In complete contrast to last month, this month at work has been super slow.

Which is nice up to a point but I gotta do stuff! Or the brainworms will catch up! :/

Yeah they are very rough indeed 😅, but can't complain for literal scrap prices :D

With luck I'll get 1 rideable bike and maybe one wall hanger

I forgot just how devastatingly beautiful Sarah Winman's storytelling is.

At this stage making 1 decent, rideable mess is the goal. The leftovers might make a cool freak bike eventually tho :)

Oh god these are a mess....

Perfect winter sanity projects 😁

Ska now more than ever 🏁🏁

The PM holding a "do you guys still like me? Please say yes 🥺" Meeting while the country is under water for the 7th?, 8th? time this year is certainly A Strong Leadership Choice(tm) 😬

/ rare politics post over /

Update:

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

This library book has a hold slip from 2021 tucked in the front, I'd like to think subsequent readers have kept it as a piece of ephemera? Or am I the first reader in nearly 5 years? 🤔

Not the fastest but definitely the prettiest groupset :)

It's the best Smile Generator when riding through town :D

An orange tall bike with black tiger stripes and red/yellow tires against a green background

There's a cycling festival on this weekend in Cambridge... Do I dare dust off the Tall bike and ride it the 20kms in?

I'm in this post and I don't like it

😅

Wooo progress! It'll be back on the road in no time :)

Tonight's tunes; The Tubes - Inside Outside

This album is an utter trip from start to finish :D

Having owned an Escort and dealt with it's challenges... that's fair lol

Didnt notice the Tiida jumpscare XD

100% agree, Tiida's are skittish and hard to predict

Capping off the weekend the best way (again)

Team Escort or Team Hillman?

OMG incredible

You just can't beat #kirikiriroa on a good day, especially by bike :)

A close relation to the Smoko Room Feijoa is the Roadside Feijoa. Less common but just as tasty 😋

Treat yo self :D

Rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands🤘
Heavy, groovy, progressive, all the good things :)

The Elvis record is the same as my very first record, which got unceremoniously used as a Frisbee 😅

A collection of records and CDs on a wooden table

Apparently it's Record Store Day?

Hunting through collectors market stalls is more fun though :)

This car seems to be the epitome of "I don't think I shall, thank you" 🙃
