On the way back from the shop it was raining, passed a bus shelter where one lass was under the shelter and a younger lass was standing out in the rain.
Am I missing something about the 'youger generation's' abilities or is it inabilities - ?

Some folks actually like being out in the rain. The Ronettes and Scott Walker each made their own versions of 'Walking In The Rain." That sounds appealing to me, but I do like being under an umbrella in the rain when walking. I have also gone out riding in the rain, wearing only a pair of shorts. The last time I did it, a couple of months ago, I pulled what I thought were swim trunks out of the drawer and went riding. I noticed, while riding, that the fly didn't have a zipper or buttons. They were tartan boxer shorts.

Then last year, while on a rain ride, I rode through a very deep puddle about a foot deep on a flooded road. A couple of weeks later, while servicing the chain, I noticed water dripping out of the BB shell. I tipped the bike up and it came pouring out. So that made a BB removal necessary. (That's not rust around the shell.)

The pheasant is still in the garden. He is well camouflaged amongst the shrubs.
I think that Kizzy knows he is there, but has decided to go in the opposite direction.

I am guessing that Bob might be braver than Kizzy. Bob has slow acceleration, and the pheasant could soon gain some height.

Now I've been sent to Coventry!!

Is it one long round of surprises for you? Or is there some plan?

There is a new visitor to my back garden.

An enormous pheasant, I think. It must take a huge effort to get off the ground, or is it lots of feathers that make it look so big?

Just looked at the Wildlife Trust website, yes it is a male pheasant, with beautiful bronze plumage.

Make excellent eating.

Government mouthpiece threatening to introduce compulsory hi-vis and helmets for cyclists and e-scooterists.

Not a mouth piece, an other body part.

OK, I’m officially fed up now. We crossed the channel rocked by Storm Joseph. We drove down through France and Spain battered by Storm Kristin and arrived in the Algarve just before Storm Leonardo. Today Storm Marta is arrived. Had to drive through a heavy hailstorm to take friend back to the airport.

Good weather arrives on Thursday. We’ll be heading home Wednesday 😡
