Fish and chips tonight. Bring on the mushy peas 😋

The water butt down the side of our house is empty after watering the veggie plants tonight .
An evening cuppa and fake custard cream went down well whilst listening to tonight's bickering session

You haven't been anywhere near Ilkley Moor, have you?

Nah, the nearest he got were the YTV studio's where they film Emmerdale.

Supper was cold sliced ribeye steak, triple cooked chips and stir-fried spinach with chilli and sesame.

The cricket listening is not going well.

I see this on the train. Don't really know what it is but suspect it would be a pricey piece of kit as a lot of tech on it.

A £1,000 for a bike that isn't road legal. A bit on the pricey side.

Not forgetting it looks total pants.

No, the cricket has NOT gone well.

Still, it's better than listening to politicians...

How is not legal - its restricted to 25km/h (15.5mph)

Rear hub is 500w, not 250w.

Rear hub is 500w, not 250w.

Good point, although the makers web site says 400W not 500W. Looks like it should fold but doesn't

Particularly for the blue badge ancients.
A return by car Craignure/Oban costs me £24 which makes a day trip feasable. Trouble is the ferries are so cluttered with touroid it is virtually impossible to get bookings. This morning I could not get bookings for travel on my preferred days a month in advance. I could take a trike but the streets in Oban are not trike friendly unless I did a 100 yard bit of illegal pavement riding.

I was very happy with £4.60 each way to get to Arran. I couldn't book a return as I had sailed from Ardrossan and it suited me better to go back to Troon on the return. There definitely was spare capacity going to Troon as there were only a few cars.

The only plus point is that it comes with a second battery, from the manufacturer.

Complained to Walls. Their Magnum packs do not declare allergies other than it seems nuts. Some admit to being an allergy free but that it is not the way labelling works.

The first of this year's cockchafers has been dealt with.
