Second cuppa went down well.
Couldn't manage a third in such quick succession .

Coffee & breakfast done. Time to get dressed and head off to Mallory Park.

That’s a long rideor drive

Nice sunny morning when I got up late today.
Quick breakfast and then out on trike. Got a text from Calmac saying the main road was only passible by cars { this due to the offroad bus not being recovered yet} and anybody else has to find an alternative and that means my normal route is going to be busy. Not to bad but the jungle drums had been throbbing but not very accurately so a lot of cars took the only reasonable alternative. Not sure what they can do about bus passengers tho' as there is nowhere to turn round anywhere near and a double decker would be a frightening prospect on bits of that road.
Anyway heard a cuckoo twice and a variety of wildlife before turning back earlier than usual.

I took some of the muscle relaxant tablets because my back was going stiff. Now I feel like a zoned out hippy...

I don't even have to take the muscle relaxants.

My coffee grinder creates so much static it makes the hairs on the back of my hand bristle when I remove the ground beans.

Evidently, I've moved on from tea to coffee this morning.

Just over 300 mile round trip by car as I think it's only the M3 you can cycle on😁

Got here, went to make a cuppa...
Water bottle - check
Gas stove -check
Kettle - check
Mug - check
Coffee - buggerations!
As far as I know the jar of coffee is still on my kitchen table after a last minute repack of the backpack ☹️.

Why is trying to get children to do home work such a hard task

Did you know that it's illegal for a teacher/school to give a child homework?

They can't hear you because there's too much noise in their heads.

Is it over yet or should I go on hiding?

I didn't know that the Eurovision Thong contest was on last night !

It seems wearing one gets you a lot of points !

Thanks @Illaveago; I think that answers the question...

Why?

More to the point, why didn't someone tell me this sooner?

Exactly. With all that's happening to teenagers brains it's a miracle they retain any extra information long enough to spew it out on an exam paper.

Lunch in the oven.

Kizzy has been given her P45.

There was a mouse in the lounge, and Kizzy could not catch it. It ran into the utility room and she still could not catch it. When I went into the utility room it was just in front of the washing machine. I had a damp flannel in my hand and threw it over the mouse. The weight of said flannel was enough to stop it moving while I got another flannel and sort of wrapped both flannels around the mouse. Mouse in flannel were taken outside. I had a good look at mouse (large, brown, and slightly dishevelled) before I let it go amongst some tall plants in the front garden.

There is cyclist who lives up the road, who is now wondering why one of his neighbours talks to damp flannels.
