I went for a ride this morning. Couldn't make it past the neighbours driveway so turned around and came home. I kinda "knew" the tyres would be flat even though I had pushed on them before I started so I tried pumping them up with the compressor. Nope, couldn't get the nozzle thing on so I went hunting for a hand pump. Same issue, couldn't get the nozzle thing on. Oh well, I had other stuff to do anyway. But husband comes out and after I explained to him he took a look and straight away saw that the tube nozzle was in the wrong position so he tried turning it. He did the same thing with the tyre on a wheelbarrow last week and that worked a treat but why tyres and tubes should move when on a wheel I have no idea. Anyway he took another look and noticed that there was a slight leak anyway so he put in a new tube for me, sprayed things a bit, checked the chain and gears...and the deadly treadly is ready to go again. So I struggled on and rode up the road and around the corner to the limestone then back home. Now I just need to do it again tomorrow! Edit - And I did!
I did notice that we are getting our own little Gnomesville along that road. Many years ago there was a small stump cut to look like a chair with 2 gnomes near it. Today the were 2 more gnomes, 1 was sitting on a fish. Not a real fish, a concrete fish...Do we have a competition happening? Probably not but the thought made me smile.
