Mundane News

The ground is now soft enough to remove the weeds but still too hard to hoe properly.

Evening. It is getting a bit cold out there.
I have just come back from an interesting cycle ride with my friends. It started out well until they decided to cycle along the cycle track to Calne. It follows the line of the old railway line and I think that a lot of the ballast from the track is re surfacing. It has become very bumpy. I tried to avoid the really bad areas by cycling on the grass. The vibration had a bad effect on my saddle as the clamp bolt started to loosen. Having no tools with us we shortened our ride but stopped off at a pub for a shandy and crisps. We sat out in the beer garden chatting and admiring the view of Cherhill and surrounding hills lit by the low sun.
We set off back towards home facing into a beautiful red setting sun.
The handling on my bike was becoming decidedly odd! Not only was it tipping up and down but it was now starting to rotate and felt like I had rear wheel steering. The saddle remained in place until we got back to my car but had become extremely floppy. We cycled 8 miles in total.

I picked the last 2 apples from our tree today and made Apple and cinnamon scones.
First attempt , and they were good.

Had a plate of home made chicken and vegetable chow mein.

Just the ticket after an evening pootling around Tescos. Loads of stuff to be had, but not a lot of any great interest. Was mainly ready meals, bagged salads and burger buns. Still found enough bits to top up the fridge satisfactorily though.

Will get changed into my onesie shortly and relax for the remainder of the evening.

Objection: This is NOT mundane.

Thank you.
Sal Corso was a entrepreneur who brought Atala and the such like bikes into the States in the 70's, I'm told.

I read that the sea temperature north of Falmouth is about 16C, a whopping 2 degrees warmer than in was in June. Apparently, you only feel cold until your skin temperature drops to that of the surrounding water. After that, it feels quite warm, and it does wonders for your sense of general wellbeing.

They say.

I started digging some weedy ground yesterday, still very dry and hard.
Be a while yet..

Proud dad moment. My son has just set off with some other swots to look around Oxford University. Funny, they never invited me to do the same!

Schrodie was just showing me that you don't need fancy computer games to have fun, as he chased a runner bean around the kitchen. You just need imagination !
