Whilst in the kitchen eating brekky this early a.m., noticed a fox in the garden eating monkey nuts from the squirrel stash - !
Half a hour later there was another fox AND a muntjac deer within about a metre of each other both browsing on the fallen bird nuts & seeds that had fallen from the feeders on the tree - !

Wednesday almost completed and weather a huge improvement on yesterday. Working in the office today. I actually dread going as I don't see why I need to be there and it's so noisy and distracting. I'll have to go tomorrow too I suppose.

The big excitement is that I will be getting a new door access card. Mine expired in 2020, but I hadn't been in the office until recently. It still works! I suppose I'll have to have a new photo taken.

I've been to my Wednesday dance class.

Time to relax for a bit before going to bed.

Rain forecast overnight on our two phones but both differ in start time and percentage of rain, so will look out the window and judge from there

Too much time was spent this afternoon trying to co-ordinate a band's tour dates with hotel availablility & cost, train times and my existing bookings that I started to confuse myself. I think I have worked out when & where I'm going when the tickets go on sale on Friday.

I have also received the funds from my cashed in Premium Bonds, opened a new savings account and transferred the money to stop myself spending it.

Lovely supper of the rest of last night's pork, plus had it with rice this evening, and soy & sesame pak choi.

Raining well here in Calais. Don’t envy the London to Paris group who checked in to our Ibis just after us last night. They’ve got a rotten start this morning.

Edit: they’re going to Amsterdam via Bruges. Never assume

Morning.
It was raining earlier but has eased off now.
Yesterday's ride was a bit of a marathon for me. I ended up doing 23 miles which wasn't good after over a week of recovering. Normally I wouldn't have minded but a mention of the distance beforehand would have been good. That way anyone could have pulled out beforehand.
I was surprised that my rear managed to cope with sitting on the saddle after last week.
I think in future we will have to discuss the route beforehand. They know that one route most of my bikes aren't suitable, they are road bikes with narrow tyres. I have to dig out a sturdier bike. Also riding through a flooded road on a bike without mudguards isn't nice because someone has chosen the wrong route. Most of my routes from home have had to fit into time constraints so I pick a casual 12 miler with a stop for tea. One hill with a lovely long bobsleigh run down to the halfway tea stop.
