I dislike cars that hector the driver.

I can remember Hector the dog, but he didn't drive. He did have a house, perhaps it was Zsa Zsa who could hector the driver.

yep its just over 30c the dogs and l are taking things real slow

I get well frustrated with the new tech on cars. My bugbear at the moment is the auto/button handbrake on Mrs T's car. You have to put your foot on the brake pedal before it will release and there's often a delay. Absolutely infuriating 🤬

The auto engine off when stopping is also crap, 1 out of 3 times it won't start up again properly or quickly enough not to get beeped by impatient bell ends behind

I had nearly an inch of rain in two hours yesterday.
Edging ever closer to Derecho season, as well as the tornados.

I used to hate the bongs which told you that the door was open . It used to get on my B******g nerves when I worked in garages .

Nothing nicer than a slice of stale malt loaf wrapped around your teeth

Anyways, it's mild, still and overcast here chez Casa Reynard. Although the sun is *trying* to put in an appearance.

I have had a bit of a kitchen morning. I played tetris in the freezer with five trout portions and four pork steaks, I have cut a batch of chips for tonight and the crock pot is locked and loaded with steak & kidney.

The aroma is fabulous, I am debating whether to leave a window cracked open so I can annoy the neighbours...

Anyways, lunch shortly, and then maybe some bike time.

My car doesn't shout at me unless I've forgotten to turn the lights off or disengage the handbrake.

However, my Cat Nav is very good at yelling in stereo.

Hectors House. I'm a big silly old Hector.

Some of my tomato plant planted out today. The weather looks reasonable for a week or so.

Nice little ride, only an hour but hilly. The Ribble got splashed again with dirty water. Grrrr. Must be good weather as a new pair of Northwave bibs were worn (I don't get the legs out on the road bikes) and my Spesh 'One Less Car' top

Had a lovely lunch of avocado, prawns and two slices of bread and butter, plus a banana, a satsuma, some blueberries and two

Going to wait for that lot to tamp down a bit, and then I'm off for some bike time. Will route my ride to go past the organic veg stall in the village to see if there's any rhubarb. I fancy another rhubarb & banana crumble. I also need some potatoes.

And the sun is putting in an appearance!

It's funny as I admire and am impressed with the amount of technology and engineering in a modern car but I personally don't want any of it on my own car! I like a back to basics motoring approach.

Got told today that I need to manage my expectations better

I nearly said right back to him that he needs to have some expectations but I didn't

Had a lovely 14 mile ride in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres. Went out to Coveney, which is as lumpy a ride as you get out here. Stopped off in the village on the way home, but blokey didn't have any rhubarb. He did have potatoes, so I bought two and a half kilos. I now have more than enough for this weekend's planned roasties.

Now sat down with a lovely and two chocolate finger biscuits.
