I’m sat in the car in a car park as I’m not allowed to drive home until I’ve sat for 15 minutes as I have had The Jab (1st dose).

I had to do that as well. Next time I'll be using the bike.

On a TT note Connor Swift didn't pass me, although the Team GB riders and several others did. Slow 25 but a new PB by 10 or so seconds

Filled all the wood bins in the house as the weather for the next few days isn't looking terribly promising.

I now have the I was intending to make earlier. And a couple of milk chocolate suggestives.

Indeed, I lit the wood stove today, after thinking I wouldn't need it for a while.

Still, it got rid of some of the scrap paper that was cluttering the place up...

Wise decision. By the time you bimble back to your bike, sort out your gubbins and unlock the thing from whatever you've locked it to, that's pretty well much 15 minutes.

And well done on the new PB

And it makes the place a lot more cosy and cheery

I'm back too.

She came from her riding lesson so it's out of one saddle and onto another.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Tin of Gourmet Gold for the girls, a bitsas for me. There's some tartiflette left, plus some fish pie and some roasted veggies.

That's one happy looking girl 🙂

Now that's actually really rather nice. Lucky girl!

I do like the colour, but then one of my favourite racing cars (Leyton House LH90B) was that colour. OK, it was a total dog of a car, but that's a moot point

It is Arbor Day here.

Speaking of arbors, I've built my log store. The instructions said nails, but I find screws more satisfying so I went with those. It is now part populated & I will continue to fill it over the summer months.

Lotus Biscoff Cookies can be enjoyed by themselves or paired with a cup of coffee, and they've been Europe's favorite cookie with coffee since 1932. I am distraught , l had not been aware of this....my life is incomplete .......?

I think they're over rated.

Why do B&B and hotel owners always provide Lotus Biscoff in their rooms?

Why not some other biscuit?

I've wondered that as well. Are they cheap or summat?

Presumably because it's Europe's favourite biscuit with coffee.

Or is it because "B&B and hotel owners always provide Lotus Biscoff in their rooms"?

My 4.45am start and a 100 mile ride today gave me an obscene appetite.

After 300g spaghetti and pesto, chips and chocolate cake for lunch when I got back and 4x jacket potatoes, cheese and beans and a Double Decker for tea, not sure I'm running a calorie deficit today

Maybe I didn't fuel well enough on the ride, but 2x cereal bars, cheese roll, bag of crisps and 2x bananas seems reasonable?

 

[Reynard]

I make my own. Lotus Biscoff aka speculoos.

Ridiculously easy to make, and I can guarantee you'll never want a bought one again.

Just done 27 miles on the road bike in North Wales near Dyserth. The route had to be cut short as a bridge over the River Clwyd was closed. By closed, I mean gone, and no other way over other than routing back to Rhuddlan avoiding the A55. I didn't fancy a swim as it was a bit chilly.

Is that the one closed till December 2022 (according to Google maps)?

Lakeside.😾

Never actually been there, it was built after I left the area.
