My Mum and her Step Mum went postal on a boat up the fjords.

I would like to do the Coastal voyage. I would also like to visit the Lufoten Islands, and Denmark, and Finland.

I am pootling off to bed now.
Hoping tomorrow is a good day for enjoying the sunshine in my back garden. Good night Tdr1nka and Davyo.

Woo hoo! My trike is back in one piece! Well, three, if you count the currently redundant front mech I took off, and the mudguard I couldn't be bothered with wrangling back into its bodged place. I got very oily, but had remembered to take some J-cloths, so was able to wipe my hands down before going out for a shakedown ride.
Then got oily all over again when the rear locked up half a mile down the road. I got it going again, not sure what the problem was, although I think it was only when I shifted up to top gear, so I stayed out of that, and the next one, to be safe for the rest of my pootle. So it currently has about 5 gears, half of which make a dreadful noise, and the back brake seems not to work. All in all a very successful morning! Still, it is now rideable, and Someone tea related has said he'll have a look at it when he has time...
I pootled to the caffe at Naburn, where I had a pot of tea, and the biggest wedge of lemon drizzle cake I've ever seen.
And all this, on top of the 64.45 miles I rode yesterday with Uncle Phil! Thats my 2nd longest upright ride ever, and third longest ever ever. Damn it, I'm going to get this century.
And while I was out, my sister rang, to say the decking in their garden isn't quite finished and the new steps aren't done, so not to wear any very high heels when I go down next week. I assured her that I still don't own any very high heels..
Anyone about for Tea?

Here...
<delivers cake with fork lift truck>
It was a really big slice - and a bit on the stodgy side, so I dread to think how many calories.....
It was nice to see the bike path pretty busy, with lots of people obviously out for a nice weather pootle.

Did I mention the 64.45 miles I did yesterday? (not that I'm chuffed with that, or anything)...

Thanks, but just the one slice . . . !
Yeah, that was a good distance, Arch! About the same distance as the Pedal for Scotland jaunt in September, so join the crew!

If you have a spare slice?
I am indoors for a bit, as it is very hot and sunny outside, and I do not want to burn, or turn the colour of beetroot. Slightly sun-kissed will do.
Anyone for Pear Cider? chilled
