Perhaps I should have had a bit more recovery time before going out this morning. Yesterday's 50 miles of Fenland potholes, subsidence and general cr4p roads made saddle time a bit uncofortable for the first few miles.
It was worth it though as I'd only popped out to the main CoOp in Felixstowe to get a loaf of bread and some milk, but they had four remaining 660ml bottles of Staropramen lager on yellow label for £1.35 each.

Never mind the politics...

Georgia v Portugal was a belting game of footy. Had a real whiff of an FA Cup tie about it.

Yeah, you need something an iron undercarriage around here.

Football seems to be happening again tonight.

Three more lots of election bumph delivered this morning - small leaflets from the Greens and Reform and a four page newspaper style pamphlet from the Tories. Good to know something's keeping the Royal Mail and the local recycling people in business.

Nearly dozed off while sitting in the garden with a book this evening as it was just the right side of warm.

Oh yeah, I got one from the Labour Party today.

Had a lovely bicycular bimble, riding a nice loop to Pymoor and back. I spotted a couple more walnut trees, but alas, they're in someone's garden...

From Pymoor yesterday...

Why's the litter bin hiding in the shadow of the postbox?

@Reynard Has Captain Pugwash got his boat unstuck yet!? 🤔 😂

Just like the Ever Given incident done on a smaller scale!

It had forgotten to bring some sunscreen.

Neat I've sheltered there when caught out in the rain many a time.

If you keep left as you see the photo, you meet up with the gravel trail that goes past the fishing lakes at Oxlode (a lovely place to stop under the trees on a hot day) all the way to Mepal along the Hundred Foot - it's a really nice traffic-free ride on a fat-tyred hybrid / MTB.

I came in today via Pymoor Sidings, and went home down O Furlong (past the rec ground). It's a nice loop to do when I don't fancy going terribly far.

I may have done

25 years married today, were going to have a cuppa and light lunch at a cafe in a bit as a small treat as its too warm for a full blown meal and its nice to go anywhere without 2 teenagers in tow .

Happy anniversary!
