The forecast rain didn't turn up yet, so we went on a hilly ride.

Runswick Bay to Castleton, then Hetton le Hole and lunch in Pickering - where very few cafe's had outside tables - and back via Sleights and Sandsend. LOTS of hills in the 60 miles / 5000ft of climbing and am now tired, but I did go for a swim in the sea plus the obligatory ice cream.

Had to admit defeat with the cat chalet.

I've partially dismantled it, but have been stumped by a series of nuts and bolts that were seized thanks to cat pee. The hacksaw just wouldn't "bite" so I suspect some kind of hardened steel. Using heat is out, because the panels are coated in plastic, and I don't fancy using an angle grinder in such a confined space.

Hey ho. At least I tried.

I did get lots of kitty cuddles and doggy hugs though.

If any of you would like to move into this street, there are two houses on the market. One is two houses up the street and the other one is nearly opposite me.

Strangely, neither house is being marketed with an estate agent. They are both being sold, without the need for an estate agent's services.

Wow! That’s certainly the rain on now along with thunder and lightning.

@Speicher you don't state which street ... not that anyone deserves the punishment of being my neighbour

I will give you a clue - Mr Benn lives at No 52.

Karachi-style lamb and chickpea curry, basmati rice, spiced butternut squash and mint & garlic raita.

Might have been a bit

I live at number 2 x Mr. Benn then.

For the past couple of mornings I've been given the task of mentoring a new recruit to the team to show her the ropes. This means having to use the official way of doing things, rather than the one that actually gets things done.

I think I'll have a hot chocolate and an early night having just demolished a large bowl of fresh grapefruit.

 

[Reynard]

A would be mighty fine right now.

Time to put the kettle on.

I'd been out for a about 35 miles on the bike.

Now after fitting a screen protector to my smart phone as there were a few scratches appearing on the screen.

Got up to 30C today, and sunny. May cool off at the week-end, it may be a bit hotter tomorrow with heat advisory, so I do not think I will be out on the bicycle. A/C technician coming to check our A/C unit, a yearly precaution, tomorrow, and maybe lunch with Mrs GA. Next week, I have a vacation.

 

[Reynard]

Time for bed, this little one said.

Nunnight one and all xxx

 

[Andy in Germany]

Good morning. Moderately late start today so I can take my time getting up...
