I had a massive thunderstorm yesterday, which ended just as I started work, (which is outside and mainly on a bicycle Saturdays). A friend of mine gave me an old, rusty Follis 072 frame he had gotten for the Stronglight crankset, and I took Mrs. GA to the movies. Today is starting out with thunderstorms as well. We has 1/4 inch of rain yesterday morning, and another 1/2 inch of rain overnight.

Decent exchange rate?

I was there too for few days last week, staying in Shanklin. I was a bit sad to see how run-down some places seemed, lots of closed-down shops, and nothing much except tea rooms and tatty gift shops.

We went in to Ventnor which was a bit like that . We just stayed on the beach at Shanklin before moving on to Bembridge .
The roads were well surfaced, unlike around here which must be designed to prevent people from falling asleep. I can't remember seeing litter lying at the side of the roads either .
We enjoyed our stay, it was a shame we didn't stay longer .

A bunch of drunks?

Obviously.

We have had a very large sporting event in Leeds today,closed roads which was brilliant so quiet,the riders all of them came up and down Stonegate Road,some lovely bikes owned by the general public.Only bad thing was,talking to the stewards how much abuse they took from drivers who seem to think they are so important the roads should not be closed to them,well the signs have been up more more than two weeks,or do you drive with your eyes closed.

Am doing a spot of baking for a dear friend's special birthday tomorrow.

The bread should go well with the nice cheeses I bought for her pressie.

I feared I'd already promised to take Mrs. GA to the show, and she's the person to take, as she gets all the deals, and buys tickets online, and is hilariously funny in her own right.

Good God Man! Ice cream within a flake within a sundae? Britain must have some standard of living. I should borrow my friend's kayak and paddle over that way.

How geeky can you get ?
I am watching Sky at Night programme and their expert just described how to find the planet Jupiter. First look for some obscure star system and then find a particular star and from there you should be able to find Jupiter.
My method. Look for a large bright star with four tiny dots forming a line through it .

I had a tornado warning interrupt my watching of Detectorists earlier. All right now, though. I have a radio that goes off with a constant beeping until I press a key on it and hear the reports. Very handy, although FEMA also texts me as well at the same time. The warning was for just south of my position, but I did get some terrific winds and rain for a bit. There were no tornadoes, but it has stormed most of the day.

I can't wait for how to find the Sun .
