I took the new phone back . It is amazing how new technology can replicate the sound of 2 empty baked bean cans and a piece of string .
My wife went on line and discovered a solution to our BT phone problem . Something to do with a call log thingy being full ! Once that was emptied the thing has been working fine .
I'm expecting a newer arrival later .

awesome ain't it

I can see a tiny patch of blue sky .

Mouse was on the menu for supper last night ! Or so he thought as he brought it into the living room . Luckily it was dead and I managed to take it off him and throw it out on to the back lawn .
Well ! I was about to go to bed at the time .
It just remined me of a time many years ago when a mouse trap went off in the night . I picked up the trap with mouse and put it out of the back door . In the morning the mouse and trap had gone !

I'm having lunch, as I sit looking over at Le Jet d'Eau on Lac Leman. It's un crepe avec jambon et gruyere, and although it doesn't cure the fact that I've been awake for 36 hours, it's fun to eat! Bon appetit...

Sorry, forgot to mention that the weather's perfect: dry and mid to high 20s. How remiss of me to leave that detail out.

I was checking the meteorological readings this morning. A rustling sound attracted my attention to the sound of an animal in the bushes...

I aimed for a short ride (1 hour) yesterday afternoon. 1/2 mile in, I turned round, the clouds were looking increasingly ominous and headed my way. I rode back....it didnt rain . If I'd have kept going, sods law says I'd have got soaked.
Later that afternoon, early evening I thought I'd try again. I stepped I to the garden, I feel rain spots
Ahh well, I'll try tomorrow (now today). I had a good lie In, daughter and SIL came round so that's this morning done.
Son, partner and grandkids arrive at 12.30 for dinner, daughter and SIL are invited too so that's 8 for dinner . Maybe later (6pm ish) for a bike ride, let's see if that can go awry.
Very happy my kiddos and family are coming btw, I love family dinners and afternoons.

Just the Dubai stopover?

I eventually crashed at half three in the morning, then up again at 9. Enjoying the race, plus the BTCC from Croft.

Am being fuelled by along with cheese toasties and chocolate.

It isn't. It's Cornwall.

Cornish spiders ....

Ode to the solar-powered bird-bath fountain:

Saturday, installed in haste
Gloomy clouds then buckets of rain
Oh bird-bath fountain, when will you work?
Sunday came, the anxious wait
Blackened clouds became light grey
Bird-bath fountain inert again
No solar power, just more rain.

You've pulled the little tab out I spose ...

Oh, about 8 dollars US, not bad for the Midwest.

The Bell Lane Fryer in Bodmin came in handy Friday night. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.471...LTGmVFdSQYEScwetxw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1

No, I flew to Geneva via Abu Dhabi, a 13.5 hr then 6 hr flight, and got no sleep, hence the jetlag. Tomorrow I take a TER train from Geneva Cointrin station to Grenoble over 2 hrs, where the B&B owner picks me up for a 1.5 hr drive to the cycling mecca that is Le Bourg-d'Oisans. I stay there 2 wks then the B&B owner of La Tuvière in Jarrier drives me between the 2 towns. La Tuvière is uphill (very much) from St-Jean-de-Maurienne, so that will be challenging for my legs.

Then when it's all over, the La Tuvière owner drives me to Grenoble, and the trip home is the reverse of the trip to the Alps.

Well that was short lived.I had intended to trim my neighbours hedge.So first thing that went wrong,trimmer would not start.The extention cable the brown wire had come out of the holder.So when i had put it back together again,the heavens have opened,all tools back in the garage and the big tool back on here.

Le Mans done and dusted. I can't get the thought out of my head that the puncture / sensor issue on the #7 might have been accidentally on purpose by team management...

Anyways, now time to concentrate on the BTCC meeting from Croft.

I find that the quantity is too much these days so I've saved some for today . The chips are just chipped spuds, nothing fancy but the Cod is large for a normal sized piece. I'd hate to think how big a large piece would be .

A cod is between 2' and 4' long with the largest being 6'.

Would it be easier to cycle there and back. Cut out the flying.
