Rain here at the moment. Might dry up later.. Reasonable temperature @ 17Ā°c
Good morning all, dull and grey out there, 17ā° with rain forecast on and off for most of the day.
I've got to pack for the Escape committee on tour trip to SW France, Bayonne, Bieritz, and over the border to San Sebastian in Spain.
I'll be travelling lightly, I'm not one of those who packs the kitchen sink when they go away for a few days, ready for any eventuality.

Good morning from a soggy Dorset. Daughter is doing the Great North Run this morning so we'll be tracking her on the live app. New cables and outers for my Brompton handlebar conversion yesterday ( the usual brilliant service from Brilliant Bikes ). The routing is a bit convoluted due to the 3 way folding mechanism so I have taken lots of photos š¤

I have risen!
San Sebastian is a wonderful place. Fabulous atmosphere at night. When we were there it came to life at midnight.
Good morning all.
Damp out there but supposed to be dry all day.
I've said before, I am a member of the group "friends of Peel Hall Park" and we do obvious things like litter picks, cutting back overhanging bushes and trees plus recently we had a team sprucing up the kiddies playground py painting plus weeding it all.
Well today one of the group has arranged for a wild life expert to give 20 of us a tour, looking at and identifying all the things most, maybe all, people walk past every day eg various fungi, insects and plants. Will take about 3 hours which will be a test for me personally.

No idea how they do it in that heat (or any heat tbh).....they are not human.
