daughter insisted on washing her car (at my house with my gear) in this heat despite advice to the contrary - result has been need to polish the whole bloody thing for which I was called in to action. Dripping now but recovering with an Old Speckled Hen (not the Mrs).

Drove it through a completely unexpected thunderstorm. Rain was Ok when in motion at a sensible speed, then got caught behind a dawdler in a Focus, then stuck at some temporary traffic lights, then the road flooded. Pulled into a garage forecourt to put my mac on. Half a mile up the road the roads were dry, it was back to 30 deg. C and I was wearing a soaking wet shirt underneath a mac with a stuck zip, done up tight to my neck. Felt like I'd been boiled-in-the-bag by the time I'd got home.

Yes, in common with some of the barstewards who passed me in tin-tops, no doubt. Fortunately, I couldn't see them. I couldn't even see where I was going, in fact, due to the rain drops pelting my eyelids.

Got a couple of nice full face helmets here if you want to but one.

Sorry Kevin Wood, I really do try not to laugh at other people's misfortune. I really do, honest.

But

finally got bits to fit spare wheel on the boot
before

after


and the hole cover for spare was all faded and dull-you could not see rover badge--so I pulled it apart and painted it myself

Must have cooled you off from thinking of hot totty

[Kevin Wood]

Just decided to go for a bike ride and felt a few spots a mile or so up the road.  Oh, no. Not falling for that one again.

Don't worry Kev, I think my bedroom floor got just as wet as you did as some numpty* left the window open in said storm to try and cool the house down.. it looked like an elephant had taken a whizz up there.

*me.

Meanwhile, here, having aborted my pathetic attempt at exercise, the clouds have been staring me out, with the odd drop of rain, but nothing that would have bothered me too much.

Sounds like a good excuse to crack open a pint and retire to the patio

Glass of home brew going down nicely as we speak.
