Nearly every single day I get emails from Trespass offering me 50% of this and 65% of something else. I'm amazed that they don't go bankrupt by giving their stock away at such low prices....

A brisk NW wind so a bit colder today and not raining just now bit looks a bit ominous outside.

There's some signs of blue sky. The forecast is good for later. I'm trying to decide if I should trust the weather forecast and put on a washing.

I might pop out for a pedal soon.

Slightly greyer and windier this morning - I'll let you decide if that refers to the weather or me.

Today's efforts total about 20 minutes of weeding the front border, 10 minutes of chatting with my neighbour,10 minutes on the phone with my mum and the rest of the morning has been spent looking at options for a 🍻 & 🚂 type lunch outing on Friday as long as the weather holds out.

Did you pass? Hope you feel better soon.

Note to self: make your you have the right components AND you haven't lost any before beginning a bike upgrade . I thought I'd put shifters, brakeset, front and rear derailleur plus new cable set together so I was all ready a couple of weeks ago.

And if anyone's seen a missing Dura-Ace 9000 front brake, plus the braze-on Dura-Ace 9000 front derailleur rather than the band-on one that's in the box, can they please tell me

There'll be a posting on the 'fettling' thread when it's all done. IF it's all done. I've until Saturday evening to sort it ...

Utterly excellent bicycle morning. My skills at simultaneously pedalling, signalling and holding my line are vastly improved, and I know what to do to improve further. We're going to do a longer cafe ride next week, and I'm hoping for another session involving right turns on more congested town centre roads after that. Bikeability tutors are real life superheroes 😎

Brilliant @Hebe - keep going and hopefully it'll continue getting better.

It was 1 whole degree C cooler today so ouy July heat record was not broken for the 4th day in a row.

Back at work today and I had to deal with the new kiddies coming to the school in September. Sadly, I won't see them as I'll be elsewhere.

Been to the dentist. That's it.

Cool, grey and blustery here chez Casa Reynard. OK, when I say cool, it's shorts and t-shirt territory, but I *am* wearing socks! It just feels cool compared to last week.

Slept well despite the gathering tide of tapdancing heffalumps. Well, I overslept, but hey ho. I've done some gentle puttering about this morning, which included giving the tomato plants their weekly dose of liquid feed and prepping some strawberries to make jam. The kilo tray I bought last week in Tesco weren't up to snuff for eating as is (too sharp to be enjoyable) and I didn't want to waste them. I will probably have a couple of jars.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.
