I couldn't resist the call of the wild any longer and so I set off for a test ride on the Albion out to the White Hart at Biddestone. It was warm and sunny with a bit of a breeze blowing into my face , with that and the long climb it felt like several thousand feet. I'm sure the Ordnance Survey peeps have got their contour lines wrong.
I went the long way out and managed to get there, had a rest to get my breath back and freewheeled most of the way back.
With my mileage today added to what I have done over the past few months I must have done what some people can only manage in a day.

You were out and pedalling that's what counts

Our second sun flower has just blown over, pulled the stake right out of the ground, I've rescued it the same as the other one.

You're very welcome to it, It's very blustery here.

Apparently there was an almighty thunder storm last night, can't say it bothered my sleep any

Hurricane coming on Sunday!

At the local dealer, I was given a Mercedes Benz





Teddy Bear Key Ring.

As a youngster, I had a lovely maroon Mersaidees Ben Dinky car, it's doors opened as well as the bonnet and boot! I played with it a lot so I could join in with my brothers' car games.

I went out for a cycle ride with my brother earlier.


Much earlier.


Very much earlier.
I'm the little one. View attachment 368407

Lovely old photo. Do you still get to go on bike rides together?

I got home from my ride just now and had to launch a rescue mission, our big sunflower had been blown over, I've picked it up and loosely lashed it to next doors fence. It's stood there now looking forlorn and sorry for itself.

Its been a crap day, I woke up this morning with a minor belly upset, my Good lady has spent the day in A & E with my step daughter, knee problems, and the weather for my ride this morning was wet and windy.

Oh dear. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Very misty today up and down the cornish hills, I couldn't see the sea for quite a while this morning. Much better this afternoon.

What is it about me and fire alarms. On Tuesday night, the woman in the flat downstairs fell asleep after leaving the frying pan on and set off the fire alarm. Had to evacuate and stand in the rain. Fire alarm went off twice at work yesterday for no obvious reason and had to evacuate twice and stand in the rain. I went to Tesco's this evening and the fire alarm went off for no obvious reason and yet again had to evacuate a building to stand in the rain

Two weeks ago a giant tortoise called Abuh went on the run from a children's zoo in Japan. She has now been found though, 140 metres away from the zoo .

Bloke I knew's dad got kicked out of college after he and his pissed-up mates set off all the extinguishers, then, realising they'd get in trouble, lit a fire as cover, which they were then unable to put out, because all the extinguishers were empty.

Who wants to hear about my story about fire alarms and bathroom towels, (small ones)?
