What a nice day. Had a lie in till around 9am. Nice easy morning, then a circa 10 mile ebike ride into the countryside with my wife after lunch...popped Into mums (89) , home, then over to a fishing lake near Whittlesea to spend a couple of hours with our son and his partner watching them pull several around 5 to 10lb carp from the water.
His partner took the biggest after quite a battle...which of course made her day.

How can you have several hours fun for £15 nowadays ?...I might even try fishing again for the first time in decades.

Misread that last piece and started wondering.

Sorry, the film didn't post for some reason.

I love this film.

I do too, although the cameramen seem to be stalking the girl with the curly hair.

I'm looking at a reel right now, actually. Shimano, of course. I still have one of those pocket fishermen from the 70's for bike touring.

Done the stuff that needed to be done this morning. Included nipping to St Etheldreda's to get my swieconka done.

Now about to have lunch.

Will go yellow stickering this evening.

So what was blessed at Swieconka?

But too windy to ride, 35 mph +

An old hardtail, a Giant Yukon, may have followed me home from the co-op. My first MTB I plan to leave that way.

One downside of this dry (at least in this part of Suffolk) spell is that on my way home from Ipswich as part of my extended commute, I noticed that one of the farms has already resorted to using a water gun system to irrigate the field. Normally don't see these in use until much later in the year.

Think of the tailwind!

This... Sausage, cheese, home made 3-grain bread, home made sugar lamb, butter, salt and a home made babka.

And for the rest of us?

What's stopping you all from joining me for brunch tomorrow then?

Fair enough. Time?

 

[Reynard]

Fair enough. Time?

About 11-ish.

Can't guarantee to have gotten out of my onesie, however...
