On a more exciting note our garage roof has puddles

I'm up. Dog's out in the garden tiddling. Tea's brewing. First load of washing in the machine on Night-time leccy. It rained last night!

Morning. It is grey and cool here.
Well I posted my parcel off to the buyer and found other things that the bay have bu993red up! You can't contact the buyer to say that you have posted to them also you used to be able to put the tracking number in so that you could also track your parcel.

We are now under a hosepipe ban. I went up to look at our pond and the water level has dropped by over 1 foot. Most of our water butt's have run out and we have 12. We don't use tap water in our pond.

First cuppa brewing
13 mile loop completed and I rode through a few small puddles just for the hell of it.
Mostly cloud cover with a bit more rain forecast

Opioid painkillers at 0710hrs. This is what I have been reduced to.

Good morning from a cool and cloudy Suffolk where it seems that overnight we've had the first measurable rain in months with an actual puddle on the neighbour's shed roof.

Coffee has been had and a bowl of porridge will be nuked for breakfast within the next 15 minutes.

Is it just me but driving 220 miles to get your wedding suit fitted is a bit crazy

What about an 8 hour round trip by train just to spend 10 minutes looking at and sitting on a bike which is what I'm doing today.

Yes I suppose that's just as bad but I have been guilty in travelling up to 40 miles to buy a bike before but I try and limit it to 20 these days.

So what are you sitting on today another Spa ?

First cuppa went down well

Yes I noticed traffic was at a standstill when I rode over it between Earls Barton and Great Dodington, I think we have to go Wollaston later tonight and then on to Moulton park and then home so shouldn't bother us .

But thanks

Shut most of the day, apparently. Possibly a fatal ☹️

Not Spa, I'm heading to Leeds to look at a Van Rysel - Decathlon's 'pro' brand as they have the only large size one left in the country. I'm at the very top end of medium or the very bottom end of large so really want to check the size before dropping a large sum of money.

It has features that would horrify many CycleChat members - it's not made of steel, you don't have to reach down to change gears and - even worse - the gears are operated by witchcraft

I may be visiting Spa Cycles later in the year just to buy some chainrings as I've a spare few hours in the area.

@Jenkins - hope it's a successful trip north.

I'm instead heading south near Grantham to paint a couple of ceilings in my father's bungalow, then a visit to son no. 1 in Lincoln.
