Fish and chips and beer tonight 😄

That sounds tempting. I have all the necessaries in the kitchen.

Might be easier for you if you were like its owner

But you feel you'd be faster, on your bike.

He tends slightly towards exaggeration in his stories, and I doubt he expected me to take the claim seriously: we both know he'd have to be riding at an average of 30mph or 48km/h to cover the distance from his home in 20 minutes. He's also a fairly heavy smoker and looks a couple of decades older than me but that doesn't necessarily mean anything amongst my clients: certain lifestyles take their toll on a body.

Despite that, I didn't say I'd be faster; just that I don't think he can achieve a slightly longer journey in half the time it takes me to get to work.

My main problem on his bike was an inability to reach the pedals all the way around.

Hermes have just delivered my new New Balance trainers.

Oddly, the delivery guy said to me that he had to photograph them in a safe place and me standing at the front door wasn't a safe place so he went around the side of the house, rummaged around in the recycling, put the package amongst the recycling and took a photo. Apparently recycling is a safe place!

Am I going mad or is it the rest of the world?

That is mental!

Reynard's suggestion it is then, race!
That'll show who's quickest on two wheels and with pedal power.

Where were you stood whilst the picture was taken?

I was still at the front door and not in the photo - absurd!

And there goes the hooter

Jimmy Durante had one of those !

Another live cam. Purple Martins this time. The babies are six days old now and still don't have a single feather between them! Their eyes aren't open yet either. I'm sure the blue tits grew faster than these birds.

At least he didn't have you stood in the wheelie bin.

Middle Son just got his grades for his final exams: he's got an overall grade 2, or "good" and a commendation from his school.

Well done that lad!

Fish and chips and beer tonight 😄

Mine's a "look in the fridge and see what needs using" kind of night.

Suspect some lamb might be involved. And tomatoes.

Owing to a paucity of squeezable citrus, I'm going to have a shop-bought pizza instead. I appear to have amassed about 80 cans of beer

Grey and overcast by the seaside this morning.

With a fine rain.
