Two walks to the shops, and one drive, today!
Firstly, with MrsPete, 3½ miles, from the car, into town and back.
Then, just under 5 miles walk to the charity shop and tesco at lunchtime for a rucksack of goodies.
Then, a phone call from daughter saying granddaughters homework has been changed from a vegetarian risotto to a chicken stir fry.. just after she'd bought the rice etc.
That was time for me to spring into action, and the car, (I don't leave my bikes by Tesco as I'd likely have to walk home!) to get the relevant ingredients to drop into her.

8¾ miles walked, 7¾ miles driven 🤗

Panic over and time for some 🍵

Lovely supper of fish, triple-cooked chips and steamed broccoli, followed by apple crumble and custard.

I bought the fish on YS labelled as plaice on Saturday night, but while it was a flatfish, it sure as hell wasn't plaice. Given how thick the fillets were, I'm banking on brill. Either way, it was lush, done in a parcel with butter, capers and tarragon.

Today was my last day off work, with 10 straight days of being a wage slave to follow. It was summed up by constant rain from around 10am until after dark. I think there's only been one or two completely dry days in the 13 days I've had off. About the only things I've done today were washed the cycling kit, popped into town for some food and had bacon rolls for tea.

Useless information: It's my dad's 80th birthday on Wednesday. I have remembered the card.

There's an art to shaping a pretzel, you know...

Have spent the evening pottering around with my archive. This includes mounting and labeling the photo that I repatriated from Austria. Goodness knows how the blazes it ended up there, as it was a photo taken specifically for publication in a book (Racers Apart by David Tremayne) and was never available for general sale.

Needless to say, I have the book, which I bought shortly after it was published back in 1991.

Anyways, I'm off to bed. Nunnight one and all xxx

Venus very bright next to a crescent moon in the east this morning.

It kept me company on my 12 miles earlier tad chilly but it will be colder in a few weeks.

Good morning. I'm not sure what the weather is today because the fog has climbed out of the valley and is obscuring everything.

Black bin day, today. It's already ready at the end of the drive.
