Morning.
It is wet here. Georgie came in for breakfast soaking wet, he let me towel him dry a bit before he had his food. Afterwards we had a game of pass the mouse, he would bat it to me and I would bat it back. Every now and then he would stop and stretch out to see if I was watching.

Another two blissful hours with me and a bike have been travelled.
Damp underfoot but quite a bit of blue sky.

Good morning from Suffolk and guess what - we've had more rain and it's another cloudy, breezy & miserable start to the day. For the first morning this year the temperature sensor in the back garden is showing two digits before the decimal point.

Coffee has been had and the overnight bag is by the front door ready for today's train, bus, train & train trip up to Leeds to see Sorry at the Brudenell. At the moment this is the only visit there I've got planned for the whole year. Would it be tempting fate to remove the waterproof jacket from the bag and leave it at home?

I've also taken a punt on the weather forecast for mid-week being correct (not cold & wet) and purchased yet more train tickets for a day out with the bike and will get them printed out at the local station while waiting for the outbound train this morning.

First cuppa went down well as did the mixed bowl of cereal

Rough night. This lurgy isn't shifting - just not risking it sitting on my lungs so the bike can wait - see how I feel for Tuesday's commute.

Going to potter in the garden in a bit, clean the commuter bike, and then got to trace an oil leak on my brother's Kuga before he takes it into the garage. He's had a few wear and tear items this year, mainly issues with the cooling, seized calliper. It's the family bus and isn't particularly looked after, other than an annual service. He got in my van a couple of weeks ago with his son, and went 'oh this is rather clean, good job Thomas has had his croissant earlier'.

At least if I can pin point where it's coming from, it helps the garage. That said, if it's been there a while, it will have blown oil all over making it difficult to fine.

Was sunny, now cloudy with a glimpse of the sun, and a strong chilly wind. Washing hung out.

Second cuppa went down well although it was a tad bit warmer than preferred temperature

4 teas this morning! I must have needed 4Tfying. Still, I got most of the washing up done. Just the breadboard to do. But a trip to the toilet will intervene.

Slight error by the coach driver as he took the wrong exit off the A14 for Bury St Edmunds and had to do the U-turn of shame at the next roundabout.
Now back on the train with much more space to spread out and in the way to Peterborough.

For the first time in 2026 we have washing outside on the whirly gig

Pleasant walk to Miller's Yard café this morning in warm & dry (!!) weather.. Tea & a bacon sarnie for me and a free sausage for Bonnie 🐶

Have to keep on untangling some such is the wind.
