Itching to get back on my bike's
Location
Northamptonshire
Afternoon hot chocolate went down well with nice biscuit .

The rain has stopped but looking at the sky I wouldn't be surprised if it rained again.
 
It's been a grey, chilly and blustery day here chez Casa Reynard, with rain moving in at tea time.

Did not sleep well. Only got three hours and then just napped as best I could. Ergo I feel really ghastly and deflated today. Gave in and took a :cuppa: upstairs and listen to the F1.

Have spent most of today working on the writing and listening to the radio whilst sitting by the fire. I have eaten a lot of rubbish - a pan of chips and a load of biscuits.

Ebikes handlebar controller mount has broken. Its a hinged type with a bolt on one side only. The hinged side has broken with the parts the hinge end fits in missing.
Puzzled over how to repair it then had an idea of an open ended mount, typically sold for cameras, clamped over it. Amazon £12.74, AliExpress 76p. Obviously went with the latter, not exactly a disaster if it doesn't work.

Had half an hour drifting in and out of light sleep late afternoon only to wake up fully to see rain on the living room window. Got slightly damp moving the recycling bin to the front of the house ready for emptying on Monday morning.

Nothing else done at all and I may have the evening's hot chocolate a little early before putting my feet up to watch the morning's action from China.

Do you know if there is a railway station, in Suffolk, that has a level crossing at each end of a platform? :scratch:

None immediately come to mind on the lines I regularly use. The closest is March where there's a level crossing immediately to the east of the station and another about 1/4 mile to the west.

Edited to add - For info, March is in Cambridgeshire so out of the Suffolk part of your question. Do you have any pics or is it a quiz question you've seen?

As an aside I can offer another oddity which is Attleborough station in Norfolk where the east and west bound platforms are either side of a level crossing.
