They don't count if you cycled to the shops.

I did. Wheeeeeeee!!!

The other night, I dreamed I had gotten a digital SLR camera, but last night I dreamed I found it was a film camera, after all.
I wound up dismayed by a non-existent imaginary camera,that turned out to be less than expected, in my dreams.

Aaaargh, I *hate* dreams like that...

Well, it was here this morning, so grass cutting has to be put back... *again*

On the upsides, I made some Filet Americain for lunch

I did have a so-so night's sleep, but I did have a weird dream involving a sketch pad, a bottle of fizzy orange pop and a certain racing driver. I can understand the sketch pad and the racing driver, but I don't drink fizzy pop...

You will walk past a fizzy pop display, near the exit/entrance, the next time you enter and go "yellow stickering"

You or the veg?

I may have been a touch 'Marinated'

I was wondering that myself.

I may have been a touch 'Marinated'

Could you taste the beans?

P.S. Peppermint tea is very good at settling a dicky tum.

An underappreciated aspect of peppermint tea. People here recommend camomile, but I find Peppermint works better and tastes marginally less repellent.

I've found a campsite a few metres from where I'm applying for a job. All I have to do now is borrow a tent and I'm set for the two days I have to work there...

So, campsite booked. Ticket selected, "Pay" button clicked; computer "Error" message sworn at, process restarted; payment successfully made.

I've booked local trains this time so I have a bit more space to take the Xtracycle: with a tent I think I'll need it.

Yep they were lush, straight from plant to sink>chopping board>saucepan> plate in about 20minutes, they're also a 'stringless' variety so you can just slice them.

EDIT - I should mention that the veg that the Pork was roasted on was not for eating but for gravy stock making after the meat was removed to 'rest' the veg and remaining liquor were boiled up (with the addition of another pint of Cider)

This actually makes the Gravy one of the most expensive (per serving) items of the meal but Grand-Daughter #3 approved.

How big a tent are you taking?

 

[Andy in Germany]

How big a tent are you taking?

Right now it's about 40cm by 30cm by 15cm.

And you require more space, for that.

 

[Andy in Germany]

And you require more space, for that.

That plus work stuff: my heavy work clothes and my S3 class safety boots don't squish down like a pair of trekking trou' and Birkenstock sandals would. If I was staying in a hotel that would be all, but I need to get those plus tent/roll/bag etc into the bike too.

Ignite blue touch paper and retire.

Ah, nothing beats a good after a nice

Based on my observations during my ride this afternoon, I think it is time to fit a snorkel and flippers to my cycling attire.

But carbon, alloy, titanium or double butted steel snorkel. How can I tell which is best
