So the wife has spent my new bike money on a new house roof. OK I can live with that.
Came home last night and the work has started. The scaffolding has gone up. One problem. Bike in garage, scaffolding up drive with insufficient space to pass and skip blocking drive beyond scaffolding. The roofer know I have a bike, you would have thought he would have left clearance when he was having scaffold installed and skip delivered. Somebody up there hates me

If the man upstairs now decides to provide you with three weeks of dry sunny days, then you can be sure. Or even worse if it rains during the week, so the builders can't work and then the sun comes out at the weekend when they leave, then the scaffolding could be there for ages.....guess we'll have to watch this space.
My sympathies won't help, but you have them anyway. |

Its a lousy forecast into next week Tim. Earn some brownie points this weekend then when the skip's gone, and the weather improves, you'llbe allowed out to play.

That is the ultimate torture, first lose new bike money and then you can't ride your current bike either......where's the karma!

I was working at Preston site last Friday so went in on the bike. Finished lunchtime so popped round to your gaff. why is the garage not yet erected. It seems to be resting against the side of the house. Or is it propping it up? Anyway I was out on the bike. You were out. Or more likely not answering the door when I knocked
