Okay, you might have trouble sitting down. Is that a bad thing in the job?

I don't know yet. I suspect it will be like the last job: I'll be tired out for a few weeks and then get used to it.

In the meantime, I'm eating toast.

Does the bread fit in the toaster now.

I bought some "Toastbrot" specially.

Ankle has improved enough to be back on the bike, so went out for a quick hour before work - MrsF has been getting up at 6am for a swim (the only time you can get in, and she has to book each day at 6am for the next week as all slots go. I've so far not gone out on the bike at that time !

I set off at 7:30, back for 8:30. Fairly mild and light winds with a bit of . Trails still rather muddy in places though !

How much more does that cost?

It's not too much. After 20 years they are even getting the consistency a lot better: It used to have the consistency and moisture of old sacking.

Never having eaten old sacking, toasted or otherwise, I'm willing to take your word on it.

I very deliberately didn't say "taste": I know you too well.

Yolped it down then?

Trial ride complete. It's about 15k or 9 miles thirteen chains, fifteen half horses and twenty one dessert spoons or whatever the imperial fractions are. The ride in took 35 minutes and the return took 45 minutes, because there was a headwind and I investigated a longer but more scenic route back.

From experience this year the wind blows north in the morning and south in the afternoon, so I should be travelling with the wind in both directions.

Photos didn't happen as I was timing myself but I'll be riding the route again soon: my legs are telling me they need the practice...

I believed this post until I got to the tailwind fantasy.

Look, I'm trying to be optimistic okay? Don't shatter my dreams...

Gave MrsF her present yesterday - birthday not for 4 weeks, but stocks were selling out, and a 3.5m box was hard to store. As expected, supplied wall anchors were rubbish, so off to Homebase for proper ones. The 'awning' is now fitted and we sat under it last night for an hour whilst MrsF watched Sewing Bee on the laptop.

Mild and overcast here chez Casa Reynard, with the prospect of some rain later.

The crock pot is locked and loaded with a chilli for later. I've made a large batch so won't need to do too much in the way of cooking for the next few days.

If it's not raining after lunch, might take the mower out for a bit.

Anyways, lunch. I'm more than a tad peckish.
