Well, I'm back from work...

Yes, on a Sunday, special collection from the beer festival. We've had pasta for supper and we're just waiting for the leftover red wine from last night to chambre. Plus we have cheese.

:cheers:

Cheese ...with cinnamon? I'd have to try it before I say xx( ...second thought, no, it's just xx(
[At least you haven't corrupted a nice bit of Wensleydale!]

Ah, sorry, it is Wensleydale! We got a couple of odd bits at the food festival yesterday. The cinnamon one, well, it's like eating cheese and fruitcake, but all in one!

Speicher, I'm just catching up on Montalbano via iPlayer. I've just started watching episode 1......it strikes me that it is a silly idea to take the cord out of your trunks. Who knows what might happen? :laugh:

I would like to know the reason why his swimming shorts did not fall off when he was swimming forwards. They just fell off at an inopportune moment when he was standing up. :heat:

I could offer to try this out when I next visit the local pool but I fear I might get into trouble :laugh:
I think you might be correct. :laugh:

I have spent the day with my Mother. I now require a very quiet evening. Watching "Downton Abbey" might be on the agenda, and the first part of the new Grand Designs series. He is building iIrc an eco-friendly cabin somewhere, starting with two oak trees.

More eco-friendly to build it in fast growing spruce or larch... easily replaced and absorb far more CO2....:angel: But then it's only a TV programme...

Well I took my bike out today and it is smoother than Barry White :becool: or at least it was right up to the point I got the thorn of all thorns through my rear tyre :cursing: .

So I set off just before lunch and I went to Borobridge via Knaresborough then I went to Easingwold and on the way I can across a bike race coming the other way, it seem they were just looping round and round the same roads I was riding on except in the opposite direction so I had to keep abandoning the road so the peloton could get by.

Next I stopped at Beningbrough Hall where I was charged a small fortune for a cup of coffee and very yummy toasted Ham & Cheese toastie and a non descript chocolate thing which I still havent eaten. Upon leaving Beningbrough Hall I got the thorn, once fixed I continued on into york via the most excellent cycle way then across york and up past tescos and joined the York to Selby bike path.

Half way down the bike path it decided to rain so I donned my rain jacket, so by now I had a thermal merino top, arm warmers, 1 x SS cycling jersey, 1 x LS cycling jersey, 1 x Gillet and 1 x windproof/shower proof jacket on my top half and I was just about warm. So next I went through Selby then Tadcaster then to Wetherby then to Knaresborough then back to Harrogate and did a couple af laps, still raining by the way, then home for a grand total of 100.51 miles :hyper: 52 mile of them in the rain.
That is the first 100 miler this year, something just always seems to crop up to stop me, and brings my monthly total to the best this year and there is still a week left :evil: so I am happy with that, if I can get in another 90 miles it will be the best monthly mileage ever.

All I need to do now is pick up a couple of tyres to complete my bike referb as the back on now has a large thorn shaped hole in it which I patched with a tyre boot and the front is quite worn anyway :rolleyes: but considering that is the first "incedent" I have had since I started using Durano + tyres 2.5 years ago I cant complain.
