Not really a very nice day here. Grey, overcast and occasional drizzle all day.

First working day of the week completed. I took one of my work at home days today because I couldn't be bothered going to the office. I can't really be bothered going tomorrow either, but I suppose I better. It is so much more peaceful at home.

Car repaired. I walked over to the motor factors after work and they had coils in stock. Takes minutes to fit and problem resolved and a full complement of three cylinders. I still had an engine management light though. I disconnected the battery for about ten minutes and now the light has gone out too. The joys of owning a simple car.

Evening Aldi trek a longer way avoiding the potentially overgrown footpath for no path at all. A section of road only has a path at a higher level which is not much when you want to cross the road. A Jag slowed to jet me cross, I waved the driver on and who almost immediately set off a speed alert sign. Prat.
Aldi was like being back in the depths of lockdown. Last bag of Best of British apples, no shaving gel or foam and no eggs.
Chanced that the Co-op might be price matching on eggs, they apparently were but in fact were 10p cheaper.

Evening cuppa went down well with a thin slice (honest) of window cake

Party 2 of 10 next door [for those unaware of my earlier post next door has a relative getting married in 9 day's time and there's a party every day/evening leading up to the all day wedding party]

There is currently a drumming troupe plus DJ playing Sufi dance music. It's LOUD !!! The party has spread and is also on the street.

I'm awaiting food ...

I have received my car insurance renewal reminder so I've checked last year's bank statement for August and it looks to have gone up around 12%. Lets see what the comparison companies come up with when they send me their annual prices. And then I'll input the same details again and get yet another load of prices. The good news is that checking the statement reminded me that I've got yet another saving bond interest payout coming mid month which will cover the insurance cost and leave a bit of fun money.

Quite a lot of thunder earlier his evening but most of the rain went to the north so i reckon that Ipswich got a good soaking.

Hot chocolate time.

You local then?

Yes. A group of us cycled there and back in 1990.

Morning.
I'm getting ready for a ride with my friends. Reduced pack as some peeps couldn't make it. Total of 3. The weather is a bit mixed with cloud and some blue sky. They have forecast showers.
