Back on track

 Up bright and early, I got a wash through and on the line..not too much sun but a nice stuff breeze which dried clothes quickly.

Two fleabay sales...a pair of pedals for a change and yet another chainring!

The District Nurse came on her Wednesday visit, and answered some of Pirate's worries. Working on pain management now, which should mean that he will be in a better mood and more relaxed...and hopefully sleeping better. She will be back in just a week this time to see how he manages.

Off then via the post office, to the Velodrome at Glasgow. We met a friend there first for lunch, and he will be helping us with work on some wheels and next week helping me sort out some of the bits we have to sell. 

I haven't much experience with modern tribars and triathlon kit...so he will be able to show me what goes with what so that I can sell them.

He is almost exactly 20 years younger than Pirate and they are great mates..

Just lately he has been riding some of the off-road routes..the Rob Roy Way for one, and another up to Buckie. He did the West Highland way two years ago with a couple of friends.   Lucky man!

Pirate did 9 more laps than last week and really enjoyed himself..and has booked the same time next week!!

Then home again, and after supper I bottled 7 bottles of apple juice..and Pirate drank the glassful left over! It has just finished being processed now.

It is a nice mix of sweet and sharp, not so dry as some of last year's but still very pleasant.   I am looking forward to filling up the bottle racks!!
