Barwick in Elmet

I drive thorough Barwick all the time,  we finally got a chance to explore it.   We missed lunch services on most of the eateries,  we settled for a Green King's lunch;  it was pretty bad...

In the after lunch walk,  we did both the castle bailey and an iron age earthwork.   Barwick ticked!

Harris and James Coffee Chocolate


My last Harris and James in the stash.   It is not coffee flavoured chocolate,  it is coffee hocolate!   It has 10% coffee and 65% cacao.   I must consume with care.

Black Friday Everything

In England they really push everything on "Black Friday" sale before the actual "Black Friday".  This year they got the gym membership on sale, and I took advantage of it.  My best find this year!

Dangerous Vibram

I got a new pair of pretty walking shoes.   Sarah recognised the trade name Vibram.   As soon as I walked out the door,  I was skidding everywhere.   It might have been good 80 years ago comparing with leather sole,  it is absolutely shit compare with modern soles.   Avoid at all cost!

Useless Felt Roof

After day and days of rain, I noticed a few patches of water in the garage.  Consider it is only a three years old roof, felt roof is absolutely useless!

Worn Rear Brakes

So the garage told me my rear brake was worn, so they changed them for me.  When I picked up the bike, they kept the brake to show me, it was extremely worn, practically down to nothing, I was lucky that no damage to the disc.  Since the front end was not right, I had been using the rear brakes, that maybe the result of it.

They charge me full rate instead of the Winter discount rate, liars...  That is another story.

I remember my first set of rear brakes on Endee also worn all the way down, and damaged the discs!  I cannot believe that was 20 years ago!

Harris & James H&J Dark Chocolate Haiti Pisa 80%

I just remember to work on my H&J stash.  Being independent chocolate shop, it may have a short life regardless what the label said.  The chocolate was acceptable but not worth its price, maybe it is getting old.
