Nipped across the road to the country store for lunch. Ham & Cheese sarnie on malted. Washed down with 3 cans of 'Above the Clouds' 6.2% IPA. Very nice. :cheers:

Back to the van to sleep it off now. :okay:

There is a famous railway tunnel at Box, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. On a certain day at sunrise, the sun shines directly through the tunnel.

Raining here and its set for the day. So, its another 'chill' day. The plan is.......
•Wordle (which I am starting to seriously dislike.
•bit of reading. I have the latest Stephen Leather book.
•a film and some sport on tv.
Main meal is 'supposed' to be a roast but I will wait to see what MrsDs appetite is like.

:hello: God morning folks, strange morning, cold, grey and windy, with moisture in the air, its not raining but when I went out to the bin I could feel the dampness in the air. Family should be round later, and I must do the ironing, I should have done it yesterday but I took yesterday off, no chores done, I rode my bike, watched rugby on the telly and found some si fi to watch online.

I've been for a bimble in the spring sunshine, I haven't been far but I've done the longest ride I've done for sometime, I've ridden 35 miles out to Ullesthorpe and back, I've also had my first mid ride cafe stop for a while, Palmers Garden Centre, the ride wasn't really long enough to warrant a stop but I hadn't done one for a while and I don't know when I'll get another one so I stopped. Bike was running lovely, nice and smooth and quiet, the work I did a few weeks ago had improved things nicely. It was a beautiful morning for a bike ride, bright sunshine and little wind, I was out about half eight and it was decidedly chilly but when I came out of the cafe it had warmed up nicely and I was overdressed, but it was a cracking ride and I enjoyed that.

Barnet,
Good morning all.
A cloudy start to the day here.
Wordle in 6, :ohmy:
Our son is working nights this weekend, and announced he is coming round before work. That means he wants dinner.:hungry: So a trip to the supermarket later when they open to get some provisions for a roast beef dinner.
All the usual stuff in between, dog walking, gardening, some domestics and Spurs are on the telly box this afternoon, I think.
I might get out on the bike for a quick evening bimble late on.
Enjoy your day everyone :cuppa:
