Today's 73 plate truck has 454106 kilometres on the odometer and is attempting to take me to Hadleigh except the A14 is closed due to an accident & I'm stuck in the queue... 🤷‍♂️

Morning looks like another grey one

Well it's not raining so going for a ride

Misty old start to the day, looks to be dry so maybe I can finally get out for a walk about.

Good morning from an almost sunny but still very wet underfoot Suffolk. There was even a hint of moonlight when I got up for a pee in the middle of the night.

Coffee has been had and the overnight bag put by the front door ready for this weekend's outing - loud music in Lincoln tonight and a quiet night in Harrogate on Sunday with plenty of beer & food both days.

A grey start to the day but at least it's dry.

Waiting for breakfast now. I hope to escape on the bike for a bit a little later.

Well that was bliss
Only 14 miles but they were all very much needed.
First cuppa brewing.
Grey , mizzle in the air and very damp underfoot

Don't know that one. My plan is a couple in the Harrogate Tap once off the train, book in to the hotel and have a nap then dinner and more drinks in the Winter Gardens.

The sound of tyres on wet roads has returned. It was silent when I got up, not because the roads were dry but because a rather ingenious driver had managed to overturn his car on a straight 20mph road at some point in the night. There it was, on its roof, sideways on the carriageway, and pointing directly at the access road to our estate. I suspect there will soon be a fair few penalty points going onto someone's driving licence.

My BB developed a squeak (before the ride through the flood) so I removed the dust seals and stuffed grease into the bearings. I wasn't sure about it being good, though, so I bought another one and put the old one into the parts box. The new one was in when I rode through the flood. After seeing water dripping out of the shell, I removed the BB because I figured it must be full of water. I put the previous one in, which I had greased and it's good, and still working well. Then I found out it's possible to take BBs apart, so I took the water-logged one apart, blew it out with compressed air, stuffed the bearings with grease and put it in the parts box. It's all good. I may never need it but it's better to have it and not need it... etc.

brilliant!
