Had a nice bicycular bimble in spite of the hoolie that's rattling through here. Up into Downham and along the Hythe. Had hoped to extend somewhat, but this ride is hilly for this neck of the woods, and my chain kept slipping on the cassette / gearshift had a mind of its own under load. So rather than risk a mechanical, I did an about face and turned for home, which was, thankfully, mostly downhill.
Stopped off at the village hall to vote.
A nice surprise to see they've *finally* installed some bike racks in the car park nearly eight years since I first mentioned it to the committee - sheffield stands with an added wall anchor. Mind you, the friend I go dog walking with now does the hall accounts, and she told me a while back that they had a budget / grant to minimise their impact on the environment. And it seems that she's eventually managed to persuade the right people that installing secure bicycle parking was a worthwhile thing to do. Outside of Ely and Cambridge, the cycling infrastructure around here isn't especially brilliant, and the alternative was either a) wheel your bike into the hall, b) lock it to the bars of the disabled access or c) prop it up against a wall and take a chance that it's still there when you come back.
After voting, went to check the book exchange. Good job I had a bike with luggage (Wiggy #2, the Chartres hybrid), as I ended up wobbling home with a full pannier of books.

Evening cuppa and washing up done
Time to relax and how can it be Friday tomorrow?
Time to relax and how can it be Friday tomorrow?
Just called into out local tescos they are moving everything around. Not sure why some things are now with other things. The flow is a bit lost but having not seen the full store lay out and sales plan. It's hard to see that they are trying for. A few things are also being delisted so stocked up on biscuits for Mrs 73 snap for work. The packs of shortbread will go away for Christmas it's well in date. Vinto cardinal was on club card not had it for years. So having a treat be nice made up with the lemonade I also got.
Horrible windy day. Put the washing out at lunchtime and every hour rearranged its wind blown nature. Still it dried quickly. Wind finally started abating around 6 but still the odd howl to be heard. So a combined vote and Sainsbury's shop by car. Managed to open up my universal tv remote which is in need of a new battery pack. Then checked the tracking of the new battery to find that is coming from the Netherlands. Hopefully no problems unlike the ebikes.

So, I voted early and then picked up my daughter and the 2 grandkids whose school was acting as a polling station for a day on the Kent coast. We had lunch at The Botany Bay Hotel which was doubling as a polling station. The salmon linguine got my vote.

Had a jacket potato topped with a mix of chopped gammon, chopped turkey, sweetcorn and mayonnaise. Very nice it was too. Could've done with a bigger potato, but I'm aware that I'll be up most of the night and dipping into a selection of snacky stuff.
There's still enough of the topping to pop into a sandwich for tomorrow's luncheon.

It’s gone a bit black over head wonder if it’s a sign of things to come
Can we hurry up and get to the exit poll I’m bored now.
Just under three quarters of an hour to go. Enough time to have a power nap, make some tea, grab some snacks and then settle in for what's going to be a loooooooong night.

Not illegal, but Tellers have no right to ask for, or demand your details. Or your voting intentions.Not sure that is legal I seem to remember there was a distance rule and you could only ask after they had voted. Why not just tell him you are voting for the candidate least likely to win.
Any information you give them is on a purely voluntary basis.

Room for expansion at a later date, as and when required. Possibly without having to buy a second one.No, way too big. I'm wanting one of those plastic semi-rigid report covers / binders with a capacity for around 100 to 150 sheets of paper. A springback binder would do it, but they are pushing £20 for one the right size
I actually have two springback binders which I got as freebies way back when, but they are already occupied with manuscripts that have far more pages in them than the photograph catalogue. Swapping those around to accommodate the catalogue document would make the problem worse...
