Nice ride today. Got rained on which was very enjoyable. It's pleasantly cool here so I think I'll take the chance to relax and enjoy it. Perhaps a bit of ironing.

Much of our ride was spent discussing next year's French tour. One of our number was expressing doubts about 80 miles a day etc. Eventually I had to point out we started at 8.30, 67 miles in the bag, an hour in the cafe and a very easy ride.........and its only 2.00pm meaning we'd have +/- 3 hours to make it up to 80.

I think he got it.

I think I will keep watching the European games this evening as the track and field starts. I will catch up on Marriage another time. Might binge it all at once.

I watched the first episode of the Marriage last night and was very dissapointed with it . I found it boring and poorly scripted so I won't watch the rest of it.
Very cloudy here but no rain.

A 12k walk into poole via Upton House and Holes Bay. There was a family of swans, second brood, preening on the shoreline. Popped in to a shop and picked up some Tomato feed, it’s labelled “ Doff “ not a name im familiar with but as there was none to be found in either Robert Dyas or Wilko I paid my first visit to “ Poundworld “ and they had the above at £2.50 for 1.2 litres.
