Gazing out of the window earlier and took a photo of a neighbour's roof. It's a semi detached and one half of the roof ( less well insulated I expect) had more than 70 white doves settled there. I have seen " The Birds " and it's making me uneasy...
 
Today Was The Day

Yes - the new sofas were delivered

all went well excep tfor SWMBO having to pause the budget speech as they arrived in the middle o fit

I listened to the rest of the speech
then went for a ride

got wet but not too wet
but the highlight was that when I got to the bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal the bridge was open!
never seen that before - it aint the busiest canal n Earth!
the ship must have gone through before I got there
but watching the bridge swing back was amazing - no noise at all from the side I was on!!


anyway it started raining just after I got past the bridge and kept it up for abotu 5 miles but nt too bad

not been rained on when riding for many months!!!


anyway - good day really!

Who? For my sins I am from that city, but I can't say I've ever heard of Maurice Coleman.
It’s a he!

A bit on his early career half way down https://leicester.omeka.net/exhibits/show/postwar/music
Just a great background buzz to an evening with pals. One picture they popped up was this cassette ‘sleeve’ - we bought that cassette!

On room temps: we prefer the rooms cool at night: 15-16° is fine 🫣🥶🤣

I have been informed that there's going to be a nudist beach in Prestatyn for next summer. I wonder if Numbnuts will come over?
It may also be fake news, who knows?

He will be there , holding court over an outdoor cookery class , showing them how to put a hole in the ring donuts just using your body as a cooking utensil ( or tool )
