Lovely supper of egg mayonnaise, salad and a toasted bagel.
Time I wasn't here as I need to be up at cat show o'clock in the morning.
See you all the other side xxx

A selection of cycles in Jasper this morning. Canadians have some really great cycles.

One of the curiosities about Flower of Scotland is that it can't be played properly on Scottish pipes. The earlier non-piped version, credited to the Corries, is in the dorian mode but the pipes can't play the flattened 7th which occurs in the 3rd from last note (''think'' in the first verse). So the pipes play a normal major scale 7th. So what has effectively become the Scottish anthem is played on a Scottish instrument that can't actually play the proper tune.
Thus ends a rather niche musical diversion and I'm now back to watching telly.

Driving to Cambridge this morning I was wondering why there was so much traffic on the road. It was only later in the afternoon I remembered that it was a public holiday weekend. Something else I tend to have no idea about since retirement.

Despite a couple of very light showers on the drive across, Cambridge was a completely sunny day. Three hours of riding around enjoying the river and the countryside bits, dodging the runners/walkers on the busway sections and mostly avoiding the touristy and studenty bits.
Since I got home, an hour was spent with a coffee & soft drink in the deck chair in the garden, sausages & spuds have been had for tea and a large amount of money has been spent on music as it's Bandcamp Friday. Beer is currently being had.

Tin hat time!
A Soviet-era spacecraft is expected to plunge uncontrolled to Earth next week. The Kosmos 482, weighing 500kg, was meant to land on Venus in the 1970s but it never made it out of orbit because of a rocket malfunction
It’s too early to know where the half-ton mass of metal might come down or how much of it will survive re-entry, according to space debris-tracking experts.
Dutch scientist Marco Langbroek predicts the failed spacecraft will re-enter about 10 May. He estimates it will come crashing in at 150mph (242km/h), if it remains intact.
It’s quite possible that the 1,000lb-plus spacecraft will survive re-entry. It was built to withstand a descent through the carbon dioxide-thick atmosphere of Venus, said Langbroek of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
Experts doubt the parachute system would work after so many years. The heat shield may also be compromised after so long in orbit.

Teaching has been finished for the academic year, i.e. until the end of September.
However on the commute home I discovered the front brake on the Merida Cyclo-Cross was more worn than I'd realised. This was communicated via the medium of no brake and me hitting a post at the gate I was about to stop at. I've a bruised hand but am otherwise un-scathed.

Morning.
Sunny with a lot of grey cloud. I will be working on my friend's van again. I asked him to bring it round at 10. He said would it be ready at mid day! I've got to remove the front number, headlight, bonnet slam panel and try to push the headlight panel forwards. He also needs one headlight polished. I said No!
