Holiday

On holiday at present and thanks to the Lord, had a few days down in Torquay. We stayed at a complex where Fiona has been going line dancing for a number of years. It was an 'all inclusive' deal and it was a very pleasant stay. Entertainment was great and it was a change not to be with a group. Birthday tomorrow and I am joining up with Fiona and her line dancing friends tomorrow.
Spent some time cleaning the bike and it now looks a lot better. I can never understand people not keeping things clean. It does not look like it has been cleaned for years and it would only have taken a jet washing every once in a while to have kept it looking good. Getting used to it and pleased that I get nearly 60mpg out of it. Only problem is that I can not get the sump plug off so am going to pay my local dealer before I round off the nut!

 It also provides a warm spot for Felix the cat.

New Bike

Well you may not know that my HT125 was written off by a gent pulling out in to me. It would have been good for them to see http://think.direct.gov.uk/motorcycles.html. Anyway I now have Suzuki GS500 It is a bit tatty and needs a bit of TLC but at the moment seems to go ok. I have to say as my first 'big' bike in 30 years it is VERY fast. This I hope will keep me out of trouble in the rush hour.

Weather Station

The weather station has been a little intermittent for a while so yesterday took the pole down to have a look. I found the transmitter was full of flies and flies eggs. I cleaned it all out and it seem to work. However it has failed again. I hope it is the batteries, which I did not change. I hope to get the pole down latter when the rain stops.
