10 degrees and sunny, a glorious day for a commute ... filtered past my wife on the M1, who later drew along side me to wave. It's days like these I really don't mind going to work.

Discovering that my lack of a clutch and it's ejection of hydraulic fluid was not down to a failed slave cylinder, which on the Zafira necessitates removal of the clutch and gearbox for access. It was a connection that had not been properly remade the last time someone worked on the clutch, and needed no more than a clean up and reclipping into place. An hour instead of a whole day.

It's a lovely feeling when that happens

Writing up the service history for my SV so it makes sense, rather than being a pile of receipts and MOT certificates. I'd forgotten half the work I've done on it in the last few years. Possibly more time than I've spent riding it!


Although this year I have gone over estimated mileage I stated for insurance already with a few months left to go. Phoned insurance (Bennetts) to check and see how much to up the mileage. They added the bar conversion too and noted I'm now an IAM member (they can do that even if you haven't qualified yet), and I didn't get stung half as badly as I though I would. Cost to add those updates and double annual mileage to 6,000 was £40.50. Considering £35 of that is probably an admin fee I was quite pleased.

No, simply not an English words that says :-

Overdue, about time, now you know what it feels like, boot on the other foot. Don't come crying to me.

Work related, so all I can say.
En retard, il était temps, maintenant tu sais ce que ça fait, botte sur l'autre pied. Ne venez pas pleurer pour moi.
