Much excitement; the replacement for the replacement* Brooks saddle has arrived and has been attached to the touring bike with due ceremony and playing of the anthem.

*Yup, you did read that right...

News from Oxfordshire; 'Curious' cow gets head stuck in tree.

'Curious' may be an unintentional bon mot. I'm not the world's leading expert on bovine anatomy, but that undercarriage doesn't look to me like that of a cow. I call fake news, nay, I'll go further and call bullock's.

T'ain't a bullock, t'is a cow.

With it's own YouTube channel.

I'm hoping that's the end of the Saga, but I'll know in a couple of hundred K's...

It's a moot point, really...

Would it not be easier to tan yer backside.

Try it, then let the rest of us know. If it works you could make a fortune.

I've been out on my bike and went over to Lacock to see my brother . It is quite warm out and I may have ruined my carefully controlled diet by swallowing a few flying insects.
I did 11.8 miles .

Late bin news..
MrsPete and I were away yesterday, so we had to put the recycling bin out earlier than usual.
Our neighbours put it back for us as we didn't get back until quite late.

Any idea what you swallowed?

Those Wicked Kitchen vegan chorizo-style sausages were actually really rather nice. Nothing like a proper sausage, but eminently edible nonetheless. Wouldn't pay full whack for them, but on sticker, wouldn't hesitate to have them again.

They went down a treat with chips, sliced tomatoes and chicory salad.

Iceland briefly did a very good English-style chorizo sausage but it must have had too much flavour in it for Iceland shoppers because it disappeared without trace.

More than likely. Mum and I always say that stuff is made for Mr & Mrs Average, as we find a lot of prepared stuff too bland. These ones were good because they were really well seasoned, but then the Wicked Kitchen stuff does tend towards the spicy.

No . Didn't taste of chicken. Probably a flying ant as there seemed to be a few about . Can't recommend harvesting them as a cheap alternative to normal food .
