Currently I am not thinking of buying a bike. Is there somewhere with a circuit to try one out?

Giant shops will give you a trial ride, free. Others tend to cost you £50.

Had a fabby day yesterday stewarding at the Supreme and got to cuddle some wonderful cats. We had a few that had been to the "Poppy School of Tortie Language" and one chronic wiggler, but every cat on my judge's book was amenable to being handled - a miracle given how different the Supreme is to other shows. Icing on the cake was owners coming to find me to say thank you for handling their cats.

Journey to and from Brum was rather soggy in the morning and a bit less soggy on the homeward leg, but took us just a shade over two hours each way.

Us stewards were given £10 in NEC food vouchers for lunch. Thank goodness I took a flask and pack-up as the vouchers only stretched to a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a bag of crisps...

Have spent today doing not a lot.

Next show is in a fortnight, but this time the boot is on the other foot as I'm judging.

That could be where they're going wrong. Charging the rider and not the bike. Must be a shocking experience though.

But ultimately positive, I hope.

Morning! It is a sunny frosty start to the day here .

First day of wearing my Akubra while riding, so it is officially winter in this region.

Coming down the steep hill into the town was slightly unnerving bearing in mind it is only kept tight by a rolled up wad of newspaper* in the inside band, but we made it.

*That's "Vorsprung durch Technik". that is.

We went to the horse of the year a couple of years ago, the food prices were eye watering & the quality was dire

You'd think it would be fabulous being horse of the year? Was it over cooked

Day off, going to pop over to Holkham Beach North Norfolk Coast for a bit of sea air and maybe a bag of chips at Wells

Lovely morning here, bright and not too chilly

The local train service has been cancelled for the day due to a train fault, which means the first part of my trip to Nottingham will be by bus.

Chilly one this morning

Car said it was 2 degrees when I got in it, but on the journey it dropped to -1 at one point

Having put back every clock that needed putting back an hour yesterday... I realised at half past sodding three this morning that I'd forgotten about my alarm clock

You sure it wasn't half past sodding four?

Chinstrap, maybe?
