Did you meet the man with seven wives?

The man with seven wives was seen leaving St Ives.

It was almost chilly indoors this morning. I've turned the radiator up to 2.

Out for morning ride. First time wearing anything other than shorts since May.

 

[oldwheels]

Just back from a shopping trip into Oban.
As I was leaving son was setting off on his bike for a run wearing shorts as the weather did not look too bad.
A bit showery on the run in and then found banks of hail on the downhill into town. Got into Lidl just in time to avoid a hail shower of biblical scale but dry when I got back out.
People are generally helpful to me with a couple of sticks but when I made a passing remark about not finding lemon juice the wife of the couple went and searched the store and despite my protestations continued until she found it.
While it is nice of people it can get a bit embarrasing.

Nice slightly damp underfoot walk into town completed

What happened to the nice morning? Now hailstones and trees bent at funny angles. Afternoon ride postponed until further notice. I will give in and use the four wheeled transportation device.

Late morning sun and a corner shop coffee pod return drop off / Aldi trek. 50% luck on couple of items requiring a rummage through other varieties.

Nope. A golf buggy

It's a grey and vaguely chilly day here chez Casa Reynard. Was sunny earlier, but now it's hosing it with rain.

Slept OK-ish. This morning's main task was getting myself to the quack for a flu and covid jab. I'm meant to have them since mum lives with me, but last year there was a bit of a c*ck up thanks to the receptionists refusing to add me to the list. This year, our GP put her foot down and said that I will have them regardless of what anyone else at the surgery says. Our GP is a very lovely and very formidable lady, btw. Didn't feel the covid jab going in, but the flu one didn't half sting! No adverse reaction so far, just feel tired and lightheaded.

Found some more beetroot and some onions in the verge on the way home.

Now watching Arsenal v Chelsea in the WSL. Our defence is decidedly leaky. Whoops!

Almost time for luncheon.

Well here we are our addition.

A nurse a couple of years ago explained to me why the flu needle was a bit bigger than the COVID one but I no longer remember what it was. (Was it that the flu vaccine was drawn in through the needle??)

Anyhow, I had either a very skillful or lucky injectorologist last week and both went in sweetly.

Well here we are our addition.

Many happy miles of memorable motoring.
