Last tried playing it at school. Handy sized bat, aluminium as well.

They got just a bit too close once as I swung to hit the ball...

I take it that was the last time you were allowed to swing a bat then?

 

[172traindriver]

Only when it's time to eat it.

Make it and eat it sounds good

 

[172traindriver]

I'm good at that...

it shows

Doesn't with Classic though

The Evil Empire

Headed out back of seven for early morning coffee, enjoyed the quiet at a nearby fishery then did a tour of the back roads,
avoiding all the roads being surfaced dressed and there is plenty being done

They seem to have an obsession with that surface dressing round here currently.
Really good with the wet tar as the existing roads are melting due to the warm weather let alone the new stuff settling properly.

Go back to bed?

Bimbled over to visit dad, then home and feet up for the cycling.

With anyone willing to stand near me.

Sounds a nice chilled day.
Just back and watching the cycling on the +1

The theory (so I was told) is that once they lay fresh tarmac down, they wait a year to let it settle etc then surface dress it and this apparently extends the lifespan of the tarmac. Problem in the country roads is farmers dropping muck, slurry etc when heading to spray muck on the fields and this stuff just mangles tarmac. A few farms locally are like this, one farm I avoid in wet weather as the road passes through the farm and is constantly covered in it. I'm sure in wet weather the road must be like a skating rink.

Not the best stuff for the roadies though..

I think I timed it well today heading back from dads. All the signs warning of loose chippings were in place but they hadn’t started. It will be done in the next day or two by the looks of it.

I can hear a farmer with a tractor on the lane. I think they are cutting the verges and the hedges. I will have to be careful of thorns for a while i think.

Bit early, still nesting season still.

Yes I have heard the justification of the highways department saying it prolongs the life of the road and cost something like 20% of the cost of resurfacing.
Bloody horrible stuff and you don't want to be riding your bike over it for a while and also pays to avoid it in the car.

Don't want to try fixing punctures again do you Mrs D.
When the hedge cutting starts its a terrible time of year, and probably worse that the chipping of the roads.

I would have thought that, but is it always respected??
