Eldest Son agreed to come on a ride to Tübingen with me today. Now I'm trying to get him out of bed.

Decide which to use.

Ooooohhhh...

Not a bad morning.
We had a super day yesterday, bike rides few beers in the very nice sunshine, Chinese and footy..

We have the big Peterborough cycling event this weekend.

11000+ riders doing the Grand Fondo today, roads closed all over the south of Peterborough.
2500 international riders, this event had 5000 riders when it first started about 3-4 yrs ago.

Still trying...

There is a solution to this.

A cupboard full of mugs.

DAMHIKT...

His method does have the advantage of an increasingly thick coating of tea on the inside of the mug.

I've watched an earlier series. But I'm still getting through a Belgian police series that's on channel4's on demand site.

Not a bad way to learn a few phrases of Italian though, is it?

I manage to understand bits of Italian from its closeness to French. It's a very bouncy French, though.

I manage to understand bits of Italian from its closeness to French. It's a very bouncy French, though.

A friend of ours is Rumanian, which fascinates me as a language: he says it is closer to Italian than French or Spanish are.

I can happily listen to him talking with his family for hours without understanding a word.

Elder Son now vertical.

This is my plan preparing for English tea shortages post Brexit: if I keep on like this I won't need tea bags.

Of course the teapot will also be effectively smaller, but you can't have everything...

 

[Andy in Germany]

And we're off. Maybe not to Tübingen though. Will report on return...

 

[biggs682]
