Late breakfast while watching the world go by before a little coastal ride on the Brompton. Not bad but I'll mark it down for lack of black pudding and why do cafes put beans in a stupid little dish instead of just putting them on the plate? View attachment 598100

They make the toast soggy.

Oh yes I remember dial up but only at work

We had banks of 300baud & 1200/75 modems. Sometimes one would stick & you'd need to plug in a handset & whistle to it.

I have to transport an insulated picnic box to my daughters on my bike rack..
The frozen block thingies should make a lovely noise 😂

GEM Desktop, here 😂

On an Amstrad? My 1640 only had black & white, but I discovered how they got colour I used the method used with GEM & adapted it for other DOS programmes. Had a hard card with heat problems too.

So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation of John 3:15-16 [ESV2011]ur with GEM & adapted it for other DOS programmes. Had a hard card with heat problems too.

Yep, Amstrad 1640 here, too.. 👍

Dull and grey with light rain in North Wales. Don't think I'll be finishing the painting of the caravan fence. Need to goto 'The Range' in Rhyl with my daughter to buy more acrylic paints. They are selling loads off for £1.25 rather than £2 a pot. Bought her about £30 worth last week.

Sat in a cafe in Holmfirth again, but a different café. It's wet.

Oh, and mundane to everyone but me - I have gained my Cat 3 race licence. That may not be sensible.

Lovely sunny day again with little SW wind.
Out on trike at just after 8 o'clock and what a difference from yesterday. Nice peaceful run and even turned round and did a repeat of the nicest bits to get some miles in. Mostly local traffic and much more courteous than yesterday's plonkers. A few local lycra boys flew by and all shouted greetings to the old codger.
By the time I came back tho' I think traffic was hotting up and no parking places on the Main St.. Probably a lot of locals will be heading for the west coast beaches so these must be all tourist and some obviously are as they have parked motorhomes where clearly street parking for them is forbidden.
On a more sombre note there is a large increase of covid numbers on the island and some businesses have had to close to isolate. Nobody seems to comprehend that a vast influx of people from areas with high covid numbers must have an influence on this.
Until the hordes arrived we had very few cases.

Rhyl is gradually losing their shops.

Wrong time of year to catch it. I doubt their figures.
