Naughty Bumble goes to Brum

Saturday morning, was twenty seconds from finishing my 12k run when I got the call to go collect Bumble. Paul had done the minimum that we agreed, but Bumble was still dirty (no promised valet) and still no fuel flap. Still, was nice when his wheels and interior were admired by a lady trying to decide what to get done in her yellow T4 with pop top.

Phoned Ma to check if Carl is actually doing this Norwich ride, decided to do it anyway.  So went to Decathlon to buy their cheapest turbo trainer, as I suck at going outside to train for ages, but I'm brilliant at watching films. I was very well behaved in there and only got what I went for. Had the surfboard they had in there been my size, or the bikes not crazy money, then it might have been a different story! Popped in Ikea for mum and also got the curtain thing for the van that I'd had in my head.

On the way back Bumble beeped very loudly me and then the coolant light started flashing. Phone calls to Dad. He will be wishing I'd bought an old Bay soon! Bumble is now leaking coolant quite badly. 
Failed to do the intended quick turn around and eventually got off to Brum. Timed it well actually for a yummy Tiramisu in Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant.

Am writing this from a bar (and editing Sunday afternoon at home). Off clubbing later to celebrate Em's birthday. I'd rather go read a bike magazine in the van! Turns out Em is getting old too. Music was crap. I didn't get any of the George I was promised. Only song we recognised was an old Hazel Dean rehash. Still, we managed to stay in the 'Aspie Hell' club until 2am, having had only a pint of shandy all night. Lightweights R us.

Wandered around the Bull Ring area for a bit today. Went in the Animal and the Apple stores. Not enough pennies for purchases. Found the GC at St Martins church, and popped inside. Got fed flapjack.

Back via Tamworth services for yet more water to replace leaked coolant. Did Bex's ironing, intending to go get bike but she appears to be out. Will substitute tomorrows run instead. Prob go see Kings Speech at Flix later.
