I'm out. The b****y council just graded the road again, and left it very loose and slippery, so the bike is confined to the shed probably until Christmas.

Thread hijack ....

Ha Ha ..... I work for a Council, the grading (or lack) of roads is one one of the most contentious issues for some rural residents.  We once received a petition from some residents to grade their road.  As less than 50% of the residents (of the road) signed the petition, the Mayor and a Councillors reckoned it would be good idea consult with all residents.  A letter went out, when the some of the other residents "got wind" of the petition, we got a counter-petition to NOT grade the road.     

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. 

I liked my job, would have liked it better if we didn't have residents.

End hijack, resume normal viewing.

Re-hijacked

The real pain is it is only the last eight ks- they have just finished sealing the other 24, and I can't get to it.

End re-hijack.

Wot Richo said!! Your skills with the drone are getting better and better Bodo. And isn't that just a great sculpture of Kenny Blake, there's something new that you find in it every time you visit. Can't wait for Jan 15 2022
