WasherLeaks

To repair or not to repair, that is the question, we have washerleaks. I suppose we’re just going have to get a new one. So I order one. Same again obviously, cheap and cheerful.

After travelling in on the bus today, I get to ride my bike back home as it is finally released from the hospital. It has new gears, a new chain and new cabling throughout. None of which came cheap. You would have thought they’d have replaced my bar tape, which has got holes in and would have been a nice touch, but they haven’t.

Then it’s dog training and then of course a pint in the Masons, which is still Wainwrights. It’s haunting me.

A ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ Moment

With us being in Ipswich, this enables us to receive a visit from Doggo’s twin brother’s owner, who visits the dog show to see us.

MD promptly fluffs the one run he gets to do in front of her. Although it actually wasn’t that bad. It started really well and it was actually me that fluffed it. Sorry.

He did get a rosette for 12th for an earlier run. As he was only 1.8 seconds off the winner, it was a surprising 12th. Last week we were 1.5 seconds off the winner and came 2nd.

Doggo is clear in his Vets but outside the rosettes.

Later we head off to pick up our race numbers from Half Marathon HQ and then search out even bigger desserts and pasta for tea. We head down to the harbour front and find a pleasant traditional pub, the Lord Nelson. Stumbling upon Adnams’ Ghost Ship is an unexpected distraction and produces a ‘to be or not to be’ AF moment.

'Not to be' is the answer. Hopefully everything will be counteracted by the Lemon Sponge dessert.
