Blobules

The wood preserver stuff when first applied smells strongly of a, not entirely unpleasant, cross between Worcestershire sauce and diesel.  It sure seems to be doing its thing in the rain.

I think it might in fact have stopped raining by now but I had better things to do, like getting equally wet but in a hot shower instead.  I thought it might help my cold which is rapidly turning into a cough, and which will generally at least then get better.  On balance I'm quite glad I didn't commit my team's modest budget to the One Hundred Pounds that Cycling Scotland wanted for a ticket to the annual conference, which was today.  I was kind of sorry to miss it because I often attend for work-related purposes.
