After yesterday's setbacks, Nom and the Corporal walked in to work (no running yet - it's all uphill!) with the Corporal resolving to make Halfords pay: nobody, but nobody should give the Corporal squiffy handlebars. Oh yes, after 5pm tonight they will regret this grave error.
Meanwhile, Veg was jumping up and down happily because today was delivery day of her pretty new bike WITH DISC BRAKES!!! De-spidering the Veg-mobile Mk1 for the last time, she struggled up the road, realising as she passed the Corporal's house that the road levelled out between Odd Barracks and work. Report to follow on the Corporal cycling home from Veg/Nom Towers. Uphill is not the word. Well, it is, but very uphill, although two words, is a better description.
Vegmobile Mk1 was left in the work car park for Fromage to cram into his car (no more excuses - Vegmobile Mk1 is now the Cheesemobile) and Vegmobile MkII has disc brakes! It was a very happy Veg who struggled very very uphill on the first leg of the journey home. How can it be uphill both ways?
Veg has to do her first yoga class tonight, whilst we send the Corporal our prayers for a friendly Halfords. More to follow, but did I mention that Veg has disc brakes?!!!
