Busy indoors away from the storm

 This morning's sky at the front..no view of the Clyde today!!

A little later at the back , before...

It closed in again.

The traffic advice on the radio this morning was... Don't!!

No rail until at least the afternoon with so many trees and lines down.

Gusts of 89mph in Lanarkshire on the M8 motorway and 124mph in the Cairngorms.

While Pirate spent the morning in bed until a late breakfast...and again after a shower until a very late lunch..

I attacked the living room to make it more livable. Apart from being clean, all the fleabay packing materials have been sent back to the study/spare bedroom. 

Two large heavy carrier bags of books have to be sorted into sell/give away.

Two boxes of bike bits probably need labelling and pricing for a Cycle Jumble..some things sell better in person.

A garden  potting up tray has bike cleaning materials...and a shallow cardboard fruit box holds genealogy material.

So what happens in the nice tidier living room? Pirate put an old towel down and changed the bottom bracket on my old track bike that my clubmate is now using!!!

The new one is titanium...and runs like silk!! It was also £220 trade price!!..but is an important step on the way to the World Masters Track Champs in Roubaix in October.

It is lovely seeing her success, especially against others much younger than her... yesterday a third place against two riders half her age at most!!

Now the job is done..with much huffing and puffing...he needs more exercise in the getting down and up department! Time for tea with all the tools cleared away.

The storm is blowing over...ready for the next one..Storm Jocelyn is on the way...but should be about 20mph slower....not a lot of consolation!!
