Not if he spends it as quickly as I do with my winnings. Already accounted for £30 of my £100 with a ticket to see The Mission at Norwich Waterfront

On Spring Watch tonight they mentioned an insect survey where people are asked to count the number of dead insect squashed on their car number plates .
I thought that we could do our bit by counting how many insects we swallow whilst out on a ride .

Definitely swallowed one, got one in the eye and hit a couple of Garibaldi's* worth around the head.

*Standard insect counting measure.

I'm glad I wasn't on shift or near those tomatoes.. Must have been a plum job cleaning those up!

Today I met Martin Hole in the flesh, the first British stranger I have met in over a year. He was filling up his van in town which is a spit away from the A10 and was traveling to "paint his mates gaff" near Limoges. HTF he managed to leave the UK and enter France I do not know and was not about to ask as he annoyed me greatly.
He was Martin Hole, there is little need to go into the mans comments other than his smugness at having secreted his sandwiches and pies from the customs bods.
Had it not been for my friend shouting abuse at me in English from the passenger window of my car as I fueled up he would not have buttonholed me.
Edit to clear up obscure name, Martin Hole, Bellamy's people.

I tried a new wood chisel sharpening method yesterday. The You Tube clips all ended with people triumphantly using their sharp tools to shave the hairs from their forearms.

I just had a stubborn hair, still standing proud, and a few bloody gashes.

Morning.
It is a bit grey here this morning.
I have a cycle ride planned for 10.30 . I will try to remember to count how many insects I may encounter on the ride .

So far no insects have been harmed in this post .

Good morning. Weather is a mixed bag, but thankfully not as hot as yesterday.

Beautiful Daughter heard myself and a friend plotting a bike tour for the summer, and now she's set an ambitious target for a ride today.
