Time to wake up.

RF, Murphy and Willis stayed over last night and I had to persuade the boys they needed to go out this morning despite the falling rain.

After breakfast J collected the dogs to take them for a walk and RF went home to plant some more plants.

My bike has been languishing in the outbuilding, under a cover, for at least three years. On 5th December it is going to the "drunken Ferret" to be brought back to life.

The extra is the battery compartment but it has obviously housed a hungry lodger at some stage. After reconnecting it I turned the key and.............  nothing happened. I am hoping a simple connection has failed but fearing some wires have been chewed.
