So... What oiled your gears today?

Took the little bastard to halfraulds today and found the perfect crimbo present bike.

Rather peckish so had a traditional Lancashire lunch;

Wigan kebab w' pea-wet

For the southerners, that is a pie in an oven-bottom muffin (i.e. like a bap), buttered on the bottom, then the pie, then a smothering of mushy peas before the lid is put on it. Tasty and filling. Pie was a local choice too; butter pie (technically potato and butter). Also known as "Catholic pie" as it originated as a pie edible on Fridays when meat was apparently forbidden, so butter was introduced to add flavour in lieu.

Very tasty indeed. Washed down w' a few brews. Top notch.

I always wondered what a Butter Pie was, as mentioned in the song by Paul McCartney 'n' ting.

I did wonder who might "get hold of" the "pea-wet" first. You'll need to speak to a Wiganer to understand their rationale. Maybe I've got it all wrong and it's not for eating and has a different purpose?

Insurance this year is less than half of the previous year (!). Quite astonished. Given I have breakdown included, take that off and the drop is even more dramatic. Happy days.

Absolutely nothing to do with bikes or being on the road.

Today I did dismantle x3 old broken Mitchell 400 reels and make one really good one in perfect working order .
No pennies were spent.
I now have a good quality reel and plenty of spares to go with it for free. Yay!

My Christmas Cactus is flowering, I picked it up a sick little thing last year from COOP for a couple of quid, I think it likes my rehab.

That's rather magnificent.

It actually almost looks like a manufactured decoration, not a blemish anywhere.

How's fibre glass with age vs carbon fibre? (given the latter has been out a fair while at this point)
