Mundane News

Had my second jab this afternoon. The Downham Market centre is much more efficient than the one in Ely - was in and out of there in 20 minutes, and that included the mandatory 15 minute bum park. And there were bike racks.

Didn't fancy waiting an hour for the return train, so I rode the 18-something miles home on NCN11 via Denver Sluice and Ten Mile Bank. A really nice ride actually, I'd definitely do that again at some point.

It did rain a bit here and there, but what got me soaked and covered in mud was a 4x4 coming the other way and not slowing down despite the fact there was two inches of standing water on the road.

So I've de-mudded myself, had a wash, relaxed a bit, and now I'm off to see if there's anything in the fridge that tickles my fancy.

Got my second jab this Saturday.

My daughter finally managed to get her second jab today. It took her 2 weeks to convince NHS that she wasn't someone with a similar surname who had her jab in Buckinghamshire. Her app is still disabled but that's no great loss, I imagine.

I have just received notification that I get my second vaccine jag on Friday at 3:05.

Tyred "Two Jags"?

My PC decided to die 5 minutes into a critical 3-hour MS Teams meeting. So ... fired up SWMBO's PC, logged in and was there for most of it.

Mine's broken. The clip holding the heat-sink down has snapped so it's off to be mended. This happened about 18 months ago and the heat-sink seems to be too heavy, so a lighter one's been ordered and will be fitted for me.

However ... I've some critical external work that needs doing so I'm down to a single touchscreen PC to attempt a pile of marking. Most of the items I need are accessible, but not everything so it'll be a fun week.

To catch up on the time lost I'm reading through external examiner proposals this evening and writing module reports. Sometimes my job can be really exciting

Oh, and because it's been raining since the early hours this morning I forewent a planned ride outdoors. That'll have to wait until tomorrow. Instead I ended up on a Zwift 'steady' group ride.

Bit of a coincidence this morning - I went to get a cycling top out of the drawer for the ride to work this morning and the top one of the pile was an "Italia" jersey. That got put back for a few days and the next one down (a more neutral "Canada" top) was used instead.

The grey, cool and drizzly weather is back again.

Just a red, white and yellow Altura jersey for me.

Is that for the new E type

These were a job lot of country themed jerseys that I picked up on clearance from PBK for around a tenner each. I just thought it amusing that the Italy top was on the top today of all days. Tomorrow's selection is a Hovis top from Foska.

It's funny how that sort of thing happens, isn't it?

I've yet to find any decent jerseys with cats on. Or racing cars for that matter...

 

[carpiste]

Looks like the weather will be cycle friendly for the next week or so!
So tomorrow morning there`ll be no messing about, no deciding what`s for brekkie like today!
Weetabix with alpro, Greek yoghurt mix with fig and date yoghurt from Morrisons and it`s off I go

Quick google and this popped up on Amazon. Chinese though I think so no doubt would be crazy sizing. Probably need xxxl or something.
