Mundane News

[cookiemonster]

The postie brought me some new cycling gear today.

Much needed.

The council have announced yet more roadworks.

I know it needs to be done but is a smart move to be working on every access road to the town at the same time.

i would like to report something positive in the mundane news section.My Covid test this morning.its just like a really heavy cold.

I hope you feel better very soon. Wretched virus still seems to be everywhere.
I met a friend at Avebury to catch up and take some photographs. Good - I saw a baby hedgehog snuffling along through the Holly hock and teasel stems. Less good - I lost the original lens cap for my Minolta SR7.

Taking Wifey for a colonoscopy. fun times. we'd rather be at the beach like earlier in the week

You old charmer, you!

(Been there, got the T shirt btw - best of luck, hope all's well and you'll both be back surfside shortly)

I have arrived. No traffic delays, and not much to unpack.

Fresh scones with butter, watching the Tdf.

And I've just got back from dropping someone off at the airport and I'm now also watching the TdF. But yesterday's because I missed the young lad from Leeds, Tom Pidcock, displaying insane descending skills, and winning on l'alpe d'Huez for Bastille day.

Time to wobble off to the train station - 50 rather warm miles, lunch & 3 pints of Brewdog has been the best reply to the week I've had

Had two slices of wholemeal toast, one with luncheon meat, the other with a very fine, ripe brie, plus a pear, a tangerine and two

But aren't coypu more common in your area?

None in this region - apparently eradicated in 1989 after escaping from fur farms.

And in any case, neither of the girls has ever dragged one in...

Got the weather all wrong today as it started cold and wettish but then turned really hot. Apart from household chores sat in the sun in my top garden trying to get a photo of bees on my wild flowers. Frustrating.
Parking here can be a problem and not helped by two touroid cars dumped while the occupants vanish somewhere. I can see at least one neighbour in a temper not able to park near her house. I hope she gets to have a word or two or even three with them.

So now I’ve finished assembling it, mixture of bits I had lying about, some NOS and brand new bits like the chain. Most expensive single spend? The spokes. Though that may change if I decide I like him enough to give him a respray.

Spokes, you should have asked someone on here. They've more than they can shake a stick at.

Although might include postage from Germany...

And sending "mend quickly" vibes to @postman

I like Team Bike Exchange colour scheme .

Starting to feel a bit sleepy. Thankfully the train terminates at Ipswich where I need to change to the Felixstowe branch.

The sun has finally come out here. I have drawn the curtains upstairs.

Am watching the TdF
