It's been a lovely warm and sunny day here chez Casa Reynard after a chilly start.
Slept well enough, but three hours less than I really need. So made a

Then my friend Linda came and picked me up. We went for a lovely hour and a half's dog walk along the river, and then she treated me to tea and cake. We demolished a pot of tea each. Linda had a slice of lemon & lavender drizzle cake, I had some orange & rosemary polenta cake. Really enjoyed my afternoon.
A quiet evening is planned. I don't need to cook, as there is stuff in the fridge that just needs reheating.
Thank you one and all for all the lovely Cake Day wishes xxx

I watched "Green Signals" earlier this evening. The answers are
Llanelli, Grimsby Town, Harwich International, and Rye.
Elsenham was not allowed has it has two "staggered" platforms.
Other suggested answers, but not allowed because the level crossings were too far away from the platform: Lincoln, Sleaford,
Bedlington and Farncombe.
Decades ago, I travelled from Harwich to Hamburg, but I did not notice the two level crossings.

Today's question is; What is the longest scheduled train journey with no advertised on board refreshments?

I went on the group ride with 8 others this morning. It was lovely and sunny and was an enjoyable ride. It was the first time that I had ridden in full lycra get up. It was the Fausto Coppi Technogym racing colours which goes with my dark metallic blue Coppi K28.

I took my Pinarello frame back over to Spindles the LBS in Corsham to see if they could remove my BB. I held one spanner whilst the chap heaved on the tool on the other side cup. Who needs to go to a gym when you can exercise your muscles doing something constructive. We managed to get one cup almost out but it was the wrong one. The free cup should have been on the non drive side but our free one was on the drive side. We gave up when we didn't seem to be getting any further. The free cup was behaving like the thread had stripped.
I came home with the frame and sprayed some freeing spray in and left it for a couple of hours. Just before tea I thought I would just go and have another play. With a bit more oil and working back and forth it came out! We had frightened it into submission!

A very quiet evening has been had with my feet up and the football on in the background. A late hot chocolate is about to be had and then more feet up time.
