Feeling a bit smug. I'm off for two weeks so planned a ride today. Woke early, raining. Held off and the wind dried the roads out by 11 (more coffee for me and a few jobs done). Check weather... 1pm rain coming in. Set off, with options for 20,25, 30 or 40 miles. Did 40, got home, jumped in shower, started hissing it down !

Georgie is a sleepy boy ! He came in about 2 hours ago and went to sleep on the settee . The damp weather has brought him inside whereas we hardly saw him during the hot weather .

1. Georgie is a cat.
2. No point being rueful because you have a roof.

There are raindrops on the front windows but it's not raining in the back garden. My house isn't that big!

Another successful day of mostly sitting around with a brief bit of exercise in the middle.
The sitting around bit was catching up with the news while having a morning coffee & breakfast and watching the countryside go by from my train seats. The brief bit of exercise was a fast stroll from Cambridge train station to Decathlon in the Grafton Centre and back to the train station in under an hour to collect my new bike wheels

Going back to work tomorrow and actually having to do something is going to be a bit of a shock.

My phone has finally decided to come back into this time zone ! My wife found it in our car's glove box . It wasn't there the other day .

I don't why we bothered really . It is bl**dy useless!
What does NFC mean? I have my own meaning and it applies to my phone !

Near Field Connectivity, wireless charging and a whole lot more.

Blame Nikola Tesla, he had it working over a hundred years ago, transmitting electric with no wires.

Our tent has arrived, so I have to go and put it up in the living room or Tinybug may explode with excitement.

I've managed to erect an 11 man Icelandic tent in the front room. Your tent should be a bit easier

Just finished turning sheets of A3 card into sheets of A4 card.

Today has been spent with son no. 2 getting all the items he needs for university. We went to Matalan (duvet, pillows, a couple of other items but disappointing overall), Wilkinson's (a couple of items but disappointing), Dunelm (bedding, towels, crockery, cooking stuff, cushions, lots of other items and was very useful), a second Wilkinson's (a lamp we'd seen) plus a couple of items online (pans, rucksack).

He went mid-range price-wise rather than extreme student budget or expensive and seemed to enjoy it all. Maybe it was because I was paying?

All done in a day, which makes life easier as I'm back to work soon.
