Independance day Rugby union on tv now. England v USA. A good test for the youth players and better than playing a computer game while intermittently looking out at the rain

Having a pint with Mr Boardman in the rain.

Need to dash back to the caravan shortly for a few more beers with my dad.

Whats aluminium frames like in a thunder storm, especially fitted with compressed air in front forks, rear sus, and the dropper post. Orbit possible if I get hit and the suspension explodes ?

You're weren't using a suspension seat post were you?

I saw a Spitfire and Hurricane fly overhead on my ride today. Always a thrill.

Muggy, sticky and occasionally very showery here chez Casa Reynard.

Grand Prix commentary on the radio negotiated over lunch. The driver steward certainly earned his beer money today - can't say I agreed with him at times, but at least he was consistent.

Yes, I don't always agree with my hero.

I had a bacon and sausage sandwich while listening to the race. I won't say which one was better, not to spoiler it.

Mrs C decided she wants me to do some painting in the next few days.... right over my head

An entertaining match, some of the youngsters look handy.

Just finished an interesting and frankly mildly surreal ride through a few of the local villages, the first half was a wiggle around the Rhine valley and the second just inside the Black Forest but it felt like I'd travelled halfway across the country instead of about 5k. Everything changes, the geography architecture and feel of the place.

As an added bonus, I made it back before the rain came.

Another failed delivery!

I had thought about some bike time, but as it's just started to tip it down, I think I'm going to do a stayputnik.

In other news, I have put two photos in my new locket, and it is now in its permanent home on the chain together with my St Christopher. Feels good to be wearing a locket again.

You forgot "Next time I'll have my revenge..."

It should be free delivery next time. And no missing/failed.

Hmmm, a would be a very fine thing right now.
