Went up Holme Moss this morning for the first time this year, as there was a charity cake event at the top:

Nice pint of Gwatkin cider last night. D’you think I should have asked for a top up?

I've landed in Oban, after an extremely long bus journey.

The traffic on the A82/A85 is insane. The bus driver had to stop in places when meeting wide oncoming traffic (mostly campervans and giant caravans). I see why Oldwheels of this parish hated touroids so much.

Even a few brave cycle tourists. I wouldn't ride on that road if you paid me.

I drove that route c2007 in my Peugeot' 205 and remember very little traffic on it. I enjoyed driving it back then. Don't think I would any more if today is typical.

I should really have used the train , but just checking out Citylink's bike booking policy in action as I will probably be using it coming back from Ullapool. It worked very well actually, drivers very helpful. While waiting for the connecting service in Glasgow, I seemed to gain an audience of people interested in my trip.

Weather nice and calm at the moment. Hope it stays that way. Get a chance to sail on the MV Glen Sannox. Only the newest and best for me

Generally a sunny day
Afternoon was meant to be overcast but only now.
Washer on twice, lawns cut and two shrubs trimmed. Garden wheelie bin nearing full.
Ebike photoed to see what a dealer will give me for it. Thinking of getting a step through type.

I think Wetherspoons must water down their jars of squeezy mustard.

A few teas have been consumed today.

So that means my evening drink will be a hot chocolate decision made

 

[Gwylan]

Of course, I am in the midst of having that happen twice. I could go on for paragraphs about why, but you all have a pretty good grasp of why, and I feel I would be preaching to the choir. May be some change, come November, regardless of Republican gerrymandering and judicial complicity.

Is he bright enough to work out where the smell of burning is coming from?

Why do Wetherspoons put their customer toilets in a different parish to the rest of the bar!

Stop drinking the mustard: you won't need to go as often.

Woking on the way home. Replacement bus service so far.

You just know when the display shows this

the next display is going to show cancelled.

I was wrong. It came. I'm on it

Best part of the the day blue skies and sunshine now

 

[Jenkins]

An afternoon of feet up with a combination of football on the radio, motorsport streamed on the Chromebook and reading.

Burger and chips have been had, the recycling bin has been moved to the front of the house ready for emptying in the morning and the evening's hot chocolate will be made in a little while.

It's a hard life.

 

[Illaveago]

In the last couple of hours the weather brightened up and we had blue sky and sunshine. Shame it was at the end of the day.

There's 13 pence sitting on top of the dressing table in my hotel. Is this some sort of gift to guests!
