I went out for a short spin. Just 19 miles but it was plenty for me today. It's very raw out now and the roads are pretty filthy in bits with ploughing, tattie picking, etc.

Well done Mo, especially in the cold.
Me, I call 19 a decent ride.
10 is short for me.
40 is long.
Over winter I will be happy to get 2 x 25 milers per month... I hate cold weather.

And you don't want to get the points?I fear you are not taking this seriously.
With a name like Drago the baddy is obviously part Comanche. If we dont gang together that poor welsh woman could be forced to wash Dragos long johns and clean his totem pole every month

Good afternoon everyone - A day spent doing nothing today. Quite nice really. Life seems to be full of having to do things I'd rather not and to get a day off seems a luxury. Trouble is that I feel I'm being lazy now.

This is fair comment and I think we will do so. Portion size was erratic today. Four of us had beans on toast. Two had beans overflowing the toast as we would expect. Two were smaller, mine by 50% and I can't help but wonder if that was because I had poached egg as well.
We've identified the owner. A guy wandering around in a smart black polo neck and using his laptop at one of the tables. The lady who previously owned it would always be seen behind the counter or in the kitchen. Very different styles.

Well I bonked today. Well and truly bonked after 25 miles. Café stop was at 43!! 😭 Even after the café I couldn't get going. A very, very tough ride for me. Averaged 15mph over 60 miles and the last 35 were a battle of wills between the part of me that simply wanted to stop and the bit which knew I had to carry on.
Shower. Sleep. Tea. Much better now but jeeeez what a hard ride.😰😰

I ate a cheese sandwich and snoozed off. Must've been spiked.
I had some bread like that today.

Panic stations yesterday. I was about to change my ferry booking to Wednesday but for some unfathomable reason checked my car MOT certificate first to see when to book the next test. It was over a month out of date and a mainland trip in prospect. Down to the local garage who agreed to fit it in first thing in the morning. Back legal by 1100 and off at 1300. The advantage of keeping business local is that favours can be called in. Phew.

I've had a brilliant idea. Next time England play New Zealand and they do the Haka the England team should watch patiently and then respond by breaking into a bout of violent Morris dancing,
I actually think thats a great idea.
