Two arthritics and a bike

My friend came round today and since he is my bike guru, I asked him to help me change an inner tube on a second folding bike that I got cheaply on Ebay some time ago. It has this weird back brake affair with all sorts of extra bits screwed on and I didn't know where to begin. Both of us have arthritic hands with little grip. This usually simple job took us in the region of 2 hours graft! We got the bike chain fankled so many times and I was crowned the queen of kink - as I seemed to be the best at unfankling it! Now I have two working folding bikes and so can take the cheap one out when I think I might get my tyres slashed. Hooray!

This took all my day today so I never got the chance to go out and try out Sunny 11 settings but I'll looking forward to testing this - thanks StevieFish!

Now another friend will join us and I am making a pizza. I shan't be commenting this evening but will catch up tomorrow. The weekend is getting so close! Have a good Thursday.
