It is the second last day of September, but the weather is like it is supposed to be in July, dry, sunny and very warm!
Hard labour in the morning, cutting two metres off the neighbours Leyllandi hedge (with his agreement of course).
After lunch, I turn my efforts to fitting the rear hugger to my motorcycle.
The fitting instructions which came with it are scant to say the least, and yesterday evening I retired defeated.
But having slept on it, I have it cracked, the part which was giving me a problem was this bracket on the right hand side of the bike, it was not clear which way round it should go.
Not that any one is interested I suspect, but it goes with the studs towards the tyre.
I think I could do a better job than "Powerbronze" at writing the fitting instructions, that is if I wanted a job, which I most definately do not!
I am having a great time, I just have to be careful not to let Kathleen see how much I am enjoying myself, otherwise she will dream up some chore which needs doing!
By the time I have finished tinkering with my motorbike, Kathleen has gone out walking, so this leaves me free to go out for a spin, great fun.
I think I should have taken the winter liner out of my jacket and trousers however, because the weather is so hot, I am sweating profusely as I cruise around, it does nothing to add to my "cool" image!
Hey, what a great life!
The day starts with a beautiful morning. The weather certainly seems to be improving, not before time.
I manage to fit in a lot today, a trip out on my motorbike, to have a check on Martin's allotment. At this time of year there is not a lot to do except pick the crops. Tomatoes, beans, beetroot. The fact I am on the motorbike limits me to just a haversack full!
The rest of the day is spent walking and gardening.
Wednesday and the weather is even better, it is like a summers day. After the chore of food shopping at ASDA, we go cycling.
I spend the evning attempting to fit the recently purchased "hugger" to my motorbike. I am usually pretty good at this sort of thing, but I retire defeated. I will have to consult Google for inspiration.
