So, when we moved into our house the front room looked kinda like this: It should be pointed out that the red stripe was NOT our idea. The general mess and clutter was. Now, Sally has put a LOT of work into the painting. Her approach is very much little bits here and there whenever […]
So…now it’s dry I’ve been able to have a few days commuting on the Felt (which Sally has suggested be called “Fuzzy”…Fuzzy Felt…geddit?). What’s it like? Well. IT’S AWESOME. It’s so comfortable that it seems to be helping my bad back get better. It’s so light. It’s so quick. Actually, it doesn’t seem to have […]
On the New Bike – Off the New Bike – Lessons in Wallpapering Today was supposed to be really exciting – it turned out to be quite depressing. Mostly. It did in fact end on a high – but we’ll have to talk about a few lows before then. I’ve been very excited about the […]

In amongst all the mess of bad backs, leaks, rats, and so on, something very exciting has happened. My cyclescheme voucher has arrived!! I pick up the Felt Z90 on Saturday. Yipeee!!!!!
We recently discovered (amongst lots of other things going wrong all around us) a small leak a the point that our washing maching inlet hose connects to the water pipe. This was a problem when we first moved in and we initially fixed it by buying a new hose and doing it up really tight. […]
Last week was fun AND challenging, songwise. I picked a tricky one to start but it’s mostly nailed. The trick will be remembering it in a week or so’s time. This week’s been a bit of a nightmare with busy evenings, rats, water leaks, a trip to Leeds for work, the wedding at the weekend, […]
