Cavalier Prince Charles Spaniel?

Actually, a friend of mine has about a dozen cats - and a miniature schnauzer. Who thinks she is a cat.

Actually, Izzy is a darling wee doggy who is as mad as a box of frogs, and who I swear is made of rubber and duracell batteries... Mind, Izzy loves her Auntie Reynard, who is a purveyor of dog treats and squeaky toys.

My, the blackbirds are all singing away in the rain!

The one we may end up with is one of these, not sure if it fits with my south mancland hard man image though

Is that a St. Bernard ?

Isn't it dark !

I just had another thought ! We have an exercise bike and riding it isn't the most inspiring thing . I soon get bored !

Then I thought ! If I was to play my recent recording of my cycle ride with my new camera, I could play it back whilst pedaling and match it with what I was seeing and hearing and so feel a bit more involved in what I was doing .

Now there's a thought! Only trouble is I can only manage 10 minutes on the turbo at a time.

Isn't it dark !

Yes.

I have just discovered that I must have done more pedalling yesterday during my stint on the exercise bike than I would normally have done whilst cycling.
My legs just let me know as I went up stairs a few minutes ago. The fact that whilst I'm out on my bike I do a fair bit of freewheeling this cannot be done on the exercise machine as it is a fixed wheel !
So my idea yesterday worked, but perhaps a bit too well !

It ain't half murky here. And soggy.

Seems to have finally stopped but plans have had to be changed as everything is just so sopping wet. Hopefully things will have dried up a bit by tomorrow.

My alarm clock is faulty. It woke me up at 2am, and then at 5am.

The first time by lying on my neck and shoulders, and the second time by purring loudly in my ear.

 

[Illaveago]

My wheels have arrived and I'm about to open them !

My wheels have arrived and I'm about to open them !

My spokes and rims are absolutely filthy. No sense cleaning them till there's a dry period, though.

It's hungry, that's why.

Unless it's a tortie, in which case it's all in perfect tortie working order

 

[Reynard]

Change its battery?

One of the things that tell me the ride I've just done was harder than normal, I'm fine walking upstairs but most uncomfortable walking down.

I spent an hour this morning standing in my underpants, being ogled by a young lady...

Poor woman, and there's me thinking my job was bad
