Firsts

I have my first Canadian puncture. Not bad for 4 years use of my bike. It seems to be a slow puncture; the tire was fine Friday, then Saturday it was completely flat. I pumped it up and it was okay for a quick trip to the drugstore and back but then flat Monday. It was probably flat Sunday too but I didn't check. This will be a good opportunity to show my stepson how to change a tire. Then he can do it for me in future. ;) Funny how we call it having a flat tire when it's the tube that's flat.

Another 'first' this morning. Or, more accurately, a biggest. The biggest spider I've seen in Canada. It was still titchy compared to UK house spiders; only an inch across toe to toe. :)
