A tad chilly out there this morning. A real autumnal nip in the air and the trees are changing and dropping some leaves.

I did the riverside trail followed by the hilly willy walk

Another rather weary 5 mile walk done. Not much water in the river but there was an angler trying his luck.

Usually a good sign of a spell of settled weather ahead.

Good evening all.
Just had a Sea Bass fillet with veg and rice for tea Rather jummy.
Bike shop trued my wheel, but then pointed out that the rim is worn out and really needs to be changed. Because of that they didn't charge me anything They will get the job of rebuilding the wheel though. The hub is still good.
A telly night tonight, MrsP will watch Strictly come prancing, and Coro. So I will listen to the footie on the radio.
Another busy day in paradise

Mrs Tenkaykev and I are out this evening. A friend is celebrating his 70th Birthday. He was quite an accomplished runner in his day. There's going to be lots of faces from the past, a Fiddle player to provide the music, could get messy...🎶🍺

The "drain bomb" suction pump is a mighty effective piece of kit , it worked a treat.

Hello! We are home after a great few days in Yorkshire. Richmond is a lovely town. Visited the castle for the first time. It's a very good castle.

Took the scenic route home - Aysgarth >Kettlewell >Grassington >Skipton. This is a route you'd take on a bike rather than drive! Stopped in Kettlewell to get a cup of tea at a pub - sacrilege I know. There are two pubs in Kettlewell. Only one is by the river. Someone is taking the piss.

It the exact opposite with me in Coventry . It’s been sunny all afternoon and chips are off the menu until I hit 12 stone again. Unless we are on holiday , which is why a lot of chips were eaten when we were in Saundersfoot a couple of weeks ago . 😀😀. Cannot think why I put on weight that week .😂😂

Looks like we might be in for a bit more rain. The clouds are gathering.
