Tar and chip is the work of Satan Hate it when they cover a nice smooth road with it. It usually starts breaking up again within months anyway then becomes even more horrible.

Tell me about it. Fen roads are prone to cracking and subsiding because they're not built on terribly solid foundations (it's mostly peat here, so expands and contracts according to how wet or dry things are) and they just try and fix the roads by pouring that over the cracks. And a few weeks later, we just have new cracks.

Not so bad when you're driving a car, but the cracks are the width of a road bike tyre. You don't want to get your wheel stuck in one of those. DAMHIKT...

Although they've finally done a proper repair job on Downham Common after several years of filling up the wonky bits.

Got out on the MTB. 20 miler keeping clean'ish'. Needed to do it before I murdered my son - Police letter arrived yesterday - been to an illegal car meet and has been caught doing a burn out on a public road. Don't know about the cops taking his keys, I think I will. He is likely looking at a ban TBH. Poss Tot

Don't be too hard on him, we all did naughty stuff when we were young....he'll learn especially if he gets points and a ban, not to mention what his next insurance premium will set him back

Considering the number of injuries 'his dad' has received from poor driving, you'd think he wouldn't be stupid. Thing is, he 'nearly' hit people, and given everyone has phone cams, he can't argue it wasn't him. I fully support the police - he'll be lucky with points. I can see the cops getting everyone that was doing silly stunts.

Still drizzling here.

Had a lovely lunch of an egg mayonnaise sandwich, half an avocado, a satsuma, half a punnet of blueberries and two

Sunny but breezy by the coast.

Now I really like that @Andy in Germany - that would make a really fabby poster or print, you know. Could definitely see that hanging on my wall.

Thanks @Reynard. It'd need some considerable tidying up though: that was just a sketch that grew a bit. Maybe I'll make another version when Tinybug wants another "drawing session".

In other news, you've gone and got me writing again...

What a gorgeous B Collie.

Wife keeps muttering about getting a dog, might have to see to the boundaries first.

She's a red border Collie, the others in the litter were normal black and white and a blue Merle. She's nearly 10 now.

My poor wife turns 50 next weekend. She's already started getting the over 50's post and emails. I got it last year
