Mundane News

[woodbutchmaster]

Another piece of useless information , the temperature here in darkest Occitane is currently 30.7 c There is very little breeze and the sky has ominously gone from pale blue to vision destroying white. Methinks some violent atmospheric action will ensue anon.

More importantly, it appears to have stopped raining.

Tea tonight, pork loins marinaded in sweet chilli sauce,oodles of noodles and baked Mediterranean vegetables, followed by canned peach slices and ice cream and a couple bacardi and cokes.

Other news, grandaughter got (gcse's) a 9 with a distinction, a 7 and all the rest were 8s, well done, without doubt, the cleverest girl we ever had in the family in my lifetime. Shes long since been mapping out her life, not bad for state schooling eh ?

I finally lost it this evening. Being a fan of Windows Explorer, I had begun to thoroughly resent Microsoft's continual barrage of exhortations to switch to Edge. No thanks.....bog off......I don't want it. I discovered the way to cast their pitiful offering into outer darkness. I suggest you do too.....

Everything is ready for a race trip to Northern Ireland, leaving tomorrow. Paperwork done, son fed for now, bags packed. Now we've got to get through all the checks, into Ireland and up to test-ride the course for the 132km John Beggs Memorial race with the Elite men. With an extra 35km lap added late yesterday it'll be a stupidly long, tough and hilly race: if he finishes as a 1st year Junior it'll be an achievement.

Oh, and entries are still open for any CC'ers in NI

I use Chrome chiefly, which I run with an ad-blocker, and I don't get those pop ups. I've just checked my notifications settings and I haven't unchecked the tips box. There again, I haven't needed to. So I'm confused but I'm not complaining.

You were lucky. I was getting messages about the virtues of Edge pretty much every time I changed websites. It got to be extremely annoying.

Sailing from Liverpool or Holyhead?

We've just seen a Bat flying around outside .

Sailing from Liverpool or Holyhead?

Holyhead to Dublin tomorrow morning, giving him time to test-ride the course and decide whether it's the aero race bike or his training bike that'd be the best given the route. And of course a decent meal booked the night before.

Have fun with the PLF, if the ferries are still using them. Don't forget your duty free!
