Morning all. Grey and dull here again. Wet roads and low temps mean the bike is probably going to stay put today. A couple of gardening jobs and walk Mabel but the rest of it will be indoors stuff I think.

Anyone got anything exciting planned for the day?

Grey and blinkin' well freezing here, so while I have thought about a spin on the bike, the attractions of central heating, regular coffees and not freezing my @rse off is currently winning!

Got some catching up on TV shows to do: need to finish Cra / Torment, the Gaelic drama on iPlayer and a couple of other things too.

Oops, just remembered I'm working at a repair café this afternoon! Better get my skates on and get going.

What sorts of things get brought into the repair caff, Gary? What sort of strange / memorable stuff have you worked on?

Went for a walk through the local woods with Lady Poppy this morning as it was dull but dry and chilly. As I was having lunch later I decided the roads were dry enough so.... I got out for my first ride of the year. Thank heavens for two wheel therapy (and heated grips, and MnS thermal long johns).

Bullseye fired straight up and ran sweet as, but I was a bit chilly when I got back 90 minutes later. First time I've been out in Feb for quite a few years, and I still have a grin on my face.

All sorts comes in for repair Craig. I've had clocks, lamps, ornaments, computers, bicycles, sewing machines (both electric and hand cranked). I've also dealt with kettles, steam cleaners strimmers, lawnmowers, lots of garden tools for sharpening - the list is endless. It's good fun and very rewarding.

It's always so good to get out on two wheels, even at this time of the year Trevor. Four wheels may move the body, but two wheels definitely move the soul!
