@Drago Lucky you're not by the Queen Eleanor! 4 cars, including one on its roof, apparently, have run out of talent: plus M1 is closed at 15a,too 🤷‍♂️

Long Mass service today 12 kids taking their first Holy Communion
at least half you will never see them again, they only become Catholics
to get in the two best schools in Southampton, I kid you not
it's about time the Church and the schools stopped this mockery.

I seem grumpy this morning for reasons I cant fathom.

Welcome to my world 😀

Morning all . It’s a strange Sunday for me , no sailing . Normally at this time, I am about a hour into the race and deciding if I am having enough fun to carry on for 15mins until the end of the race or whether I would be better off finishing early and opening the bar. 😀
It’s all the fault of the Leamington half marathon ( and no I am not running in it 😂) . It’s just the reservoir is trapped within the circular route of the race and the roads are closed from 6am to 1pm ish .
It’s funny how something I often find SO frustrating, I miss SO much when I cannot do . 😀
Oh well I still have Wednesday evening sailing to look forward to this week .

Been out for a ride - airport and back

different to normal as apparently the Halton half marathon is today and a lot of roads are closed
including The Bridge

anyway - I have been intending to go that way for a while


and got a phot of my bike by the famous "Dungeon Lane" sign
made more famous by Paul McCartney's new album

Naturally - as you can see - some moron has nicked it
it was replaced and some has nicked the new one


The one of the other side is missing as well - of course



Nice ride though - especially as some long lengths were close but bikes etc were allowed down one side - which is nice and quiet

Feeling very satisfied as after about 5 days of working on it and reducing it to component parts I finally got my old strimmer working again.
Minimal cost, about £15 all in for a few parts and carb spray and it runs. Just did an hours strimming to test it and it passed with flying colours.

A trivial thing as I could easily just buy another as not expensive but there's something about fixing something yourself which is immensely pleasing.
I'm not a trained mechanic so lots of YouTube videos etc realy helped.

That Elanor roundabout is even worse since the 'improvements', isn't it!

You should have asked for my advice! @Dirk will tell you, he relies on my advice for fixing his motorbikes etc.
