I am back from a cycle ride over to Lacock . I thought that a ride might help me get over the shock of Judy Dench . The thought of her being accompanied by the sound of Cicadas brought back memories of the South of France. My ears still ring from that experience .

I love the sound of cicadas. I live near a large park here in Northern Hong Kong and I walk through the park going to work. The sound is amazing. Gets louder and louder then quietens down and then it starts again. Amazing sound.

I strimmed the grass at the allotment this morning. The grass had grown rather long. The strimmer packed up with three feet of tall grass to go until finished (a patch of grass three feet long, not that the grass was 3' tall (it was only 2' tall, so there...)).

I got nearly three inches of rain overnight.(2.95 inches). It rained so hard, it flattened Mrs. GA's impatiens flowers.

How much did the neighbours get?

First time I saw and used a strimmer, the grass being cut was higher than the fence.

About the same

They are neat, sort of a summer soundtrack

Me too, although I associate it with Japan. Beautiful Wife's family live a few hundred metres from a shrine and the cicadas in the trees kick off at about 0500.

My legs are still stinging from nettle rash two hours after my ride. Get stung every ride at the moment within 1/2 a mile from home as part of my route is over grown.

Might get arrested if I turn up with a big chopper as the track is overlooked by houses. Nettles it is.

They didn't arrest me, walking through Bradford, crossing from Forster Square to the Interchange.

Bit hard hide a scythe. Use a slasher instead, easier hide. Should you need to.

Nowhere to put the handcuffs.

It is 20 years this year since I was last in Bradford. To give you an idea, when I travelled there it was on a class 91/mk4 combo, pulled by a Class 31 because the wires were not up yet.

Check your pulse.

Hey don't say that! I have a fear of popping off in my flat and no one notices till the bluebottles start gathering!

Wires went up in the mid 80's!

I assume you went to Forster Square, Interchange still hasn't got them.

You'd think he'd allow you more than one pulse. Not much eating in only the one.

I was in FS in 1989 and there was a class 31 dragging the very shiny new class 91. We'd deliberately booked a ticket to FS to see it.

I think there were wires but for some reason no power.
