Getting better

Another sale! A pair of pedals this time. That paid for an upgrade to the rear derailleur on my bike..we already have a quality but used hanger in stock, and it needed new jockey wheels...£30 and I will have gears on my bike that change smoothly.
Definitely an incentive to carry on selling!!

It has been a funny old day today..Pirate had a hospital appointment...they found nothing to see in his waterworks, so a kidney MRI is next. While he was busy with that I managed to do some shopping..not everything we need, but most.
We headed home and decided to take the scenic route...luckily...as we came across some fly tipping on a back lane.  One door in, home carefully , empty the car and return for the other two.
One needed attention, which it got with the help of a neighbour holding it while Pirate hit it with a hammer!!
 One mended and the others stored
It was a good thing that we found them today, as we are having a typical British Summer...two hot days...over 30 C in Prestwick today...and thunderstorms forecast tomorrow!!

The garden is coming along well with the sunshine and heat..and a thunderstorm will do it good, so long as we don't have the return of high winds!

It all looks good. My flowers thrive, too.

Thankyou Susan. One less heap of fly tipping..just a pity we couldn't clear away the broken double glazed unit that was smashed intentionally, along with the doors, but with no container or gloves we couldn't

Those are nice doors! What a find!

I see your spinach is doing well, in fact everything looks great.

There should be a name for fly tipping reversers... the Wombles maybe? Alright not original but boy don’t you feel self-blooming-righteous? I know I did when I nearly gave myself a flying hernia dragging the cast iron grille back. home.
