I have come to the conclusion that there are no people left in Belgium, thats because they all arrived here in France a few days ago. Lots of pale skinned blokes dressed in team this and that kit with lights on their helmets and flashing ones at the rear of expensive looking bicycles . It must have come as a bit of a shock to them that the roads around here go up before they go down. Lots of cyclists in the lowest of their low gears struggling to rise to the challenge

Kids need new cycling shorts and my son new SPD shoes. Wife decides we'll go to Decathlon. We go. There is absolutely nothing on the shelves for kids. Very little for adults. A couple of top end Van Rysel bikes in stock and the odd tyre and cassette. And that was it. Three aisles of empty shelves and arms.
Plenty of yoga and other sports stuff though (but to be fair I wasn't looking too closely at other sports stuff).

What does it normally do? Play music? recite sonnets?

Indeed, an anniversary - the day I lost my hero and mentor in a motorsport accident that was esentially an avoidable clusterfark. And after 29 years, it doesn't get any easier.
My Sympathies @Reynard: I wasn't aware you knew him personally.

I didn't, though I wish I did. It's one of my biggest regrets. But I looked up to him (as you do when you're in your mid teens) and was inspired to get into engineering because of him. Not just because of the racing, though that was a big part of it, but also because of what he did off the track as well; he was a talented engineer, welder and fabricator as well racing driver.
I know his older brother, albeit not terribly well - our paths haven't crossed for some years now, but we do have mutual friends and know a lot of the same racing people generally.

Time for a 
and two paracetamol.
Baked rice pudding with blueberry compote for supper here tonight. I am much in need of some comforting stodge that is easy to cook.
