That's the main road between Crieff and Perth closed now due to flooding.

Back from Specsavers and all is well on the eye front.

Paid a tenner for the fancy OTC (OCT?) scan which is well worth it and interesting to look at to boot.

Ordered some bifocals for the first time. Got them half price at £111 as I am on their contact lense scheme which is a bit of a bargain.

Absolutely bucketing down here today.

Off to watch the Tour of Britain start at West Bridgford! Decided the Spa tourer wasn't quite appropriate, extract and fettle the Freewheel Rapide. Hmmm, that rear tyre looks a bit er, tired. Never mind, it'll be OK, surely. No it damn well wasn't! Two km from home, an almighty bang. Irreparable, and Mrs Poacher is away at our sister-in-law's. Nowt for it but to trudge back home - no time to get another bike out and make the start, so TV coverage for me. But what new horror is this? The TV is stuck on the EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) and refuses to respond to the remote! Had to unplug the TV for a while before powering it back up, which did the trick. Time to settle down with a coffee and recognise familiar roads, instead of the laudable intention of getting off my fat backside and getting some much needed exercise.

Barnet,
The earlier sunshine has gone, the heavy rain has set in earlier than expected. I've rescued the washing from the line. My plans are in tatters.
I've done a Sainsbury's delivery order instead for next Tuesday morning. We won't be home until monday evening anyway.:cuppa:
