Here comes the rain

There are a number of reasons for it to be raining heavily at the moment
  1. It is summer
  2. MK is out of the house running errands whilst the cleaner is doing her stuff
  3. Mandy is getting married tomorrow and it is practicing
  4. We now have a child trailer that would be fun to try out in the dry

Never mind, it's good for the garden.

Further on the subject of the bike trailer, given that it cost 50% more than my first car, I think I am obliged to elaborate a little on it's features.

It has adjustable leaf spring suspension which is apparently a unique feature in a bike trailer. The build quality id very good, it is made of aluminium so it is lite and all the materials seem to be high quality. The cushioning inside is all cool-max and the white bits glow in the dark (ti my surprise when I put it in the basement). We are looking forward to taking it for a spin, but I think it may be a couple of weeks before MK wants to sit on anything as narrow as a bike seat!

    Wait till you try towing it! even towing something in a car seems like hard work to me!
    Good luck to K, D, J and you with the rest of the summer weather.

    S in the verb, C in the noun!
    (same for absence, words commonly misspelt on reports & sent back for correction)

    I presume that Dickie will be in the toilet all weekend. Does he have a good book?

    Surely K will be in the trailer with W riding.

    How about "lite", wrm?
    Is this a US spelling?

    The rain will stop on Tuesday.

    Ideal for family outings!.
    Does MK fit in with both the kids? I
    f towing really is as tedious as wrm suggests is that not a reason to go for a tandem as the prime mover?
    You could spec that up to be quite a device, alternativey your Christiana (?) friends could probably knock you up a rickshaw type device to do it in parallel. Have you thought about devising a recumbent as a tow vehicke? That could work really well and could have the benefit of better seating for the longer journey - easier on the older arse. Double drive would work well.
    It would have the advantage of filling the garage (assuming you havn't demolished it) and if a tricycle would be nmore stable.

    Lots of typos to comment on and possibly grammar. Better than enjoying the content!
