Two wheels on my wagon...

Davey Rogerson, undoubted star of the show.
 It's really been a week with a difference this week.  Sunday we took to the road and did the quiz on wheels, organised by Vlicho Yacht Club, with Keith and Angie, only just making it back to the YC in time for the cut off at 16:30 that was five and a half hours touring about looking for some really obscure (to us) clues.  It can't have been too bad though because we ended up fourth.  We had a great day out and such a laugh at times that the quiz was really incidental.  Lovely fajitas in the Yacht club later too, thanks guys for making it a great day.
This fella was make-weight.

Keith Oliver AKA "Johnny Cash"

I seem to have lost my bearings.

...and I'm not rolling along!
Tuesday evening was scheduled in for an open mic entertainments evening in Remezzo's.  Pete Winnett providing the amplification, mics etc.  as well as some of the turn slots.  I did a couple of slots and was not at all pleased with how they sounded to me but having listened a little later to a vid it was not quite as dire as I at first thought.

There were many more people who performed very well though in fact some (unexpectedly) brought their "A" game to the fore.   A special mention about Davey Rogerson though who I thought stole the show, super voice and clearly a cut above the rest.  Also a Mention for Gilly, who's wicked rendition of "Big Spender" was something to behold, literally triple G cup!

The other major event this week is the early demise of both of my rear wheel bearings and of course you can't just get this type off with a couple of screwdrivers and a tap or two.  No the have to be pressed out and in with an hydraulic or a fly press.  Just don't happen to have either of those on Lesanda with us but luckily we know a Geordie who can.  Thanks to Tony G.  For your assistance and the sourcing of the new bearings which will hopefully complete the job tomorrow.  As can be seen in the picture it looks more like it belongs on the back street of some less than salubrious urban ghetto at the moment.
