Looks to be wet all day here. I’m inclined to get a walk in, in this weather, rather than ride. Weekend looks drier.

Wet here too. I decided to go track racing in the dry at Manchester.

Good morning from Soggy Suffolk as there's been more rain this morning in addition to last night's wetness. First cuppa downed and a quick trip into Felixstowe is in prospect after breakfast as I need to get a couple of birthday cards and some weedkiller I reserved for collection. Later on I'll drop the Spa Elan into the bike shop to have the brake hoses professionally cut to size and then do a big shop and get a tank of diesel ready for the weekend.

Me getting 34 is typical of me; quickly finding the principle but not paying proper attention to the sequence. Though, seeing as you've used the word right, only the 1st addition is right and the following lines are all a kind of consistent wrongness.

How do you know they haven't put the numbers through an Enigma machine ?

I’ve had 4 solid days on the bike, so do me good to have a day off with a walk. I will be out Sat, with a 5-6 hour outing on Sunday. Hoping to catch train Sunday and do a one way ride home with wind behind me.

Too much information.

Just wishing more people would play the Film game, the 4 word one, the lie thread and the chain.

Yes, I'm bored.

That's a funny typo. Unless you're on a promise....

For any afficionados of that era, Elkie Brooks, followed by Joan Armatrading, are in concert this evening on BBC Four.

I have a question for people who know about woody things. Long story short there were some railway sleepers large timbers to stop me falling down a steep bank at the end of the garden. After about ten years the sleepers rotted and were replaced. The old ones were placed nearby in the hope they would rot away, but this is not happening and just looks a mess. I do not mind a bit of a mess, if it will be beneficial to insects etc.

I could turn them over, and my question is whether insects and/or small rodents, snakes etc, would nest underneath. If the wood has rotted, I assume any preservative treatment has "gone", but is it still toxic to insects? I asked my neighbour and he thinks it would be okay, but I am not sure. What is more toxic, leaving them to rot in situ, or taking them to the tip, where they are likely to go into an incinerator.

What does the panel think?
