Backdraft Shutter

I noted my bathroom is extra cold on a windy day, so I got a backdraft shutter and installed it.  I keep trying to hear out for the shutter, but because it is in the loft, so I cannot quote hear it.  But with storm Gareth, I can definitely hear the shutter shutting and the room kept warm, good investment!

Poor Housekeeping Pillows

I got some pillows from Sainsbury's, endorsed by Good Housekeeping.  Two months in, I am not impressed...

What's the Point of Veal

I must have veal before, but I got a pack of marked down veal to remind myself.  It smells nice, but not the most flavoursome meat.  I don't see how it should cost more, especially veal is meant to be byproduct of the diary industry.

Learning to Ride

Flint is a very different beast, I need to learn to work with her.  The good habit of covering the rear brake is turning out to be essential, I need to remind myself to keep this habit!

Flint is Home

I pick Flint up this morning.  Before the long ride, on a sunny day, I was all smiley.

It was very windy, and she is very heavy.  Those hard panniers are like 20kg each!  I was cold and shattered!  The heated grip did nothing!

I got her treated with ACF on my way home, and I finally parked her up! 

So far I spotted 2 design problems.  The dials are impossible to read when direct light is shone and the locks to the panniers are directly under the grab bars, making turning doing and undoing the panniers hard.

Now half of Flint (ie the boxes) is in my living room!  As an added bonus, the old cover fits!

Victoria Biker Pub

It is inferior in every way to Squires...

Baby Trees Seasons

Also because of the warm February, all the seeds are sprouting.  I am still tempted to grow a few samplings.  I must direct my effort to something more useful.
