Ouch. At least he's moving about and mostly okay though.

Can't post the image from the work's PC, but the radar definitely shows wet, not sweaty

I really enjoyed a very leisurely sixty miles today in glorious sunshine and untrafficked roads on my Soviet three speeder.

My right hand pedal has started to make the noises of a mechanical device in pain.

Tomorrow is going to be stupidly hot then absolutely kersplüschen it down from about 21:00, while Thor is going to have a party over our village.

That's a rather loose translation but it gives you an idea. I just hope the heavy stuff sticks to the schedule so I can get home unscathed.

In other news, I appear to have left my bike lock in the Xtracycle, which is about 300k away now.

It's making a break for freedom, by itself.

I think my pedal might be worn out and FUBAR. It's only 38 years old. Nothing lasts these days

If you don't mind them being a bit lumpy and misshapen... They taste alright though.

In a hurry to get to the pork pie shop before it closed, was he?
