Not surprised as it was cold enough here .
Hope you enjoyed it?

Indeed we did, thanks. Daughter & I love a decent walk!

I'd need to have ordered a double for that to happen I guess.

These Scots are canny with their measures

Irish are more generous with their measures.

Dynamite?

Would work, but would it remain in one piece.

I think that was one of those days where you question your sanity and consider a taking up a different hobby, like Ludo or watching Coronation Street.

Mostly very stormy and often very wet, I completed over 70 miles at an average of 8.8mph! Many long low gear drags into headwinds. I was the only passenger on the ferry to Jura in both directions and waves were basically washing over the open deck.

I had lovely fish and chips in the café on Jura where I was the only customer but it's a long way to go for dinner!

I see a Pashley in the bike shed at the hostel. Accy must be here!

Pub measures in Scotland used to be bigger than England but no recent experience. The pub was probably English run anyway.

Early start today to get a ferry back home. Mixed weather.
Been summoned to a funeral on Wednesday. I hope I can remember how to knot my black tie.
Wildlife pal phoned me and when I explained my car problems he said he would come to pick me up as he is going anyway.

I wonder if it went to Fairford?

I'm baking a Banana Cake with the two bananas that spent the day in our back-packs on yesterday's nippy walk and had turned the best shade of black: perfect for the recipe.

Good morning from another bright and sunny start to the day in Suffolk. The first coffee of the day has been had as I'm up and about early (for me) as I'm off to Snetterton in about half an hour for the truck race meeting. I may take a bike and have a slow ride across to Attleborough and back during the lunch break.

I joke but the measures in this pub are the same 35ml we get at home. Over the years I have seen ones use 25ml.

My gripe is with the glass which is designed in such a way that it's nearly impossible to drink out of it!
