Second cuppa went down well with a slice of toast and honey

Good morning from a dull grey Suffolk. It looks like there was a little bit of rain earlier, but it's now dry underfoot.

A quiet day in prospect as I've got a long weekend of travelling ahead - off up north to see a band on Friday, home on Saturday, back up north on Sunday to the same hotel & venue for a different band, a little bit further north on Monday for a walk and then home on Tuesday.

Meant to be sunny intervals but very scarce. Work visits this am and in the 39 miles a few big puddles about and only one cyclist seen.

SSGN-726 is due to be retired in 2 years along with four others.....

That's a pretty old one, probably due.

Yeah and the question is what will they do with it?
Park it up or sell it?

I thought you were in need.

Nah, you're closer than me anyway.

I went out this morning for a ride with my friends. On the way to my friend's house I passed a sign which said Free/scrap, it was on 2 children's bikes parked against a lamp post. I walked back from my friend's house and picked one up. A Pendleton Hanberry. I'll see if our grandchild will like it .
The weather remained grey but the sun did come out once . I did 16 miles.

I get the impression it's still at the pre laying stage .
But that's a good idea

No snooze today as I have to go to bed earlyish as my alarm is set for 02:50 for the next two days 😢

It's a mostly grey but VERY warm day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, but my hayfever is in overdrive due to the high pollen count. So if any one was wondering about the sneezing around here, then wonder no more. Spent the morning writing.

Had a lovely luncheon of a chunk of Melton Mowbray pork pie, two slices of wholemeal toast, one with Polish sausage, one with Boursin cheese, plus a banana, a red orange and two

This afternoon I shall be carrying on with identifying and cataloguing F3000 photos.

Anyway.. A pleasant 7½ miles ti the charity shop & farm shop in, unbelievably, warm weather!
I purchased a jar of Ginger Marmalade.

That's the way these people operate. If you aren't their favourite, you're rubbish. So, Djokovic fans will tell you Federer was second rate. Ali fans will tell you Foreman was hopeless. It's infantile.

Oh, tell me about it... In this case, it're the Senna fanboys. Although the Villeneuve ones are almost as bad.

I'm surprised @Jenkins hasn't had a whirl at my Brownie Points question. Him being a Sportscar afficionado, I'd have thought he'd have twigged that one pretty easily...
