I have an aversion to riding in the wind. It's just too noisy, for a start. That's before taking the wind into account: in any out-and-back journey there's only a 2% chance of a tailwind at any stage of the ride.

What the hell.... 10 miles planned, long sleeve jersey, just down to the sea front and back

Got a pack of burgers and sausage from the local Glengorm Estate. No invoice and no payment instructions so far. Payment is probably by bank transfer but no account info given. They know me anyway as the owner was one of my wife's school pupils at one time.
A common problem is that everything is packed and frozen on the assumption that there are two or more people in the household so the freezer will be shortly getting loads of cooked burgers and sausage.
One return to the old days is that the custom of handing parcels into the local service bus has resumed.
If you have something to go to say Fionnphort which is 60 miles away just hand it to the driver with instructions and it gets transferred at Craignure and arrives at the destination the same day.

I've had breakfast. Awful night, lack of sleep, great deal of pain and discomfort from the knee, [osteoarthritis] really being a pain in the, well, knee! Two coffees, waiting for Postie in the hope that my replacement Hope jockey wheels arrive.
Managed to get the pedals off and cleaned & re-greased.

Bit bored now.

Just back, glorious sunshine but very windy 11 miles done, took a couple of photos, small tree down and the Tower of Refuge

Drooling at the prospect of sirloin steak, jacket potato, walnut and blue cheese salad for tea.

I awoke to the new roof of our outdoor sitting area on the front drive, he'd arrived, delivered & gone by 7:15, not sure what time he started but if they came from where I bought then they are 100 miles away.

Pidgeons just have had a diarrhoea competition. On my car.

 

[EltonFrog]

I forgot to mention, yesterday I tidied the shed, and hung things up with new nails and rubber bands I made by cutting old inner tubes.

It's windy out there @dave r

I know, I've put in 54 miles this morning, hard graft and I didn't seem to get a tail wind at any point.

Spent the morning doing the pusual puttering.

Plus I've loaded the slow cooker with lamb neck, onions fried in the dripping from the steak, copious amounts of garlic, swede, carrots, celery, some stock plus mint, oregano, bay and rosemary.

Have had lunch, and now I'm about to go continue with Operation Haircut on the forsythia.
