Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
One of my grandsons is here. He said his temp gauge on his car read 30 deg

You're certain it's the bike that is creaking?Lying around charged up probably did for it... As far as Li-ion charge goes, it is definitely a case of "Use it, or lose it"!
Yes, that is currently feeling a bit uncomfortable to me. I used to go to Spain in March every year and it was typically like this. It always took me about a week to acclimatise and then I felt good.
I don't think I would ever like temperatures in the mid-30s or higher though!
Nope, NOT the medical tag!
I've just nipped out to the shops and held the tag to stop it rattling.
I also stood up and the noise remained, so not the saddle. I rode no hands, still noisy - so not the bars/stem/brake levers...
I listened more carefully. The noise is more of a creaking than anything else. I can't see anything wrong with the cranks or frame. Rear wheel/hub is the next thing to suspect. I am going to try the wheel off my turbo trainer bike this evening.

What's needed is a dynahub on the front wheel, powering the rear. Then all she has to do is pedal to start off.Can't you just get a very very long lead and leave it plugged it for your ride
Currently just over 33° here.
Bet there'll be a few lobsters coming off the beach tonight!

All this talk of home delivery made me wonder 🤔 I'm a great fan of Aldi and do have an irrational dislike of Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose. Asda and Morrison's I'm OK with.
So I've googled Aldi home delivery. Apparently at participating stores one can get a delivery via Deliveroo
Aldi do, or did do home delivery of wine, it used to be free, if you bought 12 bottles, I think they charge now.
I have been using ASDA online grocery shopping for about ten years no, to do my BiL shopping for him. No problems, except when Covid kicked off and whole delivery system went into melt-down, normality appears to be restored now.

Thank you from my Good Lady for your good wishes, we've had a good day, we've had unexpected visits from family and friends, we've been out for lunch and had a video call from our youngest, plus loads of cards and flowers.

Glad you both enjoyed it.
Nice flowers btw.
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM or wherever you are.
Up at stupid O'clock again but had a good sleep.
Just enjoyed my coffee.
Heading out now to water all the bedding plants.....before it gets too hot for them.
I will also prune some roses although I have no idea what I am doing.
AND if I can get the lawn mower going I will do at least one of the lawns.
Breakfast will again be fresh strawberries and cherries.
Stay safe peeps.

Good morning folks,
A decent nights sleep, very welcome as I’ve been a bit below par for a couple of days. Yesterday evening I noticed several ladybirds on the tomato plants, a couple of them were copulating 😮 😎
We’ll head over the Heath today for a walk and stay away from the busy touristy places before settling down to watch Le Tour live COME ON CAV!!!
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️
