Knackered. Couldn't be bothered to cook supper, so stopped off at the village chippy on the way home.

A large bag of chips later and I feel a lot better.

Morning ! It looks like it is going to be another hot day .

I saw the little Hedgehog in the back garden last night . I think it realized we were watching and scooted off for cover .

 

[Lullabelle]

Plans for today: grocery shop and watch The Tour.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Off out on the mtb at ten..its going to be a warm one.

I've heard that one of the train operators is bringing out a new timetable .

So as not to disappoint rail passengers I Wonder if they will be starting with a blank sheet ?

47 years ago, we started out with new timetable on Amtrak, well most people did, our local passenger service was Rock Island, and they carried on until 1980. I think Southern Railway and Rio Grande did as well, claiming they offered better service than Amtrak. Rock Island claimed they could't afford to join Amtrak.

Was rather convenient to have one schedule, instead of several, go to cross country.

If only we could do that in the UK and then call it something like oh I dunno............................. 'British Rail' comes to mind.

Excitable spaniel had a good morning, got to play with an equally excitable alsatian puppy, then had a refreshing dip in the brook that runs through the park... then came home for his sausage and bacon.

He is now having a snooze

I think it's Flying Ant day!

I had a great time supporting our club members at the Bolton Ironman. My hands are sore from clapping everyone who went past! I also waved, screamed, clapped, shouted, danced and ran but that was just for our lot. They're all mad!!

 

[Reynard]

Slept in after yesterday.

Had brekkie while watching that manic stage in the TdF. Dunno what's so special about that pave - the roads around here are just as lumpy, narrow and dusty. Guess it's cos we're not in France...

Grabbed a late lunch and now sitting watching the world cup final.

Blimey, you do Ironman differently up there. Where did you place?
