Back from a ride ahead of the forecast hail storm that Jorge is bringing. I rode through 24 floods and a few lanes were basically rivers for substantial sections. Never known it so flooded and we’re not known for floods round here. Only other cyclists I saw out were on mtn bikes. Glad I have robust tyres on the recumbent this time of year.

I’ve just been washing the car, it started to rain and hail while I was doing, but I carried on ‘cos the car couldn’t have got any wetter.

I have just had some soup, I am considering the matter of riding my bike to little Tesco for a bottle of milk.

Stand by.

Jorge is Spanish. Ellen and Francis will be along soon enough.

Spain has a different alphabet? 🤔

Bright sunshiny day here.

Who is to say Spain have had the same number of storms as us and are therefore on the same letter!

Blowing a hoolie here, but at least it is sunny.

I have finished the ink drawing for the painting I am working on.

Am now settled down with a and a plate of snacks and the Formula E from Marrakesh.

Off to Nottingham tomorrow and returning on Sunday, so will be traversing @Reynard territory, but don't worry, I've had the innoculations.

Oi!

Another school day on CC. We've been cooking them for the last couple of months instead of frying chips, and neither of us knew the proper name for them. They are delicious!

I do 'em cos they're less of a faff to cut.

I got wet on the ride out to the cafe, but it was a dry ride home

I thought I'd passed 1,000 miles this week but it much have been last week as just looked at my year summary of outdoor rides. I've reached 2020km after today's ride, which I thought was kind of appropriate for this year. What were the chances of being exactly on 2020!

I have about an hour's painting time before I have to pack up and think about toddling off to Tesco to do a spot of yellow stickering.

The painting on this piece is the easy bit, the ink drawing was a bit of a headache. But need to start by keeping the highlights on the car by covering them with masking fluid.
