Very possibly true that as it's not Weetabix
Looks a bit misty and damp underfoot.
I wonder what today's news will be about?

Still lurgy free, so that means I can go on a weekend away with the lads - bikes and beers. A MTB jaunt round the Clwydian Range - Moel Arthur/Moel Famau (Cross country) and Sunday to Llandegla Forest (Trail Centre). Looking forward to sleeping in a bed as I've spend the last five nights isolation on the settee.

Dull but dry day and we seem to have escaped the high winds which were forecast.
Ferry bookings for the winter timetable open today.
Chaos on line and phones will be jammed so not going anywhere near that scenario and will get the local office in person on Monday if my covid has cleared up by then.
There are 2 timetables out, one of which is by the Ferry Committee highlighting various sailings. The reason is that 15 minutes has been allowed to get from ferry to railway station in Oban for a connecting train. Advice is if not going for a train to stand at the back of the queue to disembark or risk getting tramped to death in the rush.
A motor vehicle is not practical but there used to be a rickshaw which would work.
Not seen it for a year or so tho'.

Sunshine in Manchester. Predicted rain in the Clywdians overnight but sunny and 17c for Saturday - which will be good for an exposed hill ride. Rain again and possibly wet Sunday, but we're in a forest !
Every day is a learning day. I've just read that scientists have used new imaging techniques to recover lost text from a document that showed part of Greek scholar Hipparchus star catalogue from between 162 - 127 BCE. One comment caught my attention:
" Even in the Bronze age, Myceanean Greeks were sailing all over the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The whole point of the Trojan War was because Priam effectively cut access to the Black Sea. In the Greek dark ages, 1100BC to 700 BC the Greeks built colonies from Crimea to Spain. Pytheas, somewhere around 320 BC, sailed around Britain, got far enough north to see drift ice and sailed in the Baltic."
