Itching to get back on my bike's
Location
Northamptonshire
Hot summer fruits drink time
 
Warm, mostly overcast and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well. Very odd dream about racing drivers dressed in two-tone blue overalls and cat shows and sitting in a university lecture hall. No, I've not figured it out, either... :wacko:

Have had a quiet morning. I picked tomatoes - irritatingly I'm about half a pound short to make a full batch of chutney tomorrow, so will have to wait till Monday. It's just easier on the maths that way. I've also picked through the filberts I foraged yesterday, removing any extra greenery. They've been spread out on a large tray outside to dry. I also spotted some more in another place on the way home last night, so I'll go and investigate later.

Plan on an afternoon writing and watching the Hundred, and then later, I'll go out and do a bit more foraging. At this time of year, the bike chooses itself, as I need the rack and panniers. :blush:

It is almost time for luncheon.

Heavy rain showers all day so only out as far as the dustbin and to the car to retrieve a missing bag of bread flour. No bread flour in Aldi or Lidl so had to resort to Tesco to keep the stock up.
GP phone appointment seems to have been organised by a nurse despite me telling her not to bother as they had not contacted me with any detected problems. According to latest scans I have gallstones which I already knew about but nothing else sinister detected. He wants me to increase frequency of blood tests tho'.
Saw an interesting small group of mature touring cyclists yesterday while waiting for a ferry. Rather reminded me of a book on my kindle about the adventures of a group of mostly retired but definitely not poor South Africans "doing" Europe by bike.
They all had the same kind of bike, probably hired but a variety of luggage. Some had lots and one had very little.
In Germany they worked out that they did about 20Km per litre of beer with added shots of cognac sometimes.
They had the advantage they said of no wives handy to restrain them.^_^

Trivia, afternoon ride. Had to push my bike up a hill. But got sidetracked by the blackberries. Truly amazing, perfectly ripe and unctuous.
Disturbed by the phone. My companion wanting to know where I was and why I hadn't caught up.

Plan to return soon, appropriately equipped, from the upside of said hill.

Or should I take ice cream in the freezer pot and consume blackberries and ice cream al fresco?

Decisions, decisions
