Wife commented a while ago that she has some medication waiting to be picked up at the pharmacy

thought - nah - it'll stop
p****g down by the time I started back
the things I do for her!!!!

Puzzle game procrastinator!
A quiet day here today in Devon.
We took the dog for a couple of short walks.
I cleaned my bike - I had been negligent last time and left it filthy.
I pulled a lot of grotty old lath and plaster off one bedroom wall. The whole lot is being replaced with plasterboard. My sister is saving money on the cottage renovation where she can by the family doing the easy/safe/unskilled jobs.
I then did a short bike ride to investigate rumours that a bridleway which had been unrideable last summer due to mud had been resurfaced. Yes, the first few hundred metres had been and it was a big improvement. After that though there was a mud climb that I couldn't ride up on my slick road tyes. I walked that bit and then managed to ride a bit further before encountering the quagmire. It is a woodland track ripped up by forestry vehicles. Hopefully, the rest of the bridleway will be upgraded because that would offer a third EW route for me on my stays here. I can go via Exeter or Crediton but there is currently no road bike-friendly route over the wooded hills in between.

Covers more than just the A30.Why? I'm not going down the A30.
You can check your route before you travel, and on the move, for any problems.
