Sunny day with not a cloud to be seen so I was out early to get some exercise on the trike. Mostly a nice run and I sat in the sunshine for a while waiting on the service bus to Dervaig go past. It never appeared tho' I thought the weekday timetable operated on Saturday as well. Obviously not.
While sitting there somebody pulled into an old quarry and started flying a drone over my head so I moved off.
Just as well as convoys of cars usually led by a large motorhome appeared which was a bit of a nuisance for triking.

My house windows are open and there was a strange noise outside. A neighbour was out trying to get more stuff into her bin by squashing everything down so there must be plastic bottles in there cracking up and making the noise. If she gets it too tight it may not empty.

Special thanks to Mod Pat. I was totally confused by an apparent inability to get any response so you may have had multiple requests. Sorry.:sad:

My defence, your honour revolves around advice from this site to simply wear a rain jacket.
Unfortunately the Scroat who nicked my bike also got my rain jacket.

That mean that the advice I received implied that not having a rain jacket suggested I go naked. It is unfortunate that around noon the High Street was busier than usual. I do apologise for any upset that my actions may have caused That concludes my mitigation statement in my defence.
Having read your eloquent defence and upon reading statements from a number of mature ladies who were present when stopped by the officer,they all stated that you also had a helmet.So I find you have no case to answer and you are free to go because this case has taken longer to be addressed I will award you costs against the Police This will be just enough to purchase cake,coffee and a generous sized bacon sandwich, which I understand most cyclists enjoy.You are free to go.

Walked into town to do the errands and see the local cycle advocacy group’s stand at an event. Handed in my feedback and got a few goodies in return - an excellent multitool, a pound token thingie, a water bottle and a hi vis reflective thing for the mister when he is running in the dark. Laundry is rather optimistically on the line, next load in the machine and I am on my favourite sofa with a cat and a coffee.

Was nice and sunny but as soon as I went out to sit in my garden the clouds came over and it got cold.
Back indoors the sun is back out and probably warm again.:wacko:
I noticed last night when I went to bed there was what looked like a full moon in the clear sky. Teachers I have known as well as local councillors all said that the children were unsettled in class and complaints from the public rose during a full moon. Does this explain the current mass hysteria we seem to be experiencing?:ohmy:
 
Cool, blustery and occasionally showery here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, and spent the morning picking tomatoes and then turning them into a large cauldron of soup. The rain has gotten into them and the skins are splitting, so they won't keep terribly well. Also, I've noticed that a bunch of pigeons have been trying to peck at the ripe ones. I also did some writing and watched the coverage of the Accession Council and the Proclamations.

Lovely luncheon of a corned beef and tomato chutney sandwich, half a mango, some raspberries and two :cuppa:

Now listening to the coverage of the F1 qualifying from Monza. Sam Bird is on the commentary team this weekend. :wub: According to a commentator friend, he's not known for turning up on time (if at all) but when he does, he is knowledgeable and good to listen to.

Once that's done, I have plans involving apples and blackberries... :hungry:
