I'm up!! (Just thought I'd steal that )

Another hot and steamy August day here in Hongkers, 715am and the temp is already 28c.

Gym day, chest and shoulders. Then pick up a parcel from the PO. After that, some schoolwork. I've got to rejig my P3 year schedule.

A rather fruitless evening trying to locate some specific issues of Autosport in my plethora of boxes. I'm giving up and going to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Interesting, I have always read it as sounding like

'Noon - night'

Which is just confusing.. Unless you do
'Night Shift' 😆

My imagination had me thinking that perhaps @Reynard had been a Mother Superior in a previous occupation 🤔😉

I'm up, too, albeit about 6 hours later & 18° cooler.

Bet you haven't got a dog tiddling in the garden, though 😁

Thanks to whoever sent the noisy birds to come and wake me up.
I am off to do a few miles

I don't have a garden.

Or a dog. I'm not allowed.

It could have been a very stupid incident.

Where I live there's a on - street parking. Street is a cul de sac.
I'm happily driving home and there's about 100 yards left when I see a car pulling out of the parking space. Right in front of me. Obviously the driver didn't bother to look at the side mirrors at this time of the day (I was approaching him from behind).
I had a very long couple of seconds to realise that the driver doesn't see me.
Brakes check went well. ✅
I let the car to pull out and and then watched how the driver almost drove into another parked car on the other side of the street.

I found all this situation amusing.

That happened to me the other day but we were much closer . I had to swerve to the other side of the road to avoid a collision! She eventually stopped as she saw me and I got past . It was a good job nothing was coming the other way otherwise there would have been a multiple car pile up .

Morning.
It is sunny and cloudy here at the moment. It looks like we have had rain in the night .

We should be into day 2 of our extra long weekend by the coast in the van. But the heavy rain of weeks ago made the site unusable so our end of summer camp out is off. So yesterday still got up early and went for the day anyway. Today is a catch up day so the rest of the days we can still go for days out. Without worrying about the jobs round the house building up or the fridge looking a bit empty.

Is this a holiday weekend for you lot?

 

[Illaveago]

It seems to be clouding over .
It turned out that I didn't need to swap my bikes over for one with mudguards last night as we didn't get the heavy showers they forecast . At least the bike I swapped over had a Speedo fitted so I could see how far I cycled , 15 miles .
I was a bit achy from the past few days of hedge trimming. The climbing up and reaching over to cut some thick branches affected me later on my ride as I couldn't keep pace with one of my friends and gradually dropped back, about half a mile an hour difference but a gap soon opened up. We eventually caught up with the break away group.

Yes, Monday is a bank holiday.

 

[Titan yer tummy]

Now on visit to Mr Tummy senior in Hampshire.

Travelled by train and bike (mainly by train).

Back to London on Monday

Thunder?

Naah, that's me with an attack of the farts.

Well, whatever you ate yesterday, don't.
