Whoop spoke too soon. 3 x F15 Strike Eagles just flew over low.

Lovely

I love fast jets
my wife - not so much
I took her to RIAT many years ago and she slept through a full throttle display by a Rafael!!

Next time we went I left her in the hotel room and she spent the day reading and shopping

I don;t think she would regard fast jets as an asset to a campsite!!

When I was a kid we used to have Vulcans* fly over quite regularly, unreal sound but then the last flights of Concorde came over Leicester it was flying 'nose up' and the racket was immense.

* flying in to Bruntingthorpe for servicing as were the Red Arrows who did a practice display over the airfield and partly over our school in Lutterworth

We did Riat last year and got woke up at 5am by an active U2 going off on a mission - we didn't half jump (in a tent). At least these left it till breakfast time.

After lunch went out for an hour on the CX bike. Plotted a route that took me into the hills at the side of Llyn Tegid upto Parc. Garmin maps lied. As soon as I turned off the main road outside Bala, the road went vertical and didn't stop. Fortunately my hip didn't cause any issues and I just sat down in 34x32 and grinded away. Lovely little lanes but in true Welsh style, just go straight up, no contour following.

A lovely and warm sunny day. Still blustery, but breeze is now coming from the south east instead of the north.

Slept well enough. Had a morning of chores.

Lovely luncheon of seeded sourdough, smoked mackerel, cream cheese, fruit and a

Spent the afternoon in the garden pulling weeds. The newly-emptied green bin, between my efforts and the parental's efforts, is now chock full again.

Just sat down with a and a biskit.

IIRC, a Spanish omelette should have potato and onion.

Mind you, quite a few cuisines have an egg-and-random-vegetables etc thing. Italian frittata, Japanese okonomiyaki and omurice...

Another lovely morning.

What's all this in the news about white smoke yesterday? Probably means the head gasket has gone.

There was a meme on the Book of Faces last night with Pierre Gasly's smoking Alpine - courtesy of Autosport.

A very mudane WAH day with not one phone or teams call. Only interruption was an Evri person ringing the doorbell even though they had pushed the package through the letterbox. A metal joining strip for repairing one of the trellises. Evening emptying of the adjacent storage box coming up.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.
