Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

At least she is a bit better @Blackbird11. That's a nice area there. Ah cool. Have you had Valhalla ice cream? It's the best in Tasmania. 

This will tell you. I posted these earlier. 

Omg my stupid pump for my tiers didn't work so I went to a seven 11 I've got one done but the other I can't undo, and I have so much grease on me @ Snowie

Once I get this one done I'm going home and not riding today. I've spent two hours trying to fix them. 

I haven't even road my bike @ reversal 

I'm about to cry I'm so annoyed. I hate grease and my hands are covered in it. I got the cap off so once I have it pumped I'm going back home to cry. 

I'm back home, very annoyed.

I've got most of the grease off. It's just so annoying. I won't be able to go for one tomorrow if it rains. 

I'm just upset at myself. 

Who knew pumping a bloody bike tier would be so hard? I'm just so annoyed at myself. Why I can't do anything that's so simple? It's so frustrating @ snowie 

I got them both done in the end. I'm not riding now. My dad said to wait in case one seemed to go down very quickly, so I need to check for a puncher.

@Birdofparadise8 if you have a bike shop close by, often they can help you with tyres. they might be able to repair the puncture for you and show you how to use the bike pump properly. maybe you could have a look for a bike store? something local you could either walk your bike to or catch some local transport to the store? i was having problems with one of my bikes a few years ago and the local bike shop was able to help me. might be worth asking

also dishwashing liquid is good for getting grease off. many people use it, for some reason its better then soap.

Hi @outlander 

Yeah, I will check on my bike tomorrow to see if it has a puncture. 

I worked out how to pump it up in the end. The one at the servo was way better than what I have my little crapy one. 

Yes, I used that. I guess it's like cooking oil and fat dishwashing liquid gets them off. 

How's things been? Are you in a hospital or having anything done? It's been a while since we have spoken. I'm also sorry I upset you. I hope you know that.

Reading that over makes me feel like I'm acting so precious @Blackbird11 

[Blackbird11]

It sounds like a challenging day @Birdofparadise8, I hope things work out ok.

Have you been able to do something nice to end your day?

It is a nice area @Birdofparadise8, I have had Valhalla 🫶 have you had Van Diemens Land Creamery ice creams?

They are delicious too.

[Blackbird11]

It genuinely sounds very challenging @Birdofparadise8 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, a very annoying two plus hours @Blackbird11 

I've had dinner and been watching a show. 

Yes I have, but I prefer Valhalla, I don't really like Van Diemens as much. 

[Birdofparadise8]

Maybe I'm overthinking it as I do with everything @Blackbird11 

Sorry, I'm a lot to deal with.

[Blackbird11]

Glad you are getting to relax now @Birdofparadise8
