mind

Think Freddie Dobbs and his ilk and that will give you the picture.

Good idea, I might stump up for one for the fam as no one is going out as far as I know. Pubs are always full of red trouser wankers down here on their holibobs.

I didn’t expect you to for a minute. In fact I am surprised Six did.

I got a dark blue flat cap on a couple along from matey with a Xmas pud hat

Prolly

I’m in there. https://www.facebook.com/CornishChristmasHarmonyChoir/videos/923596419480836/?mibextid=wwXIfr

You do get shit conductors and shit choristers doesn’t change how it is supposed to work. Choir discipline is in direct proportion to its quality in most instances.

Alright I will attempt to explain in simple terms, although I doubt you will read it. Most choirs sing in harmony, in simple terms they all sing the same song to a slightly different set of notes or tune. Normally 4 parts/groups/gangs/ collections of voices in a male voice choir. Basses, Baritones, 2nd Tenors and Top Tenors. They mostly sing different notes in the same song mostly together, although they often start and stop singing at different times in the same song to create harmony/dynamics and range. The bod waving his hands at the front is controlling this, as well as the dynamics (volume) and Tempo (speed). It's a very difficult thing to do. Now are you any the wiser?

Timing

Off to Falmouth to take part this morning.

Had one of those FFS moments today. During the week I needed a multimeter and battery charger. Couldn't find mine despite hunting high and low Had a sense of humour failure and ordered new from Amazon. Guess what I found today Not to pissed off and the new battery charger is much better than my old one. Oh and spent two hours unblocking the drain after lifting the manhole to find a good foot deep of jobbies floating. All clear now but if I have. a least favourite job that's it. I've had a great day so far.

Did you see it? I'll wait till I can see it for nothing, no way I was going to pay £27 to see Usyk do the same again. Heard Dubois made a twat of himself at the end.

One of my work mates is also a biker and has been for close to 50 years, anyway he was having a clear out. He asked me if I could find a home for these old fibreglass panniers and top box rather than throw them out. I probably know more people into biking than him. Anyway brought them home and rehomed them in a day. The panniers are going on a Velocette and the top box is destined to go on a BSA Bantam.

Worked Friday night, slept most of Saturday now waiting for some light so I can go out and clean my CBF as it has been neglected the last three weeks as I have been shedding. Working again tonight.

Yep I can see that coming especially as I voted for Pete.

Not such a bad idea

Cheers mate, worth it to get ‘She Who Must Be Obeyed’ off my back. Plus there is plenty of scope to hide new stuff

Shed all sorted now.

In Penzance, Redruth next

Next call fucking Penzance

Interesting night, probably best not be sick in Cornwall tonight. Down to 3 cars for the whole county when there are usually 8. . Doesn’t make a lot of difference to us on the ground as we can only work to capacity but it is providing a piss poor service. Like most of the NHS we are clinging on by our finger nails. Currently in Rock for an End of Life call. Then Camelford, Newquay and St Columb, Be more after that, gonna get the mileage in tonight. Lot of people waiting a long time for care.
