Still recovering from some thermonuclear jerk chicken I made earlier
I hope you remembered to put the bog roll in the freezer...

Nice run this morning but traffic getting to uncomfortable level on the way back. Idiots parking in passing places to scan for birds of prey they cannot see starting to cause problems for other drivers.
Lots of people out on bikes tho'. What looked like 3 generations all wearing club jerseys and obviously experienced cyclists in one group. Others looked to be on hired ebikes as they did not seem super confident and all had brand new yellow helmets. Good to see them out early on a Sunday morning as the more there are the better to keep motorists alert.
Internet must be slipping as DIL thinks I should get a super lightweight mobility scooter for trips by ferry for shopping. My initial reaction was horror but on reflection she does have a point and I have looked at some web sites. Not one single pop up advert to entice me has appeared yet.
I would prefer to take my trike over but to get to anywhere I want to go would entail a bit of pavement riding as traffic is manic at the best of times. Since the main bit of pavement I would use of about 100 yards is very near the police station I might be pushing my luck a bit. Another bit is on the main street and full of peds who would complain.
Back to the drawing board or nowadays should that be back to the internet?

Oooohhh "boys" toys? If @Reynard and I lived nearer, could we join in?
Got these shots in Lerwick where they have a vintage and steam rally ever second year.

Those are cool.
Am not a steam buff as such, but there is a functional elegance about the engineering.

I've bought an 80's Viking racing bike. It has a Reynolds 531 butted frame and comes equipped with Campagnolo gears , brakes and hubs. I haven't test ridden it yet as the rear wheel has a lot of play in it . The frame is 22inch and is scratched quite a bit .

We have been down to see Clevedon Pier. We haven't seen it before . We had a pub meal before going for a stroll along it .
I'm resting now .

Things were somewhat fuzzy this morning - I must look more carefully at the % value on the cans when buying unusual beers.
On the way to Ipswich to pick up some items I'd reserved, I wondered why people were sat out in deckchairs or camping chairs along Trimley high road - until the first participants in the Ipswich - Felixstowe classic vehicle run came through in the opposite direction. Not being on any of the popular social meejahs and with the council having removed the two useful public noticeboards in town, I had no knowledge that this was on today.

I am now watching the GTs at Brands Hatch on YouTube in the absence of any work to do.

There's been a Zorba-branded ladies cocktail watch up for grabs on the bay.
Every time I see it, I keep whistling the opening bars to Zorba the Greek...

I have one of those on my to-do list. Terrible paintwork. Seems to be what let them down.
