Overslept and got pounced on by Tinybug, who it turns out isn't as tiny as all that when she lands on you first thing in the morning.

That was an interesting end to the ride today.

On my way out, sunny, hot, clear skies. All good.

However, I hadn't noticed the dark storm clouds gathering behind me. Saw them on the way home, getting bigger and darker. Just made it into the apartment block when there was an almighty flash and a loud rumble of thunder.

Friend had this, he was really concerned and phoned asking what he should do. I’ve told him countless times that these type of email are invariably scams but he still panics.

It's a shame that you can't divert these scams towards the scammers so that they start to worry .

Watching through the kitchen window as the sun starts to set.

I don't remember that option on Play School !

usually watch JAWS at the start of the summer

Do you enjoy going to the seaside ?

Must get myself out too while it’s quiet. The cycling mojo has been sadly lacking so it won’t be far.

Anything is better than none

Morning.
Ah! It is sunny . There must have been a cloud blocking the sunshine .
I went for my first test ride of my Viking Conquest yesterday afternoon . I spent the morning finishing off things and searching for some brake blocks . The first mile or so I was a bit wary of every click and clatter but I soon settled down to my ride . I took it easy for once . I seem to have lost that just pottering about looking over hedgerows and looking at the wildlife type of riding . I haven't even done the "I wonder how far I can freewheel? " for a while now.
Back to the ride . It went well . I did 12 miles in all . I stopped off at my brother's before returning . Everything worked , there is a lot of travel on the gear lever from top gear to first, 180 degrees! The gearing is a bit on the high side compared with my other bikes .

There was a scare story in some newsrag recently telling people not to go into the water and had a picture of a shark fins on the sea surface to prove the point. Picture was clearly a basking shark with the characteristic two fins showing. Plankton feeder and harmless to humans.

Dry and little wind but no sunshine so far.
Off on my shopping expedition soon and hope to get some decent cycling on quiet roads and a cycle path.

Back home now with 33 miles under the belt
Clear blue skies with a chilly edge earlier
Garden birds have been fed
First cuppa going down well

Not long back too. 29 miles for me but they were hard going as I've been doing so little cycling lately. At least I got peaceful roads. Sunday morning is the only time you get little traffic.

I love a walk on an eerie foggy morning

 

[Hebe]

I love that one through the spider web, @tyred

it is beautiful here this morning. I’m going on a proper walk, aiming to take in two cafes and two new veloviewer squares.
