Exam board this morning, followed by a short ride.

The highlight of the day's been my son getting a nice 'thank you' from Velo UK for loaning his bike out on Sunday's CiCLE Classic.

If you are watching the TdF. The way in which the Peloton riders are massed together is the same way that the workers of the main employer in my town left the factory at lunch time back in the 60's. Obviously the workers weren't wearing lycra in those days!
They would stop the traffic in the same way though .

In those days there was very little motorized traffic
to stop.

A nice luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, some rilletes de porc, a good lump of squishy Chaource cheese, a banana, a nectarine, some cherries and two

Just letting that tamp down, and then I'm taking the mower for a perambulation around the garden.

 

[Reynard]

I sent one from here. We've had enough of them.

Share and share alike, I guess...

Although I'm not sure @Andy in Germany would agree...

Apparently there is a football match on the telly later.

 

[rockyroller]

All ready for sampling

thank you, what will you have?

 

[rockyroller]

I've just cleaned the screen on my tablet.
Can you see me better now ?

yes, but I can't hear you anymore!

 

[Oldhippy]

Pardon.

 

[rockyroller]

TdF

thanks for the heads up! I do like to watch some of it! (we're gonna miss Shark Week due to vacation this year)

The house next door is having its exterior painted.

Yes, I heard.
Apparently, they've taken Crossroads off so people can watch it!

 

[Reynard]

Grass cut.

Now sat with a and some chocolate biskits.

And the footy on the telly.

 

[Kempstonian]

This that save?

No, this is one they got right! Lloris making a similar save (but with his other hand).

Try to keep up mate!

Fashions in collecting come and go, don't they? With silver at 60-ish pence a gramme, you do have to be realistic.

Guess I'm lucky because my tastes aren't conventional - whether that's motor racing memorabilia or jewellery. Although in this case, I just wanted something to wear every day.

I've got a replica Bronze Age torc which I made at Devises Museum years ago . They sometimes ran Saturday courses. I've also got a bronze axe and dagger. I haven't finished the dagger.
