.Has she got a sister? If so, ask her if she wants to move to Telford.Take what time you need. There is no hurry, in spite of the banter.
I have been making an experimental blackberry crumble at my partner's place. Made with oats! Picked the berries this morning. Sitting in garden in the sun.

Those bikes you write about are about 10kg lighter than the Argos special. I picked it up while standing on a decent bathroom scale a week or two back and i gained 25.6kg all at once. At one time, I did think of fitting an electric kit to the Brompton - front wheel change obviously, ut to be honest, where I ride that bike, I am fine just pedalling it. It isn't hilly and in some ways, it seems a shame to change the light and agile Bromton by adding weight. I'm also not sure how the addition of a motor would impact the tyre life on the narrow Brompton wheel. There is not a lot of tyre contact area as the thing is set up now. I can imagine it spinning in the wet - but I have no experience, so that could be nonsense.
I thought you had your hands full with all the nurses. You must be getting better after all.
I'm not sure it matters that much when you are actually riding it , more carrying it around and stowing it away.
To be honest, these days, I am conscious of the need to keep pushing myself a bit as regards maintaining strength. If you don't test yourself regularly with humping weight about, pretty soon the ability to do it leaves you and then what? So I won't shy away from picking it up and humping it about. It isn't any problem anyway, though it is different to picking up the Brompton. I have a mate who is about the same age as me who doesn't hesitate to pick up a ten or eleven stone sheep and put it over a wall or into a trailer. I used to help him on the farm at busy times and I remember having once to get a full grown ewe with a big fleece out of the pond she had drowned herself in and then put the body over a wall so the knacker man could collect her. At least ten stone of sheep and a lot of water .... I was struggling.
That's a good point. You can always overcome weight by adding more power to get more speed uphill, but on a downhill, the heavier bike will always be faster.
Yes, I used to do a lot of humping, but I don't get so much opportunity these days. Is that whyI can't pedal as hard as you. The only time I pedal hard now is when I see them, but then I have to slow down a bit to get the most from it.
Or you can highly likely get a rear hub motor (definitely a BBS01B mid-drive, my Helios P8 frame is the same shape) into one of these, if you can convince the seller to part with one - I really don't understand why so often sellers insist on selling folding bikes in pairs, they're not kids cats or dogs.
Might be wrong but I've read those and the stainless steel framed versions are seriously rickety rides.
I am not sure what to make of this.
Blue tablets!I am not sure what to make of this.
I am wondering if some of the medication has disagreed with you.
Oh dear - what are they for?
Yes, if there is any possibility to get any of these bikes, the shop should be able to sort it out. They have access to more info than the Internet.
