I think I may own too many books. Too many CDs. Too much stuff generally. I realise that my insistance on doing all my maintainance myself, and having a bike mid-restoration does mean that there’s a certain ‘more stuff’ theme that’s going to be present. I know that having trained as a biochemist, worked in…

It’s weird being a leftie
I’m not left handed, I *eat* UK lefthanded (which confusingly appears to be American (or at least alaskan) right handed), but apart from that I’m a rightie. Yesterday I cut my finger on a bit of motorbike. Not a big cut, a little deeper than normal, but not sufficient to really cause issues. Only today…

Me and MZ Clutches
We have a history me and MZ Clutches. On my 125 I managed to snap the clutch bolts and destroy a clutch basket. I think about the third attempt I managed to actually assemble a clutch that worked. Not well, but it worked. I’ve tried several times on the 125s since and I think maybe…

Quirky
Sometimes I think I’m a little bit quirky; I spent the morning getting the stuff to make cakes, cookies and ‘american style’ brownies; and then spend the rest of the morning making them. Carrot cake, Choclate cookies and Brownies were made. Of course, after lunch I got changed and went out and serviced my Morris…

Land of Meme
1. Grab the nearest book 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions. 5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just…

Blimey. I. Am. Tired. It’s been a hard couple of shifts at work – sick patients needing a lot of care, and me in charge of the bay for most of the shift yesterday. Hence the absence of posting. Well, absence of significant lengths of posting. I guess I ramble anyway, but hey. So, news?…
