Good morning.

Morning.
It is dark but grey out.
I have fed Georgie and made some .
I see that someone's insect farm isn't doing very well and has got the Beeb to plug eating insects! I wish they would bu**er off with that idea! I've eaten a few whilst out on a ride and haven't noticed any benefit from doing so !

Ah, but they weren't cooked.

Mind, when you live here, just about *anything* is a hill...

Although that bit of NCN 23 - the road drops sharply, and there's a horrible climb up the other side. The entry into Ovingdon is evil!

What constitutes a hill is subjective though.

Also useful for kicking someone up the... derriere... when they ask stupid questions.

I used to commute in steel toe capped boots, I would straighten toe clips then rebend them so they would fit the boots.

Have you thought about steel toecapped trainers?

I have two pairs of such trainers.. All 4 are rated at EN ISO 20345 2011

We're of to Silverstone village (not the track you hate @Reynard) to watch granddaughter play football, this morning..

I don't mind the downward ones, it's the upwards ones I don't like .

Not another statue that has upset someone !
Why don't they just put a disclaimer at the bottom saying that the person might not have been as nice as previously thought !

This is the problem: no statue means people may never hear about the person, good or bad. A statue with something creative telling the other side if the story allows people to understand better. The Edward Colston statue in Bristol could have had statues of slaves placed around it, so people could see how he (and by extension Bristol) became wealthy.

Is this an addition to your culinary skills, insects on toast?

Oh boy , now there's a thought ! l can just imagine the sort of conflicts that such a statue would be the rallying point for .
