A mostly unsupervised day here.

Had cycling plan, route in the phone even.

Grismal here, now! Can't do anything bicycicular until after 1000.
Remember not to wear cycling top for the Zoom meeting.! Bit of a giveaway.

Sadly, 1000 is when rain is forecast to start. Quite disappointing.

Might just go out in the rain for a couple of hours.

Grismal is a great word. You've described the sky here too.

Although it would be funny to join the zoom call with cycling top, helmet and sunglasses on, and make no reference to it

Good morning all, rain through the night and into this morning, now just grey and muggy.
First cuppa has gone cold, but I can re build it

Good morning from Suffolk where cloud cover is starting to take over from the earlier sunshine. Coffee has been had after a very good night's sleep with a fresh pack of Lidl's finest Colombian being opened.

Hopefully it will stay dry today so i can get out and about for a couple of hours this afternoon.

Evidently it's our 21st anniversary today good job I remembered 🥳.

And as like every other year we will have a junior joining us for tea so it will be nothing fancy

@Gwylan - I've joined a work meeting in one before. They give up with me now.

And I've realised why the fruit teacakes I bought on Saturday seemed to have very little fruit in them. They're just plain brown teacakes. Oops!

Think this should be in the " getting old" category 😊

Now 1100 and no rain.
Going to take the "station" bike down to the beach.
A 10km pootle. See how we get on. Also teach the ebike a lesson. It can't keep messing about.

Second cuppa went down well
It's starting to brighten up a bit
Been asked to pick up jelly some stuffed whales !!!

Yes. A group of us cycled there and back in 1990.

You're a regular then? 😁

The K&A is probably where I cycle the most. Did the whole thing in three bits a while ago after dropping 4 digits on a XC MTB to do the bumpy half on. Did it west to east, Bristol to Trowbridge, Trowbridge to Hungerford then Hungerford to Reading. Bristol to Bath I did on the rail path as that bit of the canal is no longer with us. Most of the towpath beyond Devizes is unbearable on a bike without boingy bits!

Am I being too interesting?

We did the K&A a few weeks ago.
Reading to Bristol.
I had the wrong bike. Actual bits along the canal are mostly dire.

You can definitely see why the NCT (NCR?) diverts off onto quieter lanes at several points.

Nice 13 mile pre work ride completed
First cuppa brewing
Looks like it might rain
Plums with my cereals

I hope if it was porridge that you let it cool before popping yer plums in?
