Good God man! What are you doing getting up at that time of the morning?

Blooming hot in Leamington Spa. The place is full of weirdos and students. Ok, just students.

Me old mate @dave r popped by to say hello. The guy is the founder member of my fan club, doncherno Either that or he's a stalker!

To be honest it wasn't that busy and I don't think we raised much money. Good news is we raised awareness and put a smile on a new kids faces, and I got to spend some time chatting to our training officer about my future training plans, so it wasn't wasted.

We thought it was a bit thin on the ground as well, it was lovely to see people being patient and waiting whilst my Good Lady worked her way down the steps to the canal and back up once we had had a look round. This event had come up on my face book page a few weeks ago, which is why we came down for a look round once the family had left.

I went for a trike ride, the horn packed up and then the rear brake disk started rubbing so adjusted that, got home re-did the brake and found out the horn adjusting screw had come loose so fixed that all ready for tomorrows ride.

I'm a huge fan of Drago and love to see him wherever he makes a public appearance, which is why we came down for a look round once the family had left.

FTFY

I was also disappointed that none of the canal signs had been altered to read 'anal'. Even the graffiti artists of Leamington Spa can't be arsed.

Good evening chaps. Another 18 mile bimble in the bag for me. I was out by 10 am again. I will have to make sure i am out early/ish for the rest of the week, as the weather is going to get hotter and hotter.

Never said anything about getting "up at that time of the morning".

Bit more pruning this morning, chopped up some more small branches to be next year's kindling for the woodburner. Popped up to the local shop (emergency butter run).
Had a disgracefully large sandwich and watched sport on telly for a bit.

Back to the grindstone at stupid o'clock in the morning for my 2 days next week

In Glasgow today for daughter's graduation. She's been at uni for 5 years and is doing another year of teacher training. She'll never pay off the student loans and I can't retire properly until she's finished her studies.
Kelvingrove gallery yesterday pretending I wanted to see Dali's crucifixion but secretly it was to see the Spitfire hanging from the ceiling like a big kids model kit.

Good morning chaps. . No idea what i will be doing today, but i may get out for a bimble. If i do, it will be early though because of the heat.

Good morning, boiled eggs and soldiers eaten for breakfast, the garden has been watered and the washing machine is on, so now i'm off for a couple of hours walk with the dog before it gets too warm for her.

 

[welsh dragon]

I am getting ready to go off for a bimble. Have fun folks.

Off to Mountain Whorehouse this morning to get Mrs D some new sandals.
