My working day completed
10 minutes of one handed weeding done
Curry for tea and it smells scrumptious

I can see this from my bedroom window but not close up obviously. Happened about a couple of hours ago and if the bridge is damaged it could be s long time closed so I could be stuck for getting home.

Just under 15 miles across town and back with few hills or challenges..

Been one if those weeks where something has gone pear shaped at work everyday, but not today. Lawns cut at lunchtime, plants arrived mid afternoon so those to deal with after dinner; did unpack and water. Then immediately post WAH a walk to the country store only to find it shuts at 5.

I love the irony. "The Logistics of Certainty"

I think The Logistics of Certainty is pushing it a bit!!

Looking at a different photo which I did not post as it was not very clear the roof of the trailer was pushed back by 3 or 4 feet leaving the cargo exposed in a v shape.
This happens surprisingly often despite several warning signs which are given as 4.2 metres tho’ the bridge shows 4.3. For some strange reason all the mishaps I know about have been northbound.
Height barriers would at least prevent damage to the bridge which is a big worry for those living north of it.

As an aside I cycled over that bridge when the trains still ran and there was a sentry box and a man with a ticket machine who charged 6p ie 4p for the bike and 2p for me. Somewhere I have a photo if I can find it.

It's been a bit of a challenging day so I've booked tomorrow off; turns out I've not taken any holiday this year and I've a LOT to take before the end of August.

On another note I've managed to superglue several fingers together whilst glueing a cut in a tyre. Clearly I'm cut out to fix the bridge where @oldwheels is above.

Had a lovely luncheon of chicken & mayo on toast, plus an orange, a pear and two

Treated myself to half an hour outside in my camping chair with a book to let my lunch tamp down, and then I spent an hour puttering about the garden, weeding out the strawberries mainly, but I've also stripped some forget-me-not seeds from the plants, as they're very nearly done flowering. They've been flowering since late March, so they've done VERY well this year.

After that, I dusted off Max the MTB and went for a nice bicycular bimble.

I am now sat down with a and a home made biskit.

I had a few left, as I couldn't get the whole batch into the gift box. So they are mine to scoff. Cook's perks. Apparently the box went down very well with the recipient this morning.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Just went and got my first varifocal glasses.
If I look at something through the right point, it's clearer than it has been for months, but everything around it is a bit blurry. It's a very strange experience.

Turns out part of Whitby is playing at being India. They are filling something down on the east pier. All made up to look like docks , we just seen a load of Indian extras. In period Indian workers costume. It’s an Indian film company so not sure what it is.

Evening cuppa ready to go

The USA have just tied a cricket match against Pakistan. 159 apiece. But as ties don't count anymore, they're playing a superover.
