My Eurostar is booked. €138. Then I'll have to pay another €30 for the bike on Monday. But it will travel on the same train as me.

I thought we were building a wall to keep these undesirables out?

Round about Watford would be a good idea, coast to coast

Sounds good to me and Potsy.

Can you believe it, I've got to the age of 50 and I've never kifted.

I've got to my mid sixties and have never heard of it, I had to google it.

I thought most people in Cov kifted regularly.

Not that I'm aware of, though it might be a youngsters thing, in which case I'd be unaware.

I noticed this plaque mounted in a wall on the way up from the Barbican in Plymouth.

Persisting it down here in Leicester, I blame @The Velvet Curtain for it, every weekend he goes away it's nice but he's at home this weekend with a special supply on 'Manc' weather duly delivered. (he gets it cheap from @potsy I think)

You have all the Manc weather. It's actually rather gorgeous here this weekend.

Rain overnight but brightening up now. Should be a good weekend, albeit rather boring as I'm giving my derrière a rest after cycling for five consecutive days (the most I've done since last summer ) and Idiot Dog is sporting the Cone of Shame as she managed to lick her leg raw.

Well done, @coffeejo. I've never cycled 5 days in a row. Maybe that should be my next challenge. Though I have 2 more cycling related firsts coming up. A ride leaders course and a taster session in the velodrome.

I'm catching up with the track cycling from the Paralympics. Only 24 hours behind...

It was that cold this morning I had to turn my heated seat on

Don't believe him.

The more track cycling I watch, the more I want to give it a go though the prospect of getting to and from the velodrome in Newport at any time of day isn't appealing, let alone for an evening session!

Don't believe him.

I think he means he farted.

And we are now back down south-ish

So you are to blame.

Junc 7 several cars stopped, one that had tangled with a lorry, several people sitting on the central crash barrier and several coppers directing traffic round it.

It's always sad to see a motorway accident, one persons mistake can involve so many innocent people.

Fortunately this one appeared to be damage only, there didn't appear to be any casualties. Trouble is these days is that roads are so busy most of the time that it only takes one f*** up and you've got a multiple pile up.

Seen it too often.

Last major pile up I saw on the M62 closed J25 completly, in both directions. And the access roads. But still people had to get there, via the slip roads. Three ambulances coming up, found their way blocked by a recovery vehicle taking a shortcut down.

For a while the only way in/out was by air. Farmer cleared a field for a landing area, at cost to himself.

Oh dear. It's never good.
