Family party lunch.
The elephant in the room won't be there.
That's why there's an elephant in the room.
Any thoughts of cycling scuppered by extended family clinging to the wreckage and acting like nothing has changed.

Got the garden pond cleaned out today.

Snap! Sparrows very happy with their restored shower, bath and drinking fountain

My alarm is set for 02:00 for the next two days ☹️

Party lunch passed without incident. I made a conscious effort to drain the hosts wine cellar. Helped the event unfold to some sort of painless conclusion for me.
Side benefit was that the management was obliged to drive us home. A trick I might use at similar events. Also means we seemed to leave earlier than otherwise.

Lunchtime stroll completed

Shopping done at Lidl and coupons for free cake and vegetables earned on next visit - my shopping wasn't that expensive but the customer in front didn't have the app so the cashier suggested I scan my app saving them about £3 and getting me the free cake. My minimal shop then took me up to the next reward level for free vegetables.

Stepfather has been successfully operated on and now has his new hip. Release date is Saturday so I'll take mum up visiting on Friday and then do the patient transport home the next day.

Still quite warm and sunnyish here so coffee, cold drink and book while slumped in the deck chair in the garden is next.

Further to my previous rant about only being able to open a bank account online, circumstances have changed so I don't need said account.
To close the account which I didn't actually use, I had to go into the bank to actually close it because the bank haven't included the facility on their app yet - !
The irony is certainly not lost on me - !

WAH abandoned at 4.30 for the return 1.8 mile walk to collect the car. Brolly needed initially and at the end. Repair looks okay.
Set the walk briefly as a ride and Strava gave me 5:22 for the ascent of humps and a hill.

Nice ride across town and back to help daughter de-spider her sheds & help tidy them up.
Git back just as the rain started 👍

9 riders took part in this morning's ride. It was light grey and cool when we set off. It turned out to be a 20 miler, we stopped off halfway for tea and cake by which time it had got chilly. It was a pleasant ride with stops and long chats.
