Good morning to you Mr Numbnuts.
I slept reasonably well (which doesn't help you). Woke for my pee at 0500.... why oh why can my bladder not wait for just one more hour???
So.......Sat with a nice coffee while waiting for Tony Blackburn with SoTS
Now, where is mighty Mo ?

I’ve been sitting here browsing with my cuppa for the last half hour. Just about to head out for my early wander soon.

Barnet,
Good morning all.
Just getting light here, it's going to be sunny this morning, with rain this afternoon.
I have my first cup of tea and we are listening to Tony Blacckbum on the radio.
I've got a few errands to run, so I'll be out and about on the bike then it'll be an armchhair sports afternoon. Athletics, a mountain stage finish on the penultimate day of the Vuelta, and the Spurs are away at West Ham at 17.30.
MrsP is out with a friend at a art gallery in Central London for a wildlife exhibition, so she'll be gone most of the day.

Good Morning. The sky is clear, the sun is shining, there's a light breeze.............................the forecast is 80% chance of heavy showers by 12.00...............so of course we're heading out on our bikes. It's a bit chilly so the autumn jersey and gilet are laid out. Then there's the question of leg warmers. I'm undecided. We have a lovely route out to the Ribble Valley. We've forsaken the club ride. A dreadful route is on offer, they get worse by the week. Not a patch on when someone else used to do it! 🤔🤔

Apologies for a lot of AWOL this week. It's been hectic. A treatment day for Mrs P yesterday. Instead of running around like a whirling dervish (can I say that - my mother used to?) doing stuff I said, sod it!! I did some things for me that I've tried to get done for weeks. Mainly this involved my gravel bike. Brushed off all the accumulated dust, deep soapy wash, thorough rinse, and repeat, leather off to dry her and avoid streaks, then stand in a sunny breezy spot for extra drying, buff up. Being titanium she loves a rub down with a little chrome polish and more buffing. Chain cleaned, new wax applied. She gave me a great big 😃😃😃

I shall try to catch up later..................take care

Morning.
Currently dry although rained heavily in night and showers due today. I've also binned club ride as thought of riding back 20miles+ into a rainy headwind doesn't appeal. I'll head out for a solo spin if it dries up a bit.
First though tip as I managed to cut grass yesterday before the rain.
