Wasn't that Athena, who sprang fully formed from the head of Zeus?

No it is definitely a baby !

Well that`s a bummer! I woke up at 0530!
Still, I have an early phone appointment with the doctor so I`ll drink tea for a couple of hours.

I'm awake most mornings between half four and half five, which is a bit of a sod as I'm retired and don't need to get up, I usually get up about quarter to seven when my Good Ladies carer arrives.

Moving on from Kirsch-Kursk: I watched the first episode of Polish crime drama called Kruk after the football. (It's called Raven in English. It's also confusing as it bounces between 2 time lines.)

Morning.
It is nice and sunny here. I've put our rubbish bin out .
It would be a nice day to pop to the seaside but we have a planned walk around our town this afternoon .
I can look forward to shortening 2 aluminium tubes which go at the foot of the stair ladder we bought. They are too wide to fit between our stairs . I wonder if I can fit a ride in later ?

Bin's have bin emptied.

I've just been messaged to say that my delivery will arrive around midday. This should mean that I might get to meet up with a citizen of this parish later in the afternoon. And there might still be sun!

Meanwhile, my daughter can't get her 2nd jab because someone appears to either have impersonated her or there's been some kind of ''clerical error'', as we used to call them.

Yes.

But Greek mythology is decidedly weird at the best of times anyway. Venus was born from sea foam...

if that occurred now it would have been shaving foam

I ain't having a lot of luck, last month car gets written off, and ordered a new battery for my trike £400 and the transaction is now fraudulent, had to fill an online report in, but told it can take up to 10 working days to complete, I feel pig sick, why can't people just leave me alone.

Fill yer cones! (Because, quite frankly, boots would be uncomfortable.)

Lovely day outside in Yorkshire but I'm sat inside partaking in a course validation.

Stuck in Teams meetings until at least 1:30 - late lunch and a bike ride. Was sunny, now overcast.

Still chasing the click from the left pedal on my old MTB. Seems to come back after a few miles, but it's got quieter. Got the screwdriver out and the left pedal's screws for foot plates on the SPD weren't super tight unlike the right - got a good turn out of all 8 (both sides). Another test ride later !

 

[Gravity Aided]

Raining here, seems like it has come to stay. I wonder what the dry season will be like? Usually July to September.

It's well known that having relatives back for refreshments after a funeral causes teaspoon reduction.
