Air con bits are silly money, but given how long they last, not bad.

Lunch ride is off. Just started raining and there is a big thunder storm rolling in. Panniers located for a 'commute' next week and currently in the 'washer', been collecting dust for 5 years (not commuted). As I'm not riding this lunch, I think the MTB can get the rack fitted too.

I’m reading about early Scottish Kings. William 1st, 1165-1214, is an interesting fella.

Negative LFT Covid 19 test ahead of a niece‘s wedding tomorrow. Just the result we needed.

I wear a double monocle
I solved a crime the other night. It turned out it was Colonel Mustard in the dining room with the candlestick. I amaze myself sometimes.
I'm a fan of Wout van Aert and Eddie Merckx, does that count?

Cool, mostly overcast and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.
This morning, I have refilled the fruit bowls, hand washed a new t-shirt, done some writing and watched the dancing horses.
Slept well, but still feel tired.

He isn't, but I am.
Well, I'm half Belgian, if you really want to be pedantic about it.

In the last minute, someone has switched off the sun (or forgot to pay the bill). It has very suddenly gone pitch black outside and is now raining. I've had to switch the lamps on to see, it's that dark.

I rather liked Belgium when we cycle toured there many years ago. We had a very near miss when trying to take loaded bikes down the escalator to the tunnel under the river at Antwerp. My wife could not hold hers on the sudden drop and only a quick thinking Belgian holding her carrier averted carnage.
Were they looking for Specsavers but got lost?

I'll still say that the best chips I've ever eaten come from a snack / burger van parked outside Oostende station.

Had an early trip down to the pharmacy for meds. but some were missing. Phone surgery and they had not bothered printing one and sending it down and another had to be referred to a GP. Every locum has a different opinion and they change regularly. I hate the phone reorder system as I have no written proof of requests and they sometimes make mistakes.
Got that kind of sorted so had a quick look at local FB page. The fridge in the Glass Barn has been restocked and the stuff vanishes fast so out for some shopping.
Mistake as it was near lunch time. When I turned up the entrance track there was a convoy behind me and the cafe bit was rammed. I managed to get parked by good luck and blocking any others trying to park as the car park area was also rammed.
At the fridge some ejjit was taking down small packs of cheese and scrutinising the labels before returning them and getting another down. I had to just reach past him and fill my bag with bacon, sausages, burgers and ham. Paid and out and he was still there looking for what? Who knows
.
Naturally being an eating establishment there were no face coverings and there was a queue for a table so I got out as fast as possible.

Yes indeed chips were memorable. Also the cop directing traffic in Liege who found out we were Scottish so held up 5 lanes of traffic converging to allow us across on our bikes.I'll still say that the best chips I've ever eaten come from a snack / burger van parked outside Oostende station.
