Washed

Not a lot of news lately. The weekend was about chocked with all the usual life problems.  So I planned to pull Pepé out on Sunday morning. Instead  I was a bit under the weather. Something in the Tom Kerridge prawn curry upset my stomach.  Then I watched the crap football from Leicester and then it pee'd down. Heavy rain and the aftermath of Storm Hannah battered us. So. After work tonight I took the 🐕 for a walk and then hauled Pepé out. Although washed before the Meldrews' run a few weeks back. But all the mud on the roads was stuck under the engine and transmission. Panniers off and the extent of the muck could be seen. Spray with various concoctions and a bit of scrubbing with an old washing up brush. Cleaner. Some surface rust gone. Rear wheel still looks shitty.  Poor show from Triumph to leave uncoated alloy wheels! Ready for the weekend. Where to?

Fanciful!

When I said to Claire I was thinking of a ride to Exeter to see Oldham play the local side in League 2 of the EFL. She just replied to say it was "fanciful". Then I had a look on Google Maps and it was perhaps a little far for a day trip.  Nearly five hours each way and that's without any traffic considerations to impact the journey. So that was definitely fanciful.  So where to instead?
