Home Alone

David is off to Germany, to do a Motorrad course at the Nürburgring (Nordschleife), and a half-day's riding first, so I'm home alone! He was deciding yesterday what colour gaffer tape (Duck® tape) would best go with the bike for reattaching a loose bit of fairing... For those of you interested in the selection process, apparently black is more stylish!

The photo is here as a reminder of what NOT to do. At the start of the season last year, he came off at Brands Hatch on his first track day, but this year he's been for a few rides to get in practice so that he enjoys the German trip.

When he gets back, we are hiring a van to go to France & take a load of furniture (we keep reading about how cheap/easy it is to buy secondhand furniture at vide-greniers or dépôts-ventes, but so far all we've seen are really expensive [and nasty!] items - I'm keeping an eye on The Evergreen Trust furniture warehouse now!).

I'm hoping the bird survived... Watch this space & keep your fingers crossed that I'm not reporting on a load of tiny corpses! Oh, sorry, didn't do that post yet (we think it's a Redstart that has nested under the beam in the entrance hall)...
