I got my bicycle back yesterday. I'd asked Mr Porteous to fix the gears, fit new brakes and generally set me up for safe winter cycling adventures, and to attach my water bottle cage. Because I have short wee legs, there was no space on the vertical column leading up to the saddle, only on the diagonal crossbar. I took one look and asked
"Don't you think it looks a bit odd?"
"Yes" he said.
"It looks a bit phallic" I said.
"It certainly does look like a giant cock" he said.
"People might begin to think I'm desperate" I said.

He took it off. I'll continue to stop and admire the view when I'm thirsty.

And I plucked up ALL the courage and rang the GP's surgery today. There is a 4 week wait for MRI results. Unless there is anything urgent. Which is good news I guess. At least I can stop accosting the poor postmen on their rounds.
