Well I phoned the café today to tell them you were coming so we have no choice now. Besides, it won't seem so bad when the bacon, egg, sausages, mushrooms, black pudding, fried bread, baked beans, hash browns, tomato and toast is being washed down with a mug of coffee....

Skud can have my mushrooms on his dry toast

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.

(I think this song used to work in the playground when I was at school. Maybe it will work for our ride)

I tell you what, if you've gotten the same chest infection as me and my lad (there's a good chance as we both work in the NHS in similar geographical area) then I know what your going through. It's a bad one this one, it cons you into thinking your on the mend then wham it bitch slaps you down again.

Yep,sound like the same one as I've got,half of the theatre staff have been off sick over xmas
as well,I was feeling a bit better yesterday,sore throat and jelly legs have returned this morning

Well at least the rain symbols in my (obviously faulty) version are moving further back in the day.

Now, where did I put those sunglasses

Think I'm downgrading to my 'everyday' bike rather than the summer bike, I may be a little slow(er) on the hills because of this
