Itching to get back on my bike's

My working day is completed
Apparently cooler than yesterday but clear sunny skies today so it was a rather warm ride to and from work. Added extra cooling by forgetting the helmet.
Cleats were fine eventually on the new shoes. They were in any case old ones pretty gunged up with soil on the surrounds so pretty much locked in position. Had an issue with not clipping in with my right foot this morning but one look at the main climb homeward and it clipped in. Maybe thinking too much this morning.

Test pack for alpine trek. Rucksack and contents weigh 4.3 kg. Got a few odds and sods to add but no more than 1kg. Thus with 2L water should come to about 7kg total. About right.

I went for a ride with my friends this morning. We went to pong way round to castle combe. We were treated to a bit of an air display when we were down in Castle Combe. A Harvard plane was doing a display over the circuit and could see it above the trees performing loops. We cycled back via Ford. As we were approaching Biddestone we saw 2 Red Arrow Hawks on their way to the circuit. I don't know what was going on there.

It's been a pretty warm day here chez Casa Reynard, but mostly overcast.
Did not sleep well (too hot!). The morning's tasks were dictated by fruit. Had some plums and a few greengages that were becoming overripe, so those were washed, quartered and stoned for another batch of powidła. Fruit made up to 3lbs with some of the last dessert plums left clinging to the trees in the garden. There's still enough left on there for another crumble, but that fruit is still green.
Also, the Red Victoria cooking apples I picked in the community orchard were showing signs of not keeping - the catalogues say up to 4 weeks in storage, but in my experience, a week and a half is pushing it. Fortunately I'd only picked half a dozen. One of them was past it, but three have been turned into apple pie filling alongside a few Jolly Millers. Those are another early-ish cooking apple, but less acidic and have better keeping qualities than the Red Victoria. I am about to make the pie.
Tea and toast for luncheon, and spent some time editing a bit of writing.
Then at tea time, off to Tesco to clear the shopping list. Mostly things like pasta, vanilla extract, cat treats and bubble bath, as well as bread, milk, butter and yoghurt. Got majorly lucky on YS, and came home with an organic lamb leg (thinking of keeping it for Christmas!) and two and a half kilos of bacon. Plus some bread from the bakery.
And yes, there *WILL* be bacon sandwiches!

I think I will change a proverb or saying.
A not switched on kettle never boils!
Or one that's not actually plugged in at the wall socket...
DAMHIKT!

Mushy peas have no plaice on a plate of fish & chips in my opinion.
