I'm sat in the Badgers Tearoom at Brandon Marsh with a coffee and a teacake. Had a rare minor mechanical this morning, the magnet on the front wheel that powers the cycle computer worked loose, it was showing my speed varying between zero and 20mph till I stopped and tightened it up again.

It's walk cancelled until it stops

So it was like that place in France - Toulouse

Retired in July, and whilst COVID has put retirement plans on hold, I've been kept busy doing those jobs that kept being put off. Usually get out at least once a week, either on the gravel bike or the mountain bike. In September I cycled the North Downs Way over 4 days, and would recommend it. I keep planning other trips (the Eurovelo website is a dangerous place) and me and the missus plan to cycle the Loire next year (COVID permitting).

@classic33 the Genesis uk site seems to be up and running but I cannot see any reference to ebikes.

Venison chilli loaded chips and a winter ale.

Did they have chilli in Devon in the 14th century, and is it past it's eat by date!

Cold wet and windy again. The forecast seems to be much the same for the immediate future. I hope this is not going to continue for the rest of the winter.
Noticed yesterday when I came off the ferry that there were still motorhomes in the queue to get on and ominously two snowploughs. The return trip on a late afternoon boat had some livestock trailers as Tuesday is a market day. Some were in Lidl's car park with large trolley loads going into the towing vehicles. Stocking up for a long winter. There were also still tourists arriving as well though this was a later boat than usual for them.
Still got to unpack the shopping I got which along with no taxi fares justifies taking the car for a day trip.
Good news at the hospital is they found my heart was still there and not much worse than the last check. I find it odd that while the checks going into the hospital are reasonable under the circumstances I also have to get escorted to the exit. I point out that I unfortunately know my way around and know where the doors are but rules are rules.
Another day trip tomorrow so not much shopping, only the things I forgot yesterday but an early start into pouring rain is forecast.

Resident of Mull complains that it’s cold, wet and windy. Blimey, things must be bad

Venison chilli, I suppose the swan and caviar curry was sold out.

Surprisingly we often have better weather in the north corner of the island than anyone else and Iona has also got very low rainfall. I can look out my widow and see rain sweeping up the Morvern side of the Sound and also rain sweeping in over Salen from the west where there is a low area which must have some effect.

Not me. I am going to be a crispy critter.

While some from here are cremated the nearest crematorium is about 100 miles away so not terribly common.
