This weekend, in between bouts of:
(a) scaring myself shitless with a huge angle grinder,
(b) clearing up the crap that got everywhere when I used the angle grinder,
(c) hitting some concrete with a small hammer (via a chisel) in the hope that it would break up with less risk to life and limb than using the angle grinder,
(d) hitting my left thumb rather than the chisel,
(e) buying two chickens (oven ready rather than pet);
(f) then being told that of course we can't have our friends round on Sunday because we're going to listen to a concert that son #2 is singing in,
I got two bikes out of the shed. One was my Dave Lloyd, the other was son #2's beautiful little Orbit road bike with 650c wheels. I pumped up the tyres and we were about to set off for a ride together when there was a sudden change of heart. Son #2 really didn't want to go for a ride. So I rode his bike half way up the garden, and wheeled it the rest of the way to the shed.
That was my weekend ride.
