A more productive day than most. I rebuilt the Sturmey hub in the 700c wheel with long axle from my deceased Record roadster so I will be able to use it in the 135 mm dropouts of my Raleigh Pioneer and make it more usable around here here.

I did about a thirty mile ride in the afternoon. It stayed dry despite the dark, angly looking skies.

Been to see a trad music show and have joined the other volunteers at another trad session in a pub. I have the box office float in my pocket. Best try not to spend it at the bar or get mugged walking home!

Drove down to Alresford to visit Paul's grave. Nearly 4 hours there, three and a half hours back. The M25 is the gift that keeps giving, and the M3 has roadworks nearly halfway to Winchester.

Had the churchyard to myself bar a chap who was trimming back some shrubbery at one end. It was lovely just to sit there in the shade and simply contemplate things.

Am just having some quiet time and a

I was listening to the debate on that on Radio 5 Live whilst driving home this evening.

The republican reaction has been... interesting. In the same way that watching a toddler have a temper tantrum is interesting.

I hope Ms Harris gets the nomination. Here in the UK she comes across as being quietly competent.

Got the shopping done - Lidl in the morning and then Sainsbury's in the afternoon as it's the only place I know that sells Halo Sports Wash (best stuff to use on cycling clothing). .

My Sainsbury's had stopped selling it. Using the last bottle of it I have. Have a bottle of Dettol laundry sanitiser and a tub of non bio laundry capsules to use thereafter.

How right that is. I notice yet another cruise liner arrived last night to disgorge more on to the street. Not just here of course but all over the island and also Oban seems to be getting gridlock on a regular basis.

Cloudy but bright today by the looks of it.
Rain is not forecast so may have a try at a trike run.
Tomorrow looks to be sunny but better to get out today while I can. I could have a look tomorrow at a forest track which was recommended .
A new router is supposed to arrive today in preparation for the change to wire free.

And just like in Tenerife, the main problem isn't caused by the tourists but the greed of the wealthy who own the businesses and accommodation wanting to make more and more money from tourism, with the locals pushed out of the way.

Good morning from Suffolk where summer continues with a cloudy and dull start to the day. Coffee has been had with a second one to follow shortly as I just can't get started today. I wonder if the lack of need for breakfast today has anything to do with the four pack of iced ring doughnuts I scoffed last night which were picked up on yellow sticker while in Sainsburys?
