Morning.
It was a bit foggy first thing this morning . It is now bright and sunny.
I went out for a 13 mile cycle ride with my friends last night. It was a bit grey when we set off but it brightened up later .

2nd recovery ride, back fine, still a bit of discomfort from the left hip, but that is susceptible since the motorbike accident 40 years ago. Whilst I've not been riding I fitted a Suntour SP12 seatpost like I have on the ebike, it's moved the seat 25mm back & has transformed the bike, it's always seemed twitchy on the front & almost impossible to ride no handed as the slightest upper body movement would have to make a grab for the bars, now it's solid rode 1/2 mile without hands round corners, much improved.

Edit:- Just seen on ridewithgps I have just topped 1000 miles this year

Morning all. Looks like being a warm & sunny day - perfect for a trip to the seaside.

In which case I'm going to have to get into Felixstowe for food shopping soon before all the day trippers arrive.

I can get the chicken entrails, who has a divining rod spare?

Cannot help you there, but I do know what "pinking" is!

Just back from a 5 mile shakedown ride
Time to start thinking about work i suppose

What happens when you finish thinking about it?

Temperatures are forecast to be 40c plus for the next few days .....its an ill wind etc. l can make some sun dried tomatoes and bottle them in olive oil .

Go for another ride to clear your head ?

Excellent strategy!

Tis a good thing that my Slack is made of fabric and not something that would melt in this heat.

I can park my reclining garden chair in the shade of a giant Berberis "tree" which also happens to be in the path of a pleasant breeze coming off the Malverns.

Vintage ?

You mean it might be worth more now!

Thought you said there was no wind.

Nothing more than a metaphorical mix to add piquancy to my tomatoes

I've been out in the garden trimming our hazelnut bush which has shot up this year. We then had to cut up what I had cut off to put into our compost bin.
We have come in now as it is getting too hot out .
There are a lot of boos busy in our lavender .

Does it alter the taste much then, an ill wind?
