Could I produce nuclear fusion in our fan oven if I turned the thermostat up ?
I'd better not do it when my wife's cooking !

Fission chips for lunch?

Raining heavily here in West Yorkshire. Today's ride to get Turf zones has been swapped with a to-be-found Zwift event. I can't be bothered with being soaked and cold.

I stuck lights on and popped out for 23 miles early as I knew rain was forecast. Sure enough it has arrived.

Did Simon and Garfunkel do them for copyright infringement? Clear shades of ''Feeling Groovy'' (49th Bridge Street Song) in there.
(Looking at the dates, it came too late for me. I was already into girls and underage drinking....)

It was a little young for me, but my nephew thought it was great.

I'm waiting for my computer to finish Windows updates. Taking forever 😴

Rode the Knights Templar 100km audax yesterday. Over 100 riders and weather relatively benign with warmth from the sun.

I just writted a letter, with an envelope and everything.

Now going to cook some pasta; fire extinguisher at the ready.

Grim here. Wet and blowing a gale. May pop in the garage and do some tidying. Woken at 6am from the Nursing Home, MIL on way in to hospital as she's had a nose bleed all night - she suffers from them and add in wafarin, then it won't stop. No-one can visit as local hospital still has no accompanying adults unless a real need. Hopefully she'll be out today.

Chilly, grey and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

It is just starting to spit with rain in this corner of East Cambs. I am watching the curling (feck, it's addictive!) and tidying up the writing I did yesterday. Did not sleep well, so feeling a tad grumpy.

Last night I also catalogued and filed the Bay of E purchases that arrived.

The FF2000 programme had the results filled in, which rather conveniently plugged a gap in my data, the '88 Oulton Park Gold Cup programme established that the Camel press pack I had was produced for that particular meeting, and one of the photos in the press pack was used in the third of the programmes I bought - '88 Silverstone International Trophy. So all in all, a good result there.

Plus the issue of Short Circuit, while rather tatty, is actually quite rare. It has a report from a Superstox meeting at Aldershot that actually includes the date (that's like hen's teeth in issues of SC from that era), so I can now chase down the programme.

Had a nice walk around local nature reserve.
Keeps trying to rain but not really managed it yet for long .

Had a bitsas luncheon - the last of the curry, some roasties and a few random veg, plus two and half a mango.

It is now raining steadily here.

Am watching the Monobob - that actually looks like a lot of fun.

Yep. 75mph in a tin box what could go wrong! It does look good though.

Oh, and regarding on our Ely Cathedral vs Winchester Cathedral discussion...

There's some fabby pics of the lantern in there. And the medieval master carpenters were more skilled than was thought, as the lantern is actually a cantilever structure, and not the solid ended beams that everyone assumed.

I like motor racing, remember... This is a little bit more sane. Only a little, mind...
