Time for a ride
No idea what route though

Morning.
It is cool here this morning. I have been downstairs to make hot drinks.
I was watching a black cat walking down our garden path, all of the cats round here use the same route, even our neighbours cat used to walk around the front instead of taking a short cut through her garden.

Today's 73 plate truck has 638477 kilometres on the odometer and was going to take me to Stratford upon Avon but, as the trailer fridge had packed up, didn't. It was then wanting to take me to Hadleigh but couldn't until 1.5 tonnes was taken off the load so it wasn't overweight.

Eventually, I went somewhere 😋

Good morning from a still very warm Suffolk where the sun appears to be missing today. No rain here, but the radar was showing some in the area earlier.

Coffee has been had and I'm about to nuke a small bowl of porridge for breakfast, then a small flask of coffee and a large bottle of orange squash will be made, food packed and I'm off to Silverstone for the Bentley Drivers Club meeting. Diesel will need to be purchased on the way out.

I will if you give the PIN number.

I have no idea what the card's PIN is - I shredded the information as soon as it arrived.

? Unless its used solely online the PIN is going to be needed at some point as only a number of tapping transactions are allowed.

Cooler overcast day. Washer on. Coffee then an Aldi-Tesco-Co-op trek

Isn't modern technology amazing? I am really amazed how modern digital tv's have managed to replicate the time delay that tv's had due to the valves warming up back in the 60's. They have even managed to replicate the time delay of having to get up and turn the channel dial to change channels by incorporating it into a handset which automatically selects the wrong channel for you! It is truly amazing what they can come up with!

Back home
First cuppa brewing
Nearly 4 hours of bliss completed
Cloud cover with sunshine

 

[biggs682]

First cuppa didn't touch the sides

Pretty sure I have just put the washing machine on without putting a pod in it

Are you wondering what to do in the evenings as the dark nights draw in? Then why not remove and try to reattach your STI brake levers and at the same time learn a foreign language. You will be able to impress your mates with how many foreign swear words you will have learnt!

Our Finnish guide says they have the same temperature in the summer or the winter. It just differs whether it is plus or minus

Been sleeping moderately well for the last couple weeks, not long sleep but good sleep...but dog tired today.
Woke at 3am, mind started whirring, got up, had a snack, back to bed, watch TV till 4am..woke up at 7 so so tired and heavy feeling. Forced.myself up, then a few hours meandering round our local country park on the bike with my camera then home, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, egg and a mug of tea.
Might just have a nap soon
Why is it always around 3am !!!

Im reminded of a prank my wife played on a friend she was messaging.
I was idly reading a bicycle owners manual at the same moment my wife's friend asked if she spoke any other.langiages.
I nodded quickly, tell her you speak French then said 'just write down that paragraph out of the manual'
She duly did, there was a pause and her friend typed back...
Oooohkay...you know how to put a wheel on a bike then ????? ...in French !!!
