D*mn. Just had to rescue something from the balcony and by the time I'd closed the door the living room floor was sprayed with hailstones. There are some 1cm diameter hailstones about 5m inside the dining room.

By the way there's a 1.5m overhang on the roof at this point, and a concrete barrier on the balcony about 80cm high so the hailstones must be coming practically horizontally.

Tornado coming? About the only time I've seen horizontal hail.

Storm approaching: Thunder, lightning, torrential rain and hail.

Just heard the first chunks hit the Skylight.

For what we are about to receive...

And you managed to do the printing as well.

Interesting day's riding today. My three gears weren't the right gears today. Had a walk a hill. Also overtaken on a climb by someone who looked about 20 stone. In my defence she was riding a very expensive looking e-bike.

On the plus side I overtook a couple on alloy road bikes

Love that,i also have had bikes with the wrong gearing,or maybe just maybe my legs are s===.Got to say the bike is rolling better with the 25c Marathon Greenguard on.

Well done! MTBs take a bit extra effort (probably why I prefer my Adventure bike!).

A good day's racing from Thruxton, very entertaining. Won't spoiler just in case @Jenkins hasn't watched any of it it yet.

Now sitting back with a and a sneaky late night bag of crisps.

It wasn't first over the line that won?

AFAIK all the results stand. Just don't want to spoil what those results were.

Although the "naughty boy" flags came out a fair few times for track limits. But that's racing drivers for you - give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

That'd put them well outside track limits.

Unless it's at Rockingham...

Just racing drivers?
