What were keeping you awake?
Just back from the Post Office. As I walked down I saw a funeral cortège approaching led by a chap on foot, suit, top hat in hand and walking slowly. I took off my cap and stood with head bowed as they approached. The Cortège was almost opposite when it stopped outside a house, the chap turned toward the house and bowed before he got in the passenger seat of the hearse and the cortège proceeded up the road.
As he was climbing in to the passenger seat the chap looked across and nodded to me. I’m wondering if he was acknowledging the respect I’d shown, or was he indicating “ Looks like you’re next “ 🤔

The former hopefully! Sadly another tradition that seems in danger of being lost soon.
A little walk done before lunch including a visit to a lovely horse and some pet sheep.

We were stood at the bus stop on Upper Well St waiting for our bus home after lunch when a group of people crossed the zebra crossing at the bottom of the road, on Space Hoppers.

I have arthritis in my left hip. A couple of years back a podiatrist friend set me up with excellent supports to alleviate this but if I sleep awkwardly on my left side I get a lot of discomfort in my lower left side back. Stupidly I slept on my left side last night!

No, I was clear headed, I was in wheelchair pilot mode, I have to be clear headed as its too easy to wreck a chair on Coventry's rough pavements, We're currently waiting for a replacement for a chair that had its frame break.

We took our coffees and flapjacks to a bench on the Rochdale canal towpath, away from the traffic noise near the cafe. We had a nice long chat while watching the geese and ducks play about on the water.
It was the first day this year when I started to feel a bit hot in the sunshine. Once the coffee was gone I took a swig of water from the bottle on my bike. The water was very warm - ugh! (I should have used my expensive new semi-insulated Camelbak bottle but I had used my old SiS bottle instead.)
By the time we parted the traffic was building up so I decided to head back without any extensive detours. I did get off the main road for a while though by climbing up to Calderbrook and descending back to the main road further on.

I did think for a moment I'd been transported back into an episode of The Prisoner.

Now there's a coincidence... When I got back into Todmorden this afternoon I saw a Lotus 7 kit car clone, followed by another one, followed by a third one! In my teens when I still wanted to learn to drive I lusted after a Lotus 7, like the one driven by 'Number 6'!
Perhaps there was a local Prisoner fan club meeting that I hadn't heard about? Hmm... there are Caterham/Lotus 7 clubs!
Cryptic question for you all (answer tomorrow): When does splashing out mean NOT splashing out?
