Afternoon folks, just got back from a walk along the trailway. We dipped into Delph woods and as we walked along a track we could hear a creaking and cracking. Moments later a branch crashed to the ground a few metres behind us! I’ll be buying a lottery ticket this week 😀

I have bimbled. Wasn’t going to as I am toiling in the heat, but it seems almost criminal not to at least have a short spin. The biggest excitement was some escaped cows

Freshened up and just had a sandwich for lunch. Sitting with the fan blasting me now so feeling much better.

The gruesome twosome are here. They are out of luck for food as it's too calmed hot to cook anything. Biscuits it is for them.

I've made my fat cry this morning, I've been for a bimble. Shenton the destination, 34 miles the journey. Started of on my Hoar park loop but at Ansley I turned right on the island and dropped down into Galley Common, a village in a dip, you descend into it then climb out, crossed the Coleshill road and climbed through Hartshill, as the name suggests its a village on a hill, climb though the village then descend away from it, I'd got to 35 mph on the descent then had to stop for the lights at the narrow bridge. Crossed the A5 and through Fenny Drayton, crossed the A444 and up Fenn Lane then left for Shenton. on through Upton then crossed the A444 through Atterton and Witherley, then crossed the A5 and into Mancetter, right by the church and up Purley Chase the onto Ansley where I picked my route out and followed it back into Coventry. An excellent two and a half hours on the bike, a bit warm but bright, sunny and mostly still .

Hell no.

good afternoon peeps.
I've been out for a quick bimble in the heat, now back with a cold beer or two.
Now for a spot of grass cutting before the predicted thundery showers turn up, or not as the case might be.

Have spent the morning recruiting another cyclist.

Daughter No 2, 49 this year. Has a new man in her life (she split from husband two years ago). New man has bought a bike, and started cycling. Daughter has not been on a bike since she was 10. Spent morning giving her refresher course on Mrs Boldonlad’s bike.

They say you never forget, she is away with it.

No doubt new bike, helmet etc will follow.

When I was out there was a man on his bike coming the other way that looked like you when you still had your facial fuzz.

One load of washing done and on the line. Another load is in the washing machine.

Now, where's my coffee and maybe a biscuit or 3 before the greedy oinker eats them all.

So.....one line full and one machine full.
Thats 2 pairs of bloomers.
What about all the other washing

I've got used to not having face fluff now, I look at old pictures of me with the fluff now and have to think "thats me!"

I wouldn't be able to get 3 pairs of bloomers on the line at the same time
