Truly awful morning here with strong winds and torrential rain. Morning perambulation postponed until further notice due to inclement weather conditions.

[Illaveago]

after what has been said today I'm going on a personal boycott of anything American - they can all feck off


in other news, far more positive and uplifting news - this weeks cycling was completed this evening (all 126.3 mile of it) so I'm on holiday until Sunday when it all starts again - 3 whole days with no bike

Yes I'm with you.
Who would want to do a trade deal with them on their terms?

No sleep, way to busy in the unit. The other chap had a bulging disk so was wheeled away to a normal ward before he can go home.
Got my first cuppa of the day and breakfast is on the way. Poor chap next to me is nil by mouth (more back problems) until his MRI, and the other two of us will be tucking into breakfast.

Pan on the hob with leaf tea, milk, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, pepper, ginger and sugar. Need to let it simmer for a bit.

Really needs buffalo milk and a starry sky somewhere east of Karachi.

I think I'm going for a ride
But this requires checking the weather, via the closed curtains.
That's quite hard when bed is so warm and comfy.

Further news will follow.

Another very good evening of music (She Drew the Gun) and beer (Kirkstall Judicious) followed by a brisk walk back to the hotel for a mug of hot chocolate and a bag of crisps.

In traditional Yorkshire style it's raining.

Judicious is a rather enjoyable not-too-serious beer.

Us cyclists are as 'hard as fk' apparently. Ortho consultant has been in and said 'I've heard all about you, you must be as hard as nails'. I said 'erm just a typical cyclist'. Well, 'hard as fk' he said.

Good morning from a 7th floor hotel room in Leeds. Today's view is looking down onto the Kirkstall Road (rather than up it for the past couple of visits) and across to a building site for yet more flats.

A grey and damp start to the day thanks to more overnight rain and I'm having the usual post breakfast rest before walking into and around town and then getting the train home.
