Transports of delight

Paint chips will repair with Tippex and lipstick - how useful!

Sumer is icumen in! I'm counting how many different ways there are of getting about. Here are two or three, and I hope to add more as the summer goes by. I know, I know - this is supposed to be a blog full of serious stuff. Sorreee!

Beam me up!

What's that awful grey church chair doing here?

I will tell you how to make the hat at some point..... crochetavistas unite!

The chicken gene

'But I let myself fall backwards'.

Brill start to the weekend! Despite dreaming that I had slept in and missed my slot, I didn't, and I made it to the Humber Bridge for 9 am, and I am not a morning person! Hurdle no. 1 over. But the story started the day before in one of Barton's best shops - 'This 'n' That' (note correct use of apostrophes here in N Lincs). Well, where would you go to buy hairnet? That place has everything, in the space of your living room. They didn't bat an eyelid when I tried the thing on over my bike helmet.

The Hospice Shop came up trumps too with a frock, and soon I had my fancy dress outfit sorted: 'she dressed up as a vicar's wife'.

Yes I did cycle here!

I feared that aspects of what I was spending my time doing today were not very 'housewifely', so I stood both loo cleaning brushes in a vat of diluted Domestos to offset any feelings of guilt I might have.

(I'm trying to upload quite a few pics to this Blogger outfit, but it's acting as though it too has had a few bottles of San Miguel, so apologies if the order is a bit funny. [It is].)

What do you mean, 'What is the chicken gene?' It's that gene that some of us have that, when someone says, 'We need someone to dress up as a chicken', we are the ones who say 'Oooh yes, I will!' first. [Ignore white space below and scroll down; I don't know why it does that either.]

Would I do it again, and would I do it differently? Certainly! I'd make sure my lipstick was on straight next time!

You tube of beginning and end

More pics below, much too below but I can't make it otherwise.

Have you ever abseiled before? 'No'.

Yes, the flowers are intact. Camouflage at Chelsea flower show!

I felt no fear - I'm afraid of danger, not of heights

'Now what?'

'Am I supposed to go horizontal?' No.

'By the way, how do I avoid smashing my teeth against the road?'

Teeth intact, I'm off!

Won't be doing this again for a while, let's have fun!

'Hi! The gloves they gave me are massive!'

'Suppose I have to sit down sometime. Oh dear! Almost at ground  level.'

It doesn't look very high to me
