Hello. Through the half light it looks as though we may be in for a decent day. Yesterday turned in to a really warm beautiful autumn day. A 60 mile ride completed along with a good catch up with a friend I haven't seen for ages. It's good how cycling pulls us together, I'm not sure I'd count many young people 35 years my junior as friends if I didn't ride. 👍
Today? I may survive this; tidy up, ironing, stretches, pop in to town, medical appointment, host U3A event, at 5.00pm collect STP from a wedding (so Mum and Dad can party), feed, bath, play with, put to bed - it's 28 years since I last did that!!
At some point I need to fit in a snooze.................oh my chain needs lubing before tomorrow. 😄

Good morning folks, today is E day, extraction day, I've finished the antibiotics the dentist gave me and its time for the offending tooth to come out, I'm not looking forward to it.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. I couldn't sleep last night. I was too hot.
Misty and dull at the moment but it's supposed to warm up later. Wobt stay like that for long I daresay though.
Stay safe peeps

I have just been woken up by my sister's cat headbutting the cat flap in the door to the guest bedroom in which I am reposing. He won't give up once he has started! I have let him through into the main part of the house.
The plan today is take the family dog out for a long walk with my nephew.
I am hoping to do a 100 km ride tomorrow.
I need to have a think about protecting my bike here while it is stored over the winter. It is in a secure locked lean-to which has a roof but it is open to the damp from outside. The new saddle that I put on the bike in the summer is looking like it will start to go mouldy if left much longer. I could also see metal parts corroding if left unprotected. Do bike bags work when protecting bikes from the elements? The bike could be left 3-4 months at a time.
Oh, and my head is safe. If you recall, last time in Devon I got concussion from hitting my head on low door frames? My sister has treated me to a 'bump cap' to wear in the house [one of THESE]. I bumped it 5 or 6 times in that many hours yesterday. No head damage this time! It is a bit sweat-inducting though. I will drill more ventilation holes in the plastic shell.
Good luck at the dentist @dave r!

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's an overcast start to the day here.
I had a horrible nights sleep, kept waking up during the night, sometimes cold, sometimes sweating.
We went to some friends yesterday, and they don't eat until 7-8 in the evening so I think it was indigestion as we normally eat between 5-6 pm. Still, all ok now.
All the usual stuff to do today, (a long dog walk is needed to burn off the calories from the late dinner), plus booking Eurostar tickets for a planned trip to Amsterdam next April. Who knows what might happen in between though.
Another busy day in paradise

I knew I could rely on you to burst my bubble
I think I am up 
.
Heavy sleep and didn't wake till gone 0730.
Had a nice coffee.
Off to the Docs shortly to have my lughole syringed. Don't know if they still use the old 'warm water' method or the new one which I hear is like a cork screw.......I think I prefer the old one.

Morning Folks Im feeling very positive about my cycling progress! no aches or pains after yesterdays ride and seem to be getting more leg strength every week.
Hacking down with rain this morning though and so going to call it a rest day
Good luck to Dave r with the dentist at least extractions are quick compared to a filling
Have a rabbit invasion where i live..theyre everywhere, when i take the bike out there can be 5 or so on the lawn and they hardly bother to hop away. I keep a brush by my cabin to clean my tyres of rabbit turd before i take the bike inside!
