Good morning all and happy Birthday to Mrs D.
I have arrived at retirement and have from today joined the ranks of the economically inactive.

I had a word with the nice man at First Utility this afternoon and the tests show a line fault somewhere between me and the exchange and I'm getting half the speed I should. They've raised a ticket for it and it should get fixed sometime next week, they'll phone me when it's done.

Well thats a result! We got a knock on the door this morning from the open reach engeneer, turned out there was a fault in the box down the road and he'd fixed it and wanted me to check my broadband and sign the job off. My broadband is now the fastest its been for years.

The sky is a strange blue colour today, instead of the dull grey/black it has been for the last four days, we have been out cycling:

Just got back from a cracking ride. Had a really good creature feature in Hamsterly Forest - a barn owl coming up out of a trackside ditch with a vole in its claws. Can't have been more than fifteen feet away from me. Right in the middle of the day too.
Also spotted a full case of Carling lager in the verge by the A167. Don't know if I CBA to go back and get it though as it's bloody vile stuff.
Anyway, did 58 miles with just shy of 5,000ft of climbing.

This memory has come up on my facebook page, a cyclechat forum ride I did in April 2013, a great day out.


Only a 42 miler today, but it was lumpy and windy, we were looking at 50+ miles but cut it short because of the conditions and some riders carrying injuries, drove over to Oakham this morning and met up with the lads by Oakham station, rode past the Rutland Water Osprey nest site on the way out and did a circuit to the south of Oakham with a cafe stop half way round, then back to the ride leaders house for tea, cakes and a gossip before returning to the station to pick up the car and drive home, a very good Sunday out.

Now don’t laugh but I’m marshalling at the Chorley Grand Prix. I know, I know but we are very proud to have a proper road race in our town. Time to make sandwiches and flask!!!!
