The family and I were in the car today as part of the traffic at some road works. A cyclist came by and whizzed past the line of us all stuck in cars. It was rather more than a good five minutes until we passed her.

All I could do was look wistfully as she cycled by - a beautiful day, a gentle breeze, the sun shining and the sound of the bike rolling along. And us, stuck in the car trying desperately not to breathe in the toxic fumes the line off traffic and our car were producing. I know which I'd rather be doing.

My PC was running very slowly earlier. I wondered whether there was a Microsoft update going on in the background.

I think that in my previous life I had a bowler hat, was known as Stanley and had a fat friend.

Always wondered who these two were . . .

Have some beans on toast tonight, and again on the morrow. Should help with the wind. Should you come across another "Belgian on a road bike heading for sunstroke", how fast can you pedal?

Last night, while smelling the decomposing corpse in the floor under my study, I read that dead mice smell for about ten days.
This morning I opened the door and the stink had definitely diminished overnight. I'm no forensic pathologist but I suppose that puts the time of death as sometime early last week when we were away. I think we got lucky!
