Well - looks like it is going to be chucking it down all day so the bike can stay in the shed!
I do need to go to Tesco because I forgot some things the other day - including taking the bag of plastic bags and plastic wrapping to the recycling in Tesco entrance. That has made a huge difference to the volume of stuff we put in the 'general waste' bin!
And we are now out of salt and potatoes as well
Oh - and it has to be Tesco - ASDA and Morrissions have no chance - the Tesco car park is under the shop so you can go in and out without getting wet - gotta get the priorities right!

I've been for a bimble this morning, my Brinklow loop, rode 25 miles, what they call a bright and breezy morning, great fun with it behind me, I was on the fixed and was in danger of spinning out in places, into the breeze was just plain hard work, dropping down towards Brinklow from Stretton Under Fosse I was just about making 18mph, normally I'd be in the low 20's, that breeze was cold as well, one of those that blew straight through you instead off going round you. it was a good morning out on the bike, the leaves are turning and some of the trees are looking spectacular, theres also some leaves on the road now, wet in some places just to keep you on you're toes. I enjoyed that, it cleared the head nicely.

I didn't realize this could be done. A man has described his shock at returning to his house and finding it stripped of all furnishings after it was sold without his knowledge.

And, as usual, the police wash their hands of it.
