Morning all from a very damp and windy Coventry . Rain is forecast for most of the day so I think the high points of our day will be a visit to Malt kiln farm shop then pop into the caffeine project which is our favourite coffee shop at the moment.
Funny how things change , years ago malt kiln was my favourite cycling stop, then it got redeveloped after a fire , the owners then outsourced the running of the cafe and it’s just not the same. It nice and professional but just a little soulless.

Back from a chilly walk 
Fine on the climb but got colder and colder coming back down.
I see whoever cut this fallen tree off the road at one time must have had fun with his chain saw. I think it's an owl.

I've not been there for ages, never used it as a cycling destination, too close to home, if I was out that way I was usually heading for Ullesthorpe, nice place to take my Good Lady in the car, though its a bit posh for us.

I saw the two girls along the road getting ready to go out on their bikes and felt guilty so just had an hour myself. Not sure it was much fun as my feet are soaked going through a massive stretch of standing water even with mudguards. Roadworks further on which I didn't know about and chanced it and stopped to check and the first guys said they were nearly finished and it was fine, but a couple of jobsworths sitting in their pickup stopped me again and said I shouldn't have got through. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the road so they were just being dicks.

The weather has scuppered our plans to go out for lunch and is threatening our trip to the club this evening.

I’ve just had a ham sandwich and bag of crisps.

Just cooked some rump steak and has some, thin sliced on a butty (with English mustard).

Still here, I'll check in a quarter of an hour but it looks like our night down the club has been rained off, we'll get soaked just going down the bus stop, it'll be worse for my Good Lady sat in her wheelchair than for me but neither of us want to sit in the club in wet clothes.
