I have celebrated the warm weather by getting the clippers out and giving myself a haircut. Having looked at the weather forecast for the coming weekend, this may have been a mistake.

there's always fancy hats ...

Popped to decathlon for some new bib shorts - the pad is wearing out on my others.

Do you sometimes wake up thinking. "Where am I ? "
Then you need memory foam !
Remember where you are with memory foam !

I thought it was for people who forget to shave.

Owwwwwwwwwwwww, my poor ischial tuberosities...

Anyways, time for a nice and a packet of crisps.

Is that that twiggy perfumed tea? 🤔
I can't stand that stuff!

That's Lapsang Souchong.

My dad used to like it. Me? I couldn't get the appeal of tea that tasted like the bottom of dad's ashtray...

Ouch, that sounds like new saddle time. It's a shame that SMP saddles don't work for you. They're a devil to get at the right angle for you too. I assume you've already gone out with a hex key and tried out the various states of discomfort.

We are all rooting for you to keep us fed.

Yeah, did all the various states of discomfort thing in the autumn back when I built the bike. The SMP saddles are just a bit too wide and just a bit too padded. And I'm not a fan of the nose either, although my lady bits are quite happy thanks to the cut out, I must say.

Am going to bite the bullet and import a Charge Ladle from the US via the Bay of E.

There's a reason why I have one on my road bike and one on my hybrid.

There is a Wagtail walking on my barn roof.

Indeed it's an odd tea but no more odd than a dog that resembles a fur hand muff.

I was at Decathlon on Monday buying cartridges and a sigg bottle ripoff in grey to match my touring bike.

Crowd are a bit more lively tonight on the footy qualifier. Sound engineer must be in a good mood. He or she even managed to put some moderate booing in when the game went on while a Poland player was writhing about on the pitch.
I would not last a match in that job, the temptation to slip a few seconds of Nuremberg rally sieg heiling in just to see if the viewers were paying attention would be too great for me.
Maybe some vuvuzeler sounds would not result in a sacking.
Sectarian chanting is probably definitely a sacking offence. I'd love to know what the production editor agrees on pre match regarding dubbing for a very quiet stadium.

There's a great tit somewhere outside that's repeatedly singing the opening phrase of a Mozart piece but I can't remember which one. A symphony, I think.

Got it! Symphony No. 40. Imagine the repeated opening phrase again and again...

Probably from a ringtone.

Feeling shattered, haven driven to Stratford and back. Lorries were not being gentlemen in the roadworks (where nothing was being done). There was a cyclist having a break in Stratford, with whom I discussed the weather.
