Washing first, on before breakfast..and by 3pm it was half dry.
So it is luxury evening with the central heating on low and the dehumidifier by the clothes rack and kitchen radiator! The house needs a bit of warmth and airing once in a while anyway. I am mainly keeping the living room warm enough. No point keeping all the house hot!!
A warm living room was needed today as I have been sitting cleaning bike bits..rather cruddy bike bits!! One derailleur ready to sell (and photographed) and the other clean except for one jockey wheel which I need to undo, but the nut is resisting...I have left it to soak with WD....and cleaned and old Campagnolo chainring. It won't bring much in, but it is still usable...and a clean piece sells better.
I've had enough now...more tomorrow...now for French lessons...and then a book!
I found a Joanne Harris ( of "Chocolat" fame) book in a charity shop yesterday...and it is following the same main character again....The Lollipop Shoes"...

...well, I vacuumed today!
If you’ve read Chocolat you should enjoy The Lollipop Shoes……it’s is a sequel to Chocolat. Harris has now written a prequel to Chocolat which is due to be published early next year. Something to look forward to - discovering how Vianne came to be where she was and why she was making chocolates
I adore the movie "Chocolat" but I've never read the novel. I didn't know there was a sequel novel -- cool! The only books by Joanne Harris that I've read (and loved!) are "The Gospel of Loki" and "The Testament of Loki."
Is it satisfying cleaning those bike bits? I would think it would be – – it’s sure is cool to see them cleaned! I watch some Instagram channels that show extreme cleaning – – not of people’s homes inside,
but of things like overgrown yards—
they really are satisfying to watch!
Definitely looking forward to that
It is satisfying and necessary..not just because they sell better. A couple of times I have found a hairline crack..so saved myself the bother of having it returned at best.
Those yard cleanings are fun to watch..but sad when you see a property unloved or someone unable to do the work and often enough unable to afford to pay someone
Rick just told me what a derailer was a week or two ago. He was sure I knew because he often mentioned it. I had no idea!
You won't be the first! Have a look at the history of "Disraeli Gears" !
It is amazing how welcome a bit of warmth is if you have been cold!
