Glad you can carry your lovely Cuir today, Ludmilla...Visited my cousin today. Thanks to her job she sometimes gets presents (aka wine) from costumers. As she is not drinking alcohol... fetched the first bottles.

On the way to her I used the medium cuir.

On the way back the Le Pliage Bilberry. With cuir inside.
Happy Sunday!
I took out my nylon Sonia Rykiel.... Yes... It rained cats and dogs this afternoon....
I think marketing tries to convince us we need "gadgets" to cycle properly.
Truth is, just need to hop onto bike & go. Nothing complex, no wrong way.
You & Tomsmom are correct. Why f*** up what's been working, on bikes, for decades?
This bag nesting idea is brilliant! And works/looks great.Visited my cousin today. Thanks to her job she sometimes gets presents (aka wine) from costumers. As she is not drinking alcohol... fetched the first bottles.

(I have to admit that certain leather bags have to go out with me when it is raining. I am ruthless.

If your pedals work for you, stick with them.
Thanks for the bag love, islanders!
My cousin gave me several bottles of wine from 1997. Sigh. I was 16. (Horrible, horrible age.)
Not sure, if the wine is still good.... Will try a glass of it, now.

I have not been to any Disney theme parks since I was a kid. It must be so much fun for the kids to see these characters.Hehe. It is missing those, definitely.
I read somewhere that there is large turnover for people dressed as characters like Mickey, Minnie, etc. People and kids pull on them unexpectedly. They are considered role models.Kind of like touching your idol.
Hard to see this coming when your head is covered and it's hot.
Let us know if the wine is still good, Ludmilla...
I know nothing about wine but I have heard that some age well and some don't.
I hope yours tastes great.
Happy Mother’s day to all mums.
Had a barbecue yesterday with all the little ones at my sister‘s yesterday. A lot of cake, salads and barbecue sauce to be prepared.
Too many toddlers with chocolate fingers. But my mum was happy.
Today had a bit of drama going on because had to stay in bed until breakfast was ready (at 11) - warning sign threatened me to stay in bed. Little one hadn‘t made anything in kindergarden (has a new teacher) - so tears at that end.
In the afternoon went to the pool for the first time this year. It was a bit chilly but little one managed to swim a full length without swimming aids.
Took out my favorite every day bag. It‘s a Bree - cost per wear is about 20 cents by now.

The cosmic law of strawberries & chocolate turned around for me.

Yummie!
Love the top - my favorite color!
There is a cosmic law with any food and any top I wear - others call it clumsy.

Lovely bag! Love the stringy things.
We will hope the wine aged well.
Same as did you.
I was sweeter at age 16. Never swearing at traffic or threatening uppity home appliances with tools.
Tragic.
Thanks.
I guess color is teal?
Is shimano cycling jersey--baggy clothes over lycra stuff, riding in city. Sweet, sweet air flow
I am Clumsiness Queen. Thankful to little collonil gods of handbag leather protection.
Project o' the day:
Convert annoying nike dri-weave pants into shorts. For evening bike ride with peeps.
With minimal effort & no sewing skills.
Steps:
1) gather tape measure, straight ruler, chalk, scissors, cigarette lighter, fave shorts
2) measure length of fave shorts, mark line with chalk on pants & cut away nike legs
3) use lighter flame to seal cut edges of polyester/spandex fabric, to prevent fraying
4) hooray, air flow & less floaty fabric slithering into chain ring
Overall: some uneven scorching along edges (where fabric caught fire & I extinguished with finger pinches), job done in <20 minutes, thumb is scorched also.
Will wear & see how goes.

You can try a flat iron with a dish towel in between the fabric and the iron. Can seal edges too with fewer chances involving the local fire department.
Hello ladies!
Well, well... 10 degrees this morning ...And it's still raining..
Lots of people are wearing those trendy light weight down jackets ( why on earth didn't I buy one?
) but I saw an old gentleman in a white T-shirt and shorts..
Clothes shops are empty. Everyone is in a bad mood.
Going to make myself a cup of tea and have a few biscuits..
