It's windy and warm here, so I'm going to risk washing the bedclothes.

Don't talk to me about living dangerously...

I’m two hours into a three-hour workout. Unfortunately, I’m having to do it on Zwift as the ridiculous crosswinds outside today would probably have me doing a Chris Froome. Constant pedalling at 85rpm is not nice. But then I’d feel worse if I didn’t do the workout.

Do you ever feel like your own worst enemy?

I've got my flippers and snorkel all ready for this morning's ride.

Summer is wonderful



Are the flippers Shimano compatible?

I cut my planned ride short today. I had an 80 mile loop to the coast planned but it was just too wet and definitely too windy so I'm back here now after a blustery 33 miles and sitting on the sofa eating the sandwiches which I had made for the half way picnic.

It absolutely belted it down with rain overnight. I want a refund on the forecast because it wasn't supposed to. I'd left the window on the landing open, and had to mop up a rather large puddle and dry a soggy rug.

Other than that, I had some milk on the verge of turning, so I'm in the middle of making cheese. The curds are currently dripping out.

And i am listening to Sheffield Utd v Arsenal in the FA Cup

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "That Smells Nice"

I keep these in my smalls drawer...

My body is my temple?

A Chinese temple?

I think I fancy a chinese takeaway.

No problem talking the kids into it.

Just have to work on the Missus.

I now have an ink drawing of a Tyrrell P34.

Been one of those days. Am sitting here struggling to stay awake.

Finally it's raining. The tension all afternoon has been unbearable.

Wait whilst you cycle to work in the morning, in it.

I went out today, and bought a grill/griddle to put on my gas BBQ. It is great. Now I can caramelize onions, and other grilly/griddly type things. Gives kind of a way to brown and sear and caramelize like you cannot with open grating. Cheaper than a frying pan, and more versatile. I made some bratwurst/bacon/cheese patties, caramelized onions for them, then toasted the buns as well. Took about ten minutes.

How's the washing?

 

[Gravity Aided]

Oh, and for the first time since March, I have been able to go to mass. A great many precautions in place.

Wait for what? I'd only get wetter.

(Another post-payday item on the shopping list: a lightweight waterproof jacket)

By the way, am I the only one who likes sitting outside under an overhanging roof and listening to the rain?
