Cumberland sausages would be great in it…

Today is back at work. Landed yesterday afternoon from an 11 days trip in Japan on my own.
Loved it. I stayed in Tokyo for 6 days. My nephew lives there, he offered me a room, and gave me a transport pass IC card. And go ! As I usually do abroad, I just go were the tourists aren’t, eat in the small local shops, etc. Tokyo is like we imagine, frenetic, stroboscopic, and easy to live in. Transports are top efficient. I walked between 10 and 15 km every day. Then I took the Shinkansen fast train and spent 2 days in Nagoya, and on Sunday travelled from Nagoya to Narita to fly back home through Dubai (on the amazing Airbus A380). Enough talking, I drop a few pictures:

Today I have mostly been trying to dodge the showers (unsuccessfully) while going for our daily stroll down the bridle path. Aborted yesterday as it wazzed it down all day.
A bit of extra entertainment was had today as we came across a nice lady (with 2 kids in tow) stuck about half a mile down the path… in a Tesla.
Not a wide path, she did well to get a car that far, and will do even better reversing it back out.
Apparently the satnav told her to do it. 
Anyway, gave her directions to the carpark she was attempting to find before climbing through the bushes and leaving her to it.
And she’s not the first car we’ve come across there.
Pah, half term, tourists

Today I’ve been making a bracket so I have somewhere to mount a big ‘UK’ sticker on my bike when I go Spain next year. I used an improvised metal bender…
which unfortunately slipped a couple of millimetres on one side, so ended up filing top edge to make it horizontal again. (Sides will have to stay skewed.)
I then painted it and the other luggage shelf parts in an improvised spray booth.
My ‘workshop’ is the conservatory and on seeing my activity Robin turned up to prompt me to refill feeder

Took the BM for its MOT yesterday, passed with advisory on tyres. So new tyres or new bike in the spring. Brimmed the tank with E5 and unlikely to leave the garage now till Easter. 
Receiving a possible recall for the rear tyre on my Tiger. Apparently the Tourance Next 2 has had instances of spontaneously deflating, which obviously is not good…

Yes, you only need the MASSIVE ugly ovals for Spain (& Cyprus)
Edit: On second read I probably misunderstood what you was getting at.

My thinking exactly!
Have they told you not to ride it until you get a new tyre fitted? At least they’ve acted quickly to let you know there’s a problem rather than say nothing. Any idea when they’ll have the tyre for you?
I was told to be careful. New tyres are now being produced, I’m not entirely sure when they’ll be available for distribution. I did notice with my current tyre that it loses pressure more often than my previous one. Bless TPMS!
