Evening cuppa went down well.
Meant to be viewing a bike tonight but the seller has gone back on her word and sold it to someone else 😭

Boyracers are busy driving repeatedly around the block again.

What exciting stories they must have to tell.

Our hedge is doing it's best to soak up all the extra CO2. It has rocketed in size again this year.

Which cold drinks do people on here like in this hot weather? I am looking for suggestions.

I have been drinking ginger ale (Schweppes) and lemonade (Asda). Also I try to drink plenty of chilled, not cold, water. Lots of fizzy drinks are too sweet for my liking.

Tea, warm.

I forgot to mention I also drink chilled Peroni, usually the zero alcohol one.

I wouldn't drink that.
Choose something you don't normally drink.

Day 1 of the Kirkpatrick C2C done in horrendous weather; heavy rain for most of the day and strong winds.

Some of the route, particularly around the Gatehouse of Fleet, was not suitable for 25mm tyres on overgrown forest trails.

One photo as it's been pouring down:

Oh, and I also mis-judged today's distance so have done almost 100 miles instead of the 85 I thought it would be. Ah well, less to do to the end although tomorrow is a tough day to Hawick.

Dinner in the only place doing sit-down meals in Dumfries was nice.

I'm staying in a shepherd's hut near Dumfries, and it's a bit basic.

Erranding completed earlier.

The impromptu yellow stickerage in Tesco yielded 3kg of grapes, a pack of lamb neck, a cauliflower, four baguettes, two sliced bloomers and 20 croissants.

Tea, toast, cheese, chutney and fruit for supper.

That has actually been done when we rose up to object to MacBrayne closing our main pier as it took an hour off their sailing time to Tiree.
We failed to restart the sailings but the pier remains and is used and maintained.
My part was as an apparent drunk wanting to catch a ferry which had predictably turned away. Along with others I jumped off the pier and swam after the ship. Somebody on board had thrown a suitcase overboard and jumped after it so the skipper took fright and refused to go any further. There were safety boats of ours hovering around so no real danger.
With the changes in population that would never happen nowadays and they would just wring their hands and wail a bit now.

I am impressed.

Gatorade? Mrs. GA seems to like it.

It isn't that big is it ?

If you mean the proposed sofa, there was a discrepancy between the sizes shown online and on the shop display boards, so I took the tape measure to confirm which was correct. The good news is that I have identified 3 models that will slide through the doors with no problem, have 180cm+ snoozing room and are around the same price. Is it wrong that I also took an offcut of the new carpet to comapre against the instore sofa fabric swatches?

(I've just realised how boring/old that makes me sound!)
