of the year ... bike has been in bed due to work and other commitments over the winter ... so we just had a gentle tootle[1] to town to look at stuff for the garden that the SO requires me to build, lay, and generally manual labour over ... bloody cold, and I could have done without the fekkin hailstones on the last 2 miles of the journey ... still, I'll do it again next weekend. [1] I mentioned that I should take the bike out since it was a good day meaning that she goes by the car and I drive like a mentalist across the back roads and meet her in the Homebase car park ... sadly she took this as an invite to be a pillion :(
