Turned on the TV to find Bl**dy football! .
Having watch heavily censored BBC !

Check for spinach on your teeth.. Definitely on a loser with that going on!

Obviously they haven't been watching the right cartoons !

Rough night last night, possibly a combination of unaccustomed inactivity and nerves about the upcoming flight to the UK.

Yep, I'm flying. I know, bang go my tree-hugging hippy credentials. It's the first flight in several years and the first to the UK in at least a decade. My mother may have killed me if I didn't bring Beautiful Daughter this year...

I have just seen a black hare, in a field near Hellifield.

She was there again this morning.

It’s a wet one

Of course - you don't think I'd spend £10 getting someone else cut to it this badly do you?

Does it cost £10 now!? Blimey, it was 2/6d last time I went to a barbers 💈

My mate has just been to a wedding somewhere down Londonshire ish (you know down there), but he rode from near Ghent with a mate (that's where he lives). He's currently riding back to his parents home (South Manchester). Looking at one of the wedding photos, his partner was there, so she probably flew - she's not a cyclist.

More remarkably, he's had a DVT in his left leg for the last couple of months - one of those in a vein where the skin all bruises. Drugs didn't clear it, so a minor op did two weeks ago. He's been off work, but none of it's stopped him knocking up 60-100 miles every day he's been off the last two months. I guess riding your bike getting the circulation going is better than standing making cars !

And er would sir like a little something for the weekend.

Good morning from a soggy Suffolk as there was a bit of early morning rain and it's looking like there could be some more later.
There's still the uniform to iron ready for work tomorrow and the bedding needs changing, so I think today will have to be a bit of domestics day.

After a second cuppa & breakfast obviously.

They were 3 for a tanner back then, too!

I usually ride in for my blood donoring but it's piddling down too much to bother so I've had to use the car 😔

Dry so far but overcast and looks like it may rain.
More ferry problems as I got several text messages at 10 o'clock last night telling me the MV Loch Frisa was off all morning today as broken down again. No idea what the problem is but they are waiting on an engineer.
I do not expect to be travelling for another couple of weeks so just keep my fingers crossed.
I have collected a tick I think which has fastened in a most inconvenient spot right at the top of my bum crack. Cannot easily see it and reaching with the tick tweezers is probably impossible for me.
Situations like this is where a wife comes in handy but since I no longer have one I may have to get a nurse to remove it.
Best leave it for a day or two just to be sure it is a tick. I did go offroad a bit on my trike yesterday and it may have fastened on to the underside of the seat from the long grass. They do move remarkably fast and could easily have climbed up through the seat mesh.

I'm in the Blood Donoring waiting room and the nurse has just called Jack Reacher in.... Looks nothing like the bloke on the tele, that's all I can say! 😂
