Recently I have noticed that, when stocking my honey stall in the morning, an early bird has already passed by, and left an empty jar on the little stall. Obviously the passer by is a customer and clearly I am missing a sales opportunity.
So, this morning I made sure that the stall was stocked nice and early, and I was rewarded with an early morning sale. As is indicated by the title of today's Journal entry, I now only need to sell another 74 jars before I've covered the cost of my recent bulk honey purchase.
Today 30% had an MRI appointment at midday today at the ROH in Birmingham. I was happy to drive her in, as she is not a huge fan of driving through the suburbs of Brum.
I had also realised that we were quite close to a motorcycle clothing dealer, and 30% was quite happy for us to drive over to Moseley, after her appointment, to take a look.
The reason for this little detour is that I am only about seventy days off the planned tour to France and I badly need a decent pair of motorcycle touring trousers. Last year I wore a pair of motorcycle jeans,* and I loathed them. They were incredibly uncomfortable and the weight, and fit, of the armour meant that they had a tendency to slip. I spent the entire tour hitching the bloody things up!
Earlier this week I took delivery of a pair of motorcycle touring trousers from a mail order supplier, and they didn't fit either, so they've been returned, and here I was in J&S trying on a selection from the short and fat section.
After a frustrating forty minutes I gave up and headed home empty handed. I did find one pair that sort of fitted, but the armour position was not right and couldn't be adjusted, hence they were abandoned on the counter.
Back at home I went on-line again and found another supplier that supplies motorcycle trousers in five different leg lengths. A pair has been ordered and should be here in about a week's time. I really hope they fit.
I then slumped on the sofa and had an enormous kip. The rest of the day was spent pottering ... this is code for looking busy, but achieving absolutely nothing!
I should also report that TP arrived home this evening on his bike ... We have a weekend of motorcycling planned.
