Good morning. Very wet overnight but clearing skies for the last hour. The Met Office radar shows we will get nothing unrtil scattered showers around 15.00. Just as well as we're heading out on a gravel ride. Temperature????? About the point when Paul can't decide between an autumn jersey and a summer jersey with armwarmers..............I don't like these days! Overshoes will be a necessity as I'm sure there will be mud which is a great opportunity to give my Ass Savers a proper work out. I've run them all year but only in dry conditions, a gravel bike gets remarkably dirty in the dry and these guards make a big difference.
There has been an incident, a porridge incident involving a microwave. I changed my technique, tomorrow I'll revert to the previous technique. The microwave is clean, very clean. Hopefully management will simply think "that's nice of Paul to clean it"..............alternatively the management probably won't notice.
I'm off. Sat here in my summer kit + armwarmers + leg warmers............off to the garage to check out temperatures and put lights etc on the bike. We're heading into Scouseland with a planned coffee stop on Lark Lane. The cognoscenti will appreciate the significance of this 👋
Your porridge reminded me of a college incident over 40 years ago….
Remember those sponges in a tin? Boil them for 40 minutes?
Best was always the treacle one. Mmmmm.
Don’t forget, & leave them for 2 hours….
Tin split beautifully along the seam and lid, exploding to the ceiling…..of a tall room….with pipes…..
That was a long evening of cleaning 🤣
Chilly here too….but warm and humid in a week: we head off on our crazy 10-week RTW blockbuster, starting with 5 days in Singapore before heading Down Under.
Family, friends & no doubt a bunch of strangers to see, along with some sights (never been before), then heading back via a scoot around Vancouver, just in time for Christmas 😜
DD asked us to put the decorations out before we went. I’ll meet her halfway: outside lights are strung up….& I may venture into the attic later to bring the tree and a few bits down 🎄
