After discovering the miracle of Tofu and Korean spices I had a couple of packages turn up today. A Tofu press and a bunch of spices and seeds. Guess what I`ll be up to between rides this coming few days 🥣

& there's a name for that. seems simple enuff (I mean who isn't) but maybe there's more to it than that? excerpt: "In the most basic terms, a lifelong learner is someone who keeps acquiring new skills and capabilities well past their formal education years. It involves not only studying new topics but also developing an open-minded, positive attitude about the dynamic nature of the world."

That's enough work for the day. Sun is shining, MrsF not at the van until tomorrow, my dad's not here, so no beer with him, so off for a pootle, some beers and some food.
First stop is The Point in Talacre, but despite table service for drinks, you have to order food inside, erm, not leaving 'Frank' outside on his own.
Cheers
PS can't smell the stinky new bar tape whilst outside.

My takeaway last night came from the 2 Sisters Tandoori. No sign of any sisters. The 2 guys behind the counter could have been brothers, though. They had a very similar miserableness.Currently I'm sat outside Sid's Café in Holmfirth having a coffee and a bun.
The café owner's a lady. And she's not called Sid.
(and yes, I know it's from Last of the Summer Wine)
Another misnomer is the bike I'm currently using has wheels with the word "SPEED" on them in big letters
I'll not hear a bad word about their Tilapia Shatkora, though.

I know I've felt absolutely godawful these last couple of days, but the world really does feel like a MUCH better place after a nice bike ride.
Ended up spending an hour and a half in the company of Wiggy #1, the Rouen roadie. Dropped off mum's prescription at the Quack while I was at it.
Now sitting down to a
and two chocolate biskits.

Right, time to go and feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Decided not to eat at 'The Point' as it was burgers or pizza. Headed back towards Prestatyn and stopped off at The Beaches Hotel - been here quite often to eat outside. Decided upon home made beef and ale pie with triple cooked chips and veg. It was delicious. The guy waiting on took my card inside to 'swipe' rather than me leaving the bike outside. Top service. 
He'd warned they were 'busy' and there might be a delay, not a problem.... food actually arrived within 10 minutes of ordering.
Oh and riding through 'Presthaven' some young teen lad shouted 'Oi that's my bike', I smiled and carried on - the bike is at least twice his age and was built for me alone !

My daughter has a CX bike 'Isla' (simply from Islabike) and an MTB 'Dave' - when we picked it up she misread the brand on the down tube and said, "Dave's? It used to be Dave's bike?!" It's a Dawes....Glad I'm not the only one who has given their bikes a name

You've stumbled across a great idea for a retro marketing toolCan you remember when you used to open up a packet of cereals and found a plastic toy inside ?
Well I just opened up a box of cornflakes and found a rear mech inside !
I had bought it on the bay but I was surprised at the packaging !
