Good morning all, bright and chilly here.
Good morning all, the rain has not yet arrived but it is on the way.
This mornings excitement is a sainsburys delivery and a paving firm is coming to give us a price to have the driveway and part of the front garden block paved in conjunction with our neighbour. MrsP has wanted off street parking for some time now.
If we get it done it will be in eco paving so that the rain can soak through instead of running away down the road adding to the problem of flash flooding of the local streams when there is heavy downpours.
I shall be watching the inaugural Women Paris-Roubaix this afternoon.
Stay dry everyone

All my working life a weekend off was a bit of a rarity, we did get a day or two off during the week though.

Same here. 6 mile hilly walk done. I was warm enough on the way up, but you get a real sweep of the wind up the top and then get chilled on the descent if it's cold, so porridge this morning.

Good morning. A Dragon's Y-fronts sort of day here - damp and windy. Nothing I have to do but plenty I will do.
Meeting a club member to discuss introducing women's rides to our club schedule. Tremendous idea which should work. It's pitching the rides at the right level which could be tricky.
Sleep? Interesting pattern could be emerging. Sleep till 4.00ish, have a brew for a for 60-90 minutes, back to sleep for a couple of hours. Could be connected to darker mornings?

We are visiting my son at moment. He lives on a new development, and, I noticed, there are no rainwater sinks in the road. Instead, it is block paved, with what must be eco paving. I had never heard of it until now. Experience so far, it appears to work, ie, street does not flood, but, I do wonder about the longer term when council neglect allows the gaps between the blocks to become choked with weeds etc.
