Well that was a windy ride. Headwind on way out, very sketchy sidewinds, especially next to the river Clywd, but 30 mph on the flat.

You could not make it up.
Calmac send a text that the lift on MV Isle of Mull is out of action again. A short time later they repeat this message and suggest anybody affected should use MV Loch Frisa. Five minutes later another text telling us MV Loch Frisa will be off for the rest of the day by the looks of it due to a "Technical Problem".
This means that if you are a wheelchair user you can only travel by Lochaline on which route the Corran ferry is broken down. Depending on your destination this means an extra mileage of about 40 miles or if going to Oban double that.

Pouring rain and high wind but tried for a walk and gave up after about 100 yards so back home where I seem to be targeted by all sorts of spammers, the latest being a whatsapp message from somebody not in my directory saying just "hello".
Block and dump.

35+ years of shift work & weekend working with rest days during the week is a good way to loose track of what day it is.

Fifty one years in my case, but the point is still the same. I still think it's important to have a pattern in your life , regardless of what others may feel.

I've a planned 100+ mile ride tomorrow.
To prepare I've just eaten most of a lasagne for 4 bought on yellow sticker from the Co-Op for £2.29.

I shall be going for a lie down shortly ...

Saw an interesting front page item on a newspaper today. The Lionesses have got through to the final, but there seems to be absolutely no hype at all about it.
Now, if it was the men's team......
Just sayin' - !

The wind finally seemed to ease as I headed to the nearest Lidl this evening on the ebike. Discovered it is now stocking the dark chocolate rice cakes I have been going to the one at Knaresborough for; if I had known that last week maybe I may have avoided the dreaching I got.

Good morning from a sunny but breezy Suffolk where a lie in just listening to the radio means that the first coffee of the day has only just been finished. There were a few rumbles of thunder to go with the very heavy rain last night and I suspect that some of the back roads I use will still be under water or be very muddy/sandy with field run off when I go out later.

I was right...

Another great early morning ride along the coast. The weather has been cooler for the past few weeks due to the daily (usually evening or night time) rain showers. When it rains, it literally pours - there's usually no option but to find shelter. But the showers rarely last too long, and the ominous dark stormclouds are soon replaced by streaky high-level cover, which partly masks the searing tropical sun.

Back to the UK next week - first to the 'other place' for a few meetings, before returning to Cambridge. I hope the weather's better by then; I'm looking forward to riding across the flat, endless Fenland landscapes again.

Ok, tomorrow duly arrived today and checked the forecast ....phew l think we get the general idea https://www.meteoblue.com/fr/meteo/semaine/goujounac_france_3015585

An early (for me) good morning from a sunny & warm Suffolk where the first cuppa of the day has just been started. Once that's done, all I've got to do is pack a few food bits, make a flask of coffee and then it's off to Silverstone.

Are they privately run ferries ?

Morning .
There is a lot of grey sky with a few light patches on the horizon. Doesn't look too promising!
