The anticipation of a weekend break in Donegal is delicious.This is the first chance we have had this summer to stay for any length of time in my mother-in-law’s house near Falcarragh.
I went to retrieve the not stolen bike this morning. Needless to say, things did not go smoothly. It started well enough as I stepped out from Great Victoria Station dressed in shorts, short rain coat in vivid green and sandals. I scouted the area around the Harp bar and didn’t have to look too far to find the ladybike.
Releasing the bike from its Kryptonite lock I sensed that something was hampering the rear wheel. Sure enough, the brake blocks had misaligned and had a tight grip on the rim. Ten minutes of wrestling with spanner and allen keys to free the offending brake block, then i had to give up.
Taxi to Austin’s Bicycle Workshop and then on to work…not a great start to A level results day.
