Mist and currently a lack of sunshine.

Decent sleep but needed more after this week but hounds need walking before we get the train to Birmingham for my mates wedding part 1 (weekend away in the peaks at a venue next weekend). Need to check a few bits of next weeks speech don’t offend too much.

Original plan was a boozy day, not sure that’s the best idea currently

Mrs Wakemalcolm's legs have said: no more, so I'm off on 2 wheels this morning. Might try and find that there Greg James chap as I'm a big fan of Mercians, he's riding one into town, and it's sunny.

Some coffee to finish off first.

Sitting on a boring call listening to 2 sets of advisors doing a q&a session, while getting on with a bit of real work and supping coffee. Will be chilling later and riding tomorrow.

Yes, I'd say a few shandies wouldn't hurt after near death...

Anyway, up and out on the bike again before work, a 30km out and back along the valley so nothing huge. I did feel like turning back early though after hitting the gym last night.

Currently attempting to eat my own bodyweight in various bits and bobs.
 
Morning all.
Gorgeous day here. Shworking from home whilst trying to arrange visits to pharma's to collect more drugs for the hols. Shockingly easy pick up from the hozzy. Local druggist was a joke. Still not in. Maybe this arvo.
Whilst there in walks a bloke all coughing and sneezing to collect his prescription. FFS, if you are ill do not go to the pharmacy and spread your germs you git!! And just before I go away. If I get ill I'll ... him!!
Espresso due shortly.

We thought about seeing him off from Gala at he was starting about 0500, so no chance!

Well, that was a bit of a damp squib, and since I met him down at Porty it could easily have been a damp squid too.

After realising that there was a slight delay on his tracker, I arrived on his route to be told by a lady far too old to be a Radio 1 listener that I'd just missed him. Caught up with him to find nobody riding stoker and a pilot rider next to him, from the Jonas Vingegaard school of road charm, telling me to back off in no uncertain terms (2nd word was definitely 'off'). The tandem had some fairly decent SPD SLs on the back so I wonder whether they slip on a baller on quiet parts of the route.

Followed the convoy as it was probably the safest way to ride through Edinburgh today and enjoyed milking the applause of those who had nothing better to do after their 2 seconds of Greg.

Eventually he ran a red light in town and I lost him. His route ran along the Western approach road and I didn't have the heart to tell the gathered groupies staring expectantly at their tracker on a bridge above it that he'd actually passed beneath them.
