It’s been a while but the familiar ache/burn got too much and I gave in again. For context I was bidding on a certain vehicle on eBay in early August, missed out on winning it by a fiver or something and called it a draw. As we all know this feeling of nonchalance manifests itself in a desire to do better next time. I put it down to be being the wrong time for such things, seeing as though child number 3 was due to be born in about 60 days’ time. With that in mind, and the feeling of freedom of the first day free from work and/or childcare since March I put my pushbike on the train, rode it a few stops and got out at Leeds urban bike park, where I was having a lovely time until I decided to have one more go at a set of jumps. The ground came out of nowhere and twatted me goodstyle in various places, mainly my left (dominant) arm which broke either side of the elbow. None of this matters a great deal but today finds me able to drive again and having won a subsequent eBay auction for a similar vehicle. The first part of the journey is on foot, in to the depths of Ravensthorpe no less

The kids lasted until 2:43 a.m. so legitimate Secret Santa opened through bleary eyes… A bit of bit of bling Some fine* china and a very useful (genuinely) mini screwdriver set as Mrs ODM has been threatening to pilfer my gear for a “House set of tools” and the piece de la resistance…a highly treasured Norwood anniversary bowling club key ring.

An old friend of mine died recently, his wishes involved me getting to clear up all the stuff he didn't throw away and also finding homes for the more valuable collections... I'm not explaining very well, but pictures should help. This is his garage, Den was a self employed car repairer and trader for almost 50 years, this was his workshop. All needs sorting and rehoming. Very rare but very shite singer gazelle, was in regular use until very recently but hasn't been further than the shops for over a decade. I put a gearbox into it last year because the overdrive failed. I'll be putting a for sale thread up about it, it's not really ebay material but would suit somebody sympathetic who wants to adopt an old dog. There's a lot more but it can wait for now.

I'm just about to go to a place to purchase another financial mistake shitbox, I won't be revealing where I'm going or what I'm buying until it happens. In the meantime, let's have a fun* guessing game as to what I'm buying and from where!!! Pictured: breakfast
