Apparently there's going to be an 8-day strike at Felixtowe docks. Some quality cycling time for @Jenkins by the looks of it...

Not likely now we're the regional hub for this area - the ships will just go down to Tilbury or Gateway and we'll get the work anyhow.
I could do with some quiet time - now I've moved to 08:00 - 15:00 three days a week I'm busier than before on full time shift working as I miss out on the 07:00 - 08:00 and post 17:00 quiet times.

Friday was a lovely day. Train out to Cambridge and then a bit over 50 miles on the bike back to Stowmarket where a late lunch and a few beers were taken. Another train back from Stowmarket to Ipswich where I couldn't be bothered waiting 50 minutes for the Felixstowe train, so back on the bike again. I may have had to stop for yet another refreshment break on the way...

By the way, I didn't get pinged for using an off peak ticket on a peak time train.

One little amusing bit from Friday. Approaching a queue of traffic in Bury St. Edmunds I was overtaken by big Harley Davidson motorbike with the stereotypical rider - middle aged, greying beard, matt black open face helmet, denim waistcoat with all the patches over the leathers, looking the part. Until i saw that the radio in the faring was tuned to...Radio 2

Yesterday evening I tried to watch some of the Women's Hockey. I found it very confusing because one of the teams colours were the same colour as the flooring.

Gurgling tummy feeling

Good morning. Overcast and breezy today. I bet I'll have a headwind on the way to work.

Must remember to shave before I go.

Dampish but not too cold as less NW wind than yesterday. Typical West Highland late summer day really.
Library day but parking the car when I get back could be a nightmare as we are getting even more congested. Might be worth getting the trike out if it is dry.

So it won't blow your whiskers in?
