Morning. After 36 hours of rain it finally seems to be dry. Can imagine the roads and trails will be very wet, puddly, muddy, etc though.

Whatever the weather, the novelty and joy of waking up on a Monday morning knowing I don't have to go to work has yet to wear thin

I have risen!
Weekday, so up early to clear the bathroom and get a Clooneys before the family awaken. Was going to ride today but the wind is howling, so may give that a miss on safety grounds - I'll assess it while walking Mini D to school. High winds is the only weather condition that stops me cycling. Hot, cold, wet, dry, ice, snow, you can adapts and account for, or not wind, you're at the mercy of the elements. At best it fan be unpleasant, at worst deadly.

Wasn't sure what @Drago was referring to regarding Guy Martin, but a quick search revealed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-46590751
Oh dear; doesn't sound good.

Oh aye, fraud offences are bad enough because its seen as dishonesty, but fraid against the Crown is considered very bad ju ju indeed. The magistrate can only sentence up to 6 months in prison, so they clearly think it's likely to attract a greater sentence than that so referred it to crown court for trial.
I think hes stuffed. That the licence is counterfeit is beyond dispute, and I can't thinking a defence for accidentally getting a fake one. He's going not guilty, which precludes being treated gently or an automatic third off his sentence...I reckon it's at least 50/50 he'll be off to share a bedroom with Bubba.
Hes got 24 points on his UK licence, all for speeding. Every time he gets to court he tells the beak about how he needs his licence to get to work, not for work but go get there...yet he cycles to work at his regular job as a truck technician, and the beak keeps falling for it. Hes not a cheeky chappy, he's a blummen menace, treating g the landscape like santa pod* and if he hadn't been caught he'd have been using categories on a UK licence that hed obtained fraudulently.
* Did you know that Santa Pod is named after one of Father Christmas' testicles?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. A horrible night weather wise but as Dave said it could be worse. I could have had to go to work, so all on all it's ok.

Good morning. I've opened the curtains as it's 50/50 for a glorious sunrise.
A perfect riding day but Mrs P wants to visit Light Waves. Might squeeze a ride in this morning but think the chances are slim. Mrs P is also anticipating visiting The Lowry and a meal out!

Driving is not enjoyable. At least in the Volvo now I have supreme comfort if I ever needed to make such a journey. Alas, I never seem to drive anywhere at all these days

Good morning - Not a lot happening today. A trip into town for some Christmas shopping and that's about it.
Have the best possible day.

Not raining and outside temp shows 5 centigrade. Why then when I pull the curtains back at 0720 does the gritting lorry go past? Not much cloud so mebbe sharp fall in temp expected.
