Another Wifi Extender
I got another wifi extender, and this one was "free". Unlike the Belkin one, this one has a new wifi name, so you have to disconnect from one to connect to another. This Netgear has an arial, so psycologically, it is better.

Radish Seeds Preparation
I let the bolted radishes to go into seeds, and it is now time to pod them and prep them for next season's planting. It literally took me 2 hours podding them... I hope the radishes are actually nice...

Computer Says
I went to a garage to get someone to plug into the car to see what was wrong with Fradley. She needs a sensor perhaps. Let see how I get on with the warranty claim.

Onions from Setts
The setts had not been the most successful. Some "onions" were not much bigger than the original setts. And the setts, even discounted, not really created their value in onions...

Carrots
Carrots are also ready. They are never as big and long as the ones from the supermarket... So they disappeared into the food really quick!

Shadwell Chippy
We went to Shadwell for some Fish and Chips. I am a little confused, I think they are now part of Marlows. It was as nice as we remember it.

GBMCC @ Earby - Day 4
How time flies. There were a lot of food left, so I encouraged a lot of people to take food home. And because of that, I had to go straight home before going into the office.
I had a few things to do in the office, including a Teams meeting. It was a long day!

GBMCC @ Earby - Day 3
On the second day, people were slowing down on their breakfast already. I took the direct route to Devil's bridge and waited for everyone to arrive. We then rearrange, and went onto Kewsick to meet up with the rest.
I, rather, Cardo Ride, led us back from Keswick. Of course there were some holiday traffic, but we were on single track roads all the way from Windermere to Sedbergh. It was tolerable that it has been dry.
From there, I thought about going on yet more scenic route, but I thought we could just do the direct scenic route instead.
We had Tawa for Four at the curry house, it was a meter wide Tawa with all the food on it, on a catering flame candle. It was interesting.

GBMCC @ Earby - Day 2
Everyone was up early making bacon sandwiches. The rolls all went on one day.
I fired up my Cardo Ride to take us to Glasson Docks, but the road between Dunsop Bridge to Lancaster was shut, so we skipped Glasson Docks, we swam through the road works and went to Arnside. On the way back, we stopped at the cheese shop, got myself a lung full of mould spores.

GBMCC @ Earby - Day 1
This is the second time I organised the Earby Weekend. I went to Earby via scenic route, which is also congested on the Friday... I got there early to take in the Sainsbury order. I fired up all the ovens, got everyone settled and we all ate around the table, mostly supermarket pizza. The salad was less popular than expected.

First Tomatoes
The first tomatoes were ready. They had been ready for a few days, maturing on the vine. They were from the slimmest plant, so they were quite small, but nonetheless delicious.

Pack Lunch
I am not good at making pack lunches. Crisps and coffee, that'll do...

Sunday Too Good To Go
I was in town having dim sum with some friends. I was parking at my office, and there was a TGTG from a cafe near the office, so I thought I would give it a try. It was two loaves of bread, a pastry and a crumble slice, they all turned out very nicely. I will go back to that cafe again.

Happy Valley Pride on Bike
We went to Happy Valley Pride on the bike, it was a little chilly up the top. This is the first year they have a parade, and luckily we missed the traffic chaos. It was an interesting parade. The quilt is nice too.

Puncture Near Miss
When I left the bike shop, I heard a funny noise. I stopped and look and could not see anything. Then I rode another mile or so, I saw a screw... So I went back to the bike shop, and luckily, it had not punctured through...

Professionally Phone Service
When my sister went to a phone shop in Hong Kong, and asked for a new phone case, to cover the scratch. It turned out well.
I got replacement phone and need a screen cover. I could not be bother to save a few quid, so I went to a shop, and they applied it for me. Perfectly aligned and no debris, that's worth the money.

Shit Online Shop
My friend asked me to place an order for her, she hadn't properly vetted the company, and I just followed the instruction . Days go by, no communications. I followed up and no reply. So I asked for a refund, which was promptly processed by the payment company.
I later looked up this online shop, absolutely shit. Always check trustpilot...
