The mechanic.

J bought two new tyres for his Royal Enfield motorbike, so today was the day he decided to fit them.  The plan was to fit one before lunch, and the other one after. The only problem was, a friend, who lives down the road, and has just come back from a month touring in his mobile home, wanted to tell J all about his escapades. J had to be polite, but was secretly annoyed at the time wasted. Anyway, as soon as he left, J stopped for lunch, and has now gone out to fir the back tyre.
It was a month ago today that I had my hand operation, and I was very pleased with myself that I actually managed to peg out the washing. That might not seem much, but to me a major accomplishment. Onwards & upwards, as they say.
