Scrub the bike ride. It started belting down with rain while I was having my lunch.

When the corporation dust cart got to me it was full up to the brim.
The driver fell in backwards and found he couldn’t swim
He sank to the bottom just like a little stone.
Then started singing home sweet home
I laid him on my wheel barrow then laid him on bed.
I punched him in the belly with a red hot jelly and this he what he said
It ain’t going to rain no more no more it ain’t going to rain no more.
Father Christmas lost his britches behind the bedroom door


Before anybody says it that’s a load of rubbish 🗑🗑😀😀😀

Spike, Spike is that you?

String is a
Very important thing
Rope is thicker
But string is quicker.

The rain has stopped. Dare I go for a bike ride?

The rain has started.

In other news, the pop up crane business has folded and is now nowhere to be seen.

Quite possibly, and let's not mention that I will never, ever sell my Raleigh M-Trax, which is now approaching its first quarter century.

Or for that matter that said bike lives inside the apartment so it doesn't get wet in the night...

Soggy Wiggy and soggy Reynard.

I took a chance. The heavens opened two miles from home.

P.S. I took the Chartres as it's got mudguards. So at least my feet and derriere stayed dry.

I was walking back from the supermarket and there is a big pool of standing water next the kerb which drivers were avoiding except tosspot taxi driver who came through it at full speed and the resultant bow-wave has left me (and my groceries) wetter than I can ever remember being. I hope he rots and burns in hell

But you've a good excuse now for a lovely hot bath or shower, then fleecy jimjams and a hot chocolate.

Anyways, it's time I went and fed the cats, and then it's time to feed me.

Sausages, mash, onion gravy and whatever veggies I can be bothered to rustle up. Tonight is an evening for comforting stodge.
