Back home
First cuppa brewing
Chilly 30 miles and it felt like a headwind all the way around.

Slightly hazy sunshine and no wind so looks like a nice day in prospect.
Library visit is needed as last week was terrible weather and the books are now overdue. Not that anyone is really bothered.
Car needs topped up with diesel as next week is Music Festival madness when I will not be venturing anywhere near the town centre.
The motorhomes will be arriving from now and will be wall to wall in the car park so no or little parking for ordinary mortals.
After lunch must get the trike out for a run in sunshine tho' the forecast for the next week has a few good days.

Good morning from an overcast and very chilly Suffolk. There's no hurry to get to Snetterton as it's only qualifying this morning with racing in the afternoon so I'm having a slow start to the day with a second coffee after a decent night's sleep. One thing I must do on the way out is get a tank of fuel as the little yellow light came on as I left Ipswich on Thursday - with any luck this should also do for next Sunday's Silverstone trip as well.

Sunny but a chill to the wind so this morning venture by the ebike to the cycle stands at Waitrose had its rider wearing the hood up on a hooded cycling jacket. Opted to wheel the bike through a temporary light controlled crossroads, nothing was moving

Apparently, the traffic lights are not working in Kingsthorpe. Fortunately, and I rarely say this, I'm in Corby 😂

extension tubes are fun. what do you plan to photo w/ them?

Mundanely enough, old photographic negatives. All the quality of scanner, none of the expense and wait times.

looking like a nice start to the afternoon still cold but warm when the wind drops.

Pleasant solo wander. Except for 4 old biddies with ski poles walking and talking. Not a lot of listening going on.

Then got all broody because I whistled at them

They then split into 2 groups of 2 and made for either side of the lane.
At which point one from each pair decided to cross the road to join the other group.

That's reminded me of a show I saw quite a few years ago at the Edinburgh Fringe. It was at the height of the " Scandi Noir " series on TV and consisted of three ladies acting out a Scandi drama. All the props were hand kintted by volunteers from the English village where the ladies hailed from. As one of the props was a car that was quite some feat. One part of the show involved " Nordic Walking " and much comic emphasis was placed on the need to have done an official course and earned a certificate before you were deemed to be able to walk " correctly "

Does 'Walkers with poles' raise similar ire as 'Riders in Lycra'?
🤔

Just back from town minutes away form home I was almost taken out by a pickup. Who under took a car turning right by mounting the pavement less than a foot away from me. No attempt to slow down just went past and carried on back on the road at full speed.
Clearly a highways maintenance vehicle sadly no name markings.

Speaking of, I may be able to get back on the bicycle this spring or summer.

Oh wonderful i hope you enjoy that day out.
