I don't "do" strava, so can't see your route... So exactly where did you go?

But yeah, tell me about the road surfaces. S'not surprising I came a cropper a while back. And it's also why I'm looking for a hardtail MTB as an N+1

Stopped by the local cheese place this morning and got some bacon. The main business is a dairy farm but all the milk is used for cheese and they have pigs as a sideline.
So fried bacon for lunch with none of that horrible white gunk you get in the supermarket stuff. Costs a bit more but supports local jobs and certainly tastes much better. Trouble is you have to keep an eye out for when the cold shelf is restocked and get there PDQ or it is all gone.

I had some supermarket bacon a few weeks ago, it was sliced so thin I could almost see through it, not a patch on our butchers bacon.

Yes. I did mean Main Drove. Although nothing ‘Main’ about it as far as road surface is concerned.

Good Cathedral knowledge - for an engineer.

Ely is very pretty, to my eye. I have family connections to St John on the Wall, down in Bristol, though, and Exeter. But I still think Ely is very elegant. I find the rood screen impressive, and the nave, octagon, and lantern are really spectacular.

BTW, Maximilian probably will survive his illness, so the vets say at this point. They conferred among themselves, and are referring the case to the University. With surgery, he will probably be okay.

The 66 plate truck I've been driving today now has 770,933 km (481,833 miles) on the odometer..

Still sitting out on the patio - it might be chilly, but maxing the use. Vino too. Looking at desk solutions for daughter's room with Mrs F via the internet on the laptop.

A bunch of about 6 girls are getting piddled on the field near our house, but so long as a few hundred ravers don't arrive, it's fine. They are loud and young, but sound like they are having fun - they need some down time. Can't hear the music much at all - small speakers.

Summer solstice at 22:43. Cloudy here and I,m locked in the spare bedroom anyway.

That burger and chips hit the spot.

Who needs McDonalds when you can have a McReynard

 

[Hover Fly]

You have burgers made from fox meat?

 

[Hover Fly]

One. Of the two young women who has just passed my house has, apparently, a boyfriend with “fingers like Richmond sausages”.

At least there ain't no potholes that you can disappear in to, or cracks in the road as wide as your arm... That's a pretty decent road if you ask me.

On the middle and left examples I'm not sure which end is the dangerous one...

Ah, those are the pistol grips on my foil and epee. The astute observer can figure out that I'm left handed.

It goes to a gas well. It's fairly bumpy gravel farther up. Most of my roads are oil and gravel in rural areas, asphalt and concrete in urban areas. A few dirt roads here and again.

I went for a ride after I was missed by a thunderstorm, which passed off to my east. After I returned home, a thunderstorm did not miss. Still pouring down, now.

I have made supper. Black pudding and tomato sandwich. Now I have to slide hover fly’s under the door to him.
