SWMBO has just e-mailed me an article on cyanide poisoning*. Should I be worried?

* Cyanide in cassava was part of a dietitian's discussion yesterday. But still ...

I had accidentally put this thread on ignore.

Who is this? 🤔

Morning back home now

Does that mean you did 50 miles? 🤔

Morning all, coffee drunk & porridge scoffed. I think a slow bimble to the shops for some milk and a ride along the seafront to see just how busy it is will be taken later.

Morning all. A quick laundry run underway and then a wander over to the supermarket. Teas 2 and 3 were good, number 1 suffered from the milk being on the turn. I drink so little of it that if they sold milk in half pints I'd buy them.

Second cuppa went down well
Walk around the block completed

Shortish Pre-work dog walk done. Not too hot for the pooch yet either. She might get a midnight walk when I finish, too, if it's cooled down enough.

A sweaty and hot 25 miles this morning giving the new Castelli bib shorts and Top a run in. Laundry done and new fish have settled well into the tanks.

Now cooking and listening to New Order - Brotherhood on vinyl.

Early walk this morning with Mr Hebe.

There is a bunch of birthday related fettling that I should be doing, rather than sitting in a shaded pop up tent with a cat, a coffee and a fine intention to watch some more of the Giro Donne on GCN+.

I've been out in the garden in the shade filing out some deep scratches on my Weinmann aluminium brake levers. I then polished them up . I have been working in the shade but it is getting a bit warm now .
I can feel a siesta coming on .

It's Friday

I'm back, and it's now Sunday.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Middle Son graduated on Friday with an average grade of 1.7. The local grading system has a grade of 1.0 being top and 5.0 being the bottom, so he was one of the highest achievers in his year.

To say I'm proud of him is a massive understatement.

No-one else noticed, but he had his hair tied like a samurai; he's not only half Japanese but his Japenese family have Samurai ancestry...

He attended the Realschule which is like the middle-grade school, and equivalent to "A" levels in the German system. Next year he'll go to Gymnasium, which is the top level for three years so he can study to be a teacher.

I'm proud of him for that too; he's a gifted teacher and will be fine if he can get through the system.

He'll have to learn French, which we've realised marks the first time our kids had to study a genuine foreign language at school...

Did warm up here to 24C for a while but not much sunshine.
I had to got down to the Main St about midday and pandemonium everywhere.
A large cruise liner had anchored out in the Sound and passengers ferried ashore. Add on a double decker with day trippers and some tour buses so probably a few thousand wandering around all over the carriageway and treating it as a pedestrian zone.
Thank goodness we do not have a shop now and we seldom opened on Sundays either. Not for religious reasons but just to get a day off. In those days there were not so many people around and on good days they would all be outdoors probably at a beach.
The turnover would not have covered the wages and electricity.

Hot and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept surprisingly well. Kept it gentle this morning, and then I toddled off to Tesco for final reductions. Bakery was a total bust (they didn't do final reductions there ergo nothing worth taking), the chilled was mostly ready meals and those sausages with the veg in them (yuck!), but had major luck in the green bins and the fruit & veg.

Came back with a whole rotisserie chicken, a tray of sliced cooked chicken, spinach, chestnut mushrooms, sprouting broccoli, avocadoes, tomatoes*, two large boxes of PG Tips tea bags and five boxes of breakfast cereal.

Now sat with a and a chocolate waffle thing and watching the Formula E via the Tube of You.

* I am now the proud owner of four kilos of ripen-on-the-vine tomatoes. I shall be making chutney.

A wee portion of night riding Friday into Saturday followed by Sat daytime riding.
