Quite a warm 4 miles walked with 🐶, then 3 and a bit ridden down to the local McGanns to get a new inner tube for Granddaughter's bike.

I might have a snooze now.

Had a letter today from my GP surgery inviting me to take part in the Active Brains Study; a five year survey run by the University of Southampton.
Logged in on the website, filled in the basic questionnaire and was informed that I'm not a suitable candidate because I'm too active - !
Heyho - !

Returned from work. Realised that tomorrow I have to go to a first aid course about 15k to the north.

Poo.

I would like to commend my local Ama zon courier for attempting to deliver my package to the local Post Office counter when they're closed for lunch..
Top job!

Do you have the sandals and robes that go with that?

I read that the BBC is sending 1,000 staff to Glastonbury to cover the festival.
Some might say that's a tad excessive..

Luckily, I don't have a BBC so it doesn't affect me.

I've decided to eat chips tonight.

upon further investigation

I opened the PKG before leaving for work & that's what I thought it was
after more digging, including asking wifey to send me photos of the labels & paperwork in the PKG
it is likely an equestrien saddle cover

bought on amazon, but there was a 3rd party seller, possibly 2 & yet another company responsible for distribution
all of which, I think, led to the confusion, when someone had to pull something off a shelf

or what I ordered, is what I got ???
Amazon product ASIN B002HVM7XSView: https://www.amazon.com/Centaur-Lycra-Saddle-Cover-Color/dp/B002HVM7XS?th=1


here's hoping I can return it & get what I wanted. giddy up y'all!

And those nasty A1 roadworks (Wentbridge Viaduct - single lane in each direction) avoided again this afternoon northbound. A638 "Wakefield" from jn 38, A6201*, A639 to East Hardwick then to Darrington and a free flowing A1.

* Had meant to use the B6464 to flip from the A638 to the A639 so went around two sides of a triangle but did miss out the villages the B road passes through. Lots of others doing the same but then taking the B6464 to Wentbridge to rejoin the A1 there. Noticed a long queue of such traffic at the T junction in Wentbridge this morning so opted for the not that wide in places lane from East Hardwick.
Torrential downpour around Bramham on the A1(M) 30 mph to a full stop visibility.
