Lovely. A nice evening's reading there. Which ones? I always enjoy re-reading Two Degrees West - he's practically a BBBer but without a bike for that one. Some marvellous anecdotes. I really must try kipping under a road overbridge one day - not. Not so keen on Clear Waters Rising. Obviously, though, our bible is JTTCOTE .

Cracking Reg, that and Atlas Biker.

Good call. Been meaning to buy some more of his books since I went to see him speak about his latest one in the autumn. Just hit eBay for a couple, on the way. Personally, Clear Waters Rising is one of my favourite books.

Read journey to centre of the earth, impressive stuff, so opted for
-The Atlas Mountains
-Kilimanjaro journey

Bought on a whim, so no idea what to expect

Two degrees west by Nick Crane is worth tracking down too.

After 34 years of mortgage after mortgage, payments after payments Saturday next weekend will see us mortgage free.

So the (Amazon) postman brought me this book, this week

A pair of Schwalbe G-Ones, just need a bike to fit them on now

Oh and a new chain cleaner after I dropped my last one and it disintegrated on the slate floor

[Lazarus]

ah slate floors i remember them in the farmhouse, warm , grippy with wet feet and practical are among the features it does not have. Looks nice mind.

A rear light for project 'Death trap'. I'll french it in to the framework so it'll be largely unseen until it's on.

Some carbon pole [ rear only] - not the new lifters ones, for my Stealth

A shiney new Canyon

[darbeze]

Some stickers that make me smile

A big old box

I can't wait to get this built up, hopefully over the weekend. Just waiting for some downtube cable stops.

While out running some errands yesterday, I just happened to take a detour and found myself at Lidl. I left with a new Plasma cutter.

You impulse-buyer (*) you!

Two ancient OS maps to add to my collection, plus a rare 1983 vinyl LP 'Midnight Stars' by the Swedish instrumental group The Violents.

(*) or was it? "Just happened to be in Lidl" indeed - hah! Still, I did it with some reduced paprika Pringles (other excessively-fatty potato-based snacks are available) the other day. Hate the excess packaging, price and overprocessed extruded contents but I couldn't help it.

[Bearbonesnorm]

It was a crafty ploy Reg and I'd raided the dogs piggy bank the previous evening so knew exactly what I was doing.

[Fat tyre kicker]

Low on funds at the mo but I'd have had a mig the other week and a plasma
This week, hopefully a review of it coming soon Stu ?

[Bearbonesnorm]

a review of it coming soon Stu ?

I'll get some new airline fittings tomorrow and let you know if it's any good - any good?

[TheBrownDog]

A new Acepac bar roll bag and a couple of Voile straps from Stu. Perfect timing too. I was just deliberating on heading out for a ride into Dennis' baby teeth when the doorbell rang and I had an excuse to have more tea and play with the bag. Thanks fella.

Dear Manager Of BBB Corner Shop,

Just get some weights put on to the various goods on display!

'Reg' from down the road at number 21.

[ScotRoutes]

Because they're so light that they might float away?

Looks good. Can I ask for a picture from riders perspective and also the side please?

Sorry Reg, I did mean to do that after you asked last time.
