[Illaveago]

We have had some bits of blue sky and warm sunshine . It has made the Dragonflies get excited . 2 that were sheltering in the pond this morning have flown off . Even the one which I placed underneath the trees which I thought had gone but had only moved to another branch has gone . The one in the greenhouse has disappeared . And 2 new ones have appeared from the pond .
I think the total is now up to 8 .

Busy morning running errands.

Although a quick duck into Tesco yielded a job lot of cheese on YS: brie, old amsterdam, parmesan, goat's cheese, edam and red leicester.

Need to sort out my stewarding kit for tomorrow.

Just washed the Xtracycle and commuter bike in the hope of a ride alone or with Elder Son tomorrow. Expect reports of extremely localised apocalyptic weather conditions around Stuttgart for the next week or so.

June Spencer, the actress who has played Peggy Woolley (formerly Archer) in The Archers since the start in the 1950s, is 100 today.

It looks like I'll be riding solo tomorrow as Elder Son wants to spend the day with his girlfriend (Honestly, young people today, et c...).

The plan was to ride to Tübingen again like last week, and push on about 10-15k to Rottenburg am Neckar, the next big town, so I know the route for the Imperial century which was planned for next week.

Except that I've just worked out the route and Map My Ride says it is almost 140km to Rottenburg a. N.

An imperial century is 160k, a mere 20k further...

161, or as near as makes no difference. You'd have come up short.

The village I'd already planned to use as the 'Turning point' is 165k. As an added plus there's an interesting railway junction there.

I was trying to spare you the details but I'd forgotten the sort of people that post on here...

A break in my sister's chemo meant we were able to have a quiet family gathering to belatedly celebrate her 50th. She enjoyed just sitting back and letting the family chatter wash over her.

You plan on doing 330 kilometres?

You're not planning on being on the tops during this ride.

I'm not thinking before writing, that's the problem.

One of the problems anyway.

If I turn around at the village of Eyach, I'll ride a total of 165k there and back, this being 4k over the 161 required for an imperial century.

This is of course if I can be bothered. I may turn around in Rottenburg a. N. and leave the century for another day, as it were.

I'd call that "pretty good news" frankly. Congratulations to your sister, on both counts...
