"Been there, done that, got the T-shirt"

OK, so it's a different bone, but he's going to be wearing the T-shirt again!

He's been told not to do that, but will he listen?!

Sadly, I had a call from David to say he'd crashed (this time at Rockingham), and was on his way to Kettering Hospital with a suspected broken collar bone.

He says the track day organisers may be able to take his bike back to St Albans, and he will arrange to collect it from there, but is anticipating a horrible train journey home. Well, it is Sunday on a Bank Holiday weekend, so it's bound to be deeply unpleasant - if trains are running, they're almost certain to be on an engineering schedule.

To add insult to injury, I have a nasty feeling the pump has gone on the boiler...

It fires up the gas burners, but no hot water is getting through to the taps/radiators. I'm leaving it for 20 minutes or so (I know stuff can have a bit of a nervous breakdown sometimes, and will kick in again after a little rest), so fingers crossed...

I just noticed that the box for 'Labels for this post:' suggests: scooter, vacation, fall as examples.

It could so easily have been: motorcycles, Bank Holiday, fall-off!!
