Took my SoperComuterScooter for a MOT which it passed. Then got a call to pick my wife up from the hospital. She's still in. Pain but at least it's nothing more sinister. All in all, it's turned out to be a good day!

Finally got through to customer services to report the buggered fridge freezer. They’ll call back within 24 hours to tell me what’s going to happen. That’s in spite of me telling them my wife’s medicine needs to be kept refrigerated. Not impressed.

My wife then roped me in to tidying out the kitchen cupboards. 2 full bin bags of out of date packets/jars later you can actually see what’s in the cupboards. She’s a bit of a hoarder.

At last they seem to be treating it conservatively. It'll fly by and by the time you're riding again it'll be nice and muddy to cushion the landing........😂😂

I'm not helping much am I? (in best "it's in the sand voice")😁

Took the abs pump off the cr-v as it has a sensor fault internally. The new one isnt the same. Poo. Put the old one back on, packed the new one for return, bled the brakes...took the wrong 'un into aber to post (ebay send you a label...but you dont know how much till your partial refund arrives...next one goes by herpes). Did a bit of shopping and picked up P's scrip for dermatitis which she has let get out of control. Ordered another pump...twice the cost of the first. So now i have to do it all again on monday (?) when and if it arrives, swap an anti roll bar link and submit it for test on wednesday. Maybe able to pick the x type if the bits for that arrive...

My car sounds like a bag of nails on the best of days, usually gets a bit worse when the oil starts to get low, so topped it up.

It still sounded a bit odd, from the lower drivers side (it's got a cam chain so it's always a bit rattly), I decided to investigate.

Wheel off and wheel arch liner out...

So I jumped on the Enfield and exchanged £10 for a new belt at ECP.

What should have been a 30min fix took 3 hours because I didn't have the correct tool to release the tensioner.

Anyways, it's a bit quieter now.

I was going kayaking this morning with a friend but the wind was stronger than forecast and as she's very inexperienced the H & S guy inside me suggested it wouldn't be comfortable for her so we had another brew hoping the wind would drop off. Then we had a beer or two and still the wind was gusting badly.

So we had another beer or two, well I had beer and M was on wine by then. Around 5 pm we called it a day although it wasn't because in half an hour we're out for dinner on one of the local boats. We'll be back about midnight I guess and I'll probably be full. :lol:

Have a good evening chaps. :thumbup:

Latest update in the fridge freezer saga.

Got contacted this afternoon by the company on messenger so that made it difficult to argue properly.

They’re trying to fob me off to the manufacturer who they will kindly get to send out someone to look at it.

I argued Consumer Rights trumps their stupid company policy but the person was having none of it, said he wasn’t authorised to alter that policy, had done all he could and stopped answering.

So another stinking email got fired off but it’s gonna be Monday now before I can actually talk to anyone.

He's taking her out to dinner so the answer is 'not yet'.
