Is that you Londo?
I’m quite fond of the Infinity IPA too. Which reminds me, I need to check that I have a couple in the fridge to go with fish and chips later.
12 mile walk with friends this morning in some absolutely beautiful countryside and weather. I took my veloviewer tile count into triple figures.

Nice trike run this morning before traffic got too bad but rather chilly so had bikesters full finger gloves and winter base layers.
Mostly sunny day with a NW wind to keep the midges down at Bunessan Show.
Most of the shows have some idiosyncratic feature. Bunessan the spectator parking was a nightmare if wet.
Dalmally was a low lying field next to the R. Orchy so it tended to flood. They had laid an escape route paved with old railway sleepers. When I was heading out I discovered they were in fact floating and the only way was to keep the revs well up and pray as the water was up to my rear hubs and the exhaust was submerged. (T2 VW)
Lochaline my wife went off to the toilets and came back for welly boots as she said it was a self emptying elsan --- over the top
.
Kilchoan we were invited to attend but some locals had objections to people from Mull and one parked his motorbike in our stand when we were not looking. I complained to the organiser who had invited us and soon heard loud threats of physical violence if he did not remove it immediately. It was removed with ill grace.
Next week is Salen show for the north of the island on a field too small for present day needs and the exit for exhibitors vehicles turns into a quagmire which requires very delicate throttle control to negotiate. There is a tendency for people to park on the nearby roadside which causes chaos for non show traffic on the main road.
Happy days.

Errands erranded (sort of) and groceries acquired (ouch!).
Everything's gone up in Tesco *again* in just the week since I've been in there last. Seriously, it's bonkers...
It's not just 5p here and 5p there, some things have nearly doubled in price... 
I did get lettuce, strawberries, pears, mushrooms and teacakes on yellow sticker though.
Wilkinsons were out of stock on everything I wanted except for a new pair of secateurs - and those were the last ones in the shop...
Sports Direct yielded two new sports bras as I've had a couple that have lost their comfort factor after the parental unit accidentally put them in a boil wash. The white ones I wanted were out of stock in my size, so had to buy a black one and a grey one instead. Admittedly SD aren't my first choice of retailer, but they do sell a comfortable racer back bra (Lonsdale) at a reasonable price. And since bras are very much like saddles, you've just got to get what works.
Am listening to Crystal Palace v Arsenal now, while eating some sausage rolls and a salad.

They have a “Train” jar: similar to a swear box, if you call something a train when it’s just an engine, carriage, wagon etc. Kerching! one pound.
