Yesterday stayed rather nice for the Stafford bike show. And I now have a merino base layer which will be perfect for both types of bike

I'll do my best, I know Jo likes to see a good injury.

The dog's taken one look at the weather and decided he's not that bothered about a walk after all...

Snipe finally conceded defeat at 8.30 and went out for a pee - only 11 hours after she last went out.

When I was a kid, I had a male JRT. In really bad weather, he would stand in the doorway and pee outside whilst staying dry himself. Genius.

Bleeding weather, good job I got a ride in yesterday. Today looks like a TV and tea drinking day.

1 mile walk around the block for Tom. He's now, ahem, grooming himself in a doggy way.

When I was a callow youth I had a Triumph 5TA

Absolutely pouring down here in Halifax, it is dull grey and misty out there, even the starlings on the bird feeder look fed up. Looks like a stay at home day unless my good lady has planned otherwise.

Chile for some WHO meeting

I take it that's not with Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey

Sorry to lower the tone, but the only French I know is ' ferme la bouch ' which Miss GM taught me when I kept annoying her while she was doing her French GCSE.

I'm exactly the same. That's why I gave up listening to Radio 3 at night* - I'd get woken up in the middle of the night by some overblown singer as though from a nightmare. It sounds so completely unnatural to me. I like choral music though as it's ensemble work and not designed to drown out the whole.

*Mind, Radio 4 gets me when it turns into BBC Schools during the week. I just hate the shouty, manipulative voices. Then there's that horrible signature motif of Newsday early in the morning - using portamento settings on a synth for what is effectively a bugle call simply comes over as painfully out of tune.

I love choral music too, it's very soothing.

We now have sunshine and blue skies so I've put a wash on. I've also stripped the bed, turned the mattress (I think: I got a bit confused) and hoovered up some of the dust bunnies and dead spiders lurking beneath it. Also thinking it might be time to swap sheets and blankets for the winter duvet.

Not a lover of opera but when I am in the right mood I do enjoy such as this,

Bonjour. Il pleut.

Yep the southern rain has spread here too, my planned walk is not looking quite as appealing now, maybe just a lazy Sunday after all

Paresseux!

No way is it winter duvet time here yet. I am hoping never to have to put it on.

Sunshine and blue skies here too but it is still raining and the wind is fairly robust.

Even so the neighbours are in their hot tub.
