Another nice run on the trike this morning but a cold northerly wind so need to get mid season togs on.
Out at 0730 and only a couple of cars going fast so locals at that speed. Another with a local running up the volcano. Really the plug of one but there is loch at the top and a lovely view. Beyond me now, not so much going up but coming down is more of a problem.
A flock of about a dozen incontinent sheep have escaped from near Dervaig I think and wandered down the road. I could see where they have probably stopped overnight before heading down a couple of miles to check out the campsite. Obviously nothing doing there so they started back up but stopped for a rest all spaced out 2 metres apart at the side of the road so not in danger from passing traffic. Not wearing masks but socially distanced.

Same weather as @biggs682 ...
Not strange, though, as we're only about 7 miles apart

 

[classic33]

Where ?

All over the place.
We don't keep it to ourselves.

It is tipping down here.
My wife managed to order a new elephant which should arrive Tuesday. We managed to take the old one out which has blown .

You had an Elephant that blew away?? Should have trimmed its ears or at least tied them back 🐘

Was up with the lark for 15 hilly miles with mini T. Managed his fastest average yet, 12.5mph. May need to fit a front derailleur and double chainring soon.

Did you know that the company AEG Has been spelt wrong and should be AGE because that is how long we have been trying to find the correct part on their site and been going round and round in circles! . We know which bits don't fit our cooker so I suppose that by the process of elimination we would eventually find it !
I let them know what I thought of their web site .

Suddenly started kerschplüchening it down here....

I realised that while in Stuttgart there will be blocks of time when the family are otherwise engaged and I'll not be needed, so I'll take my touring bike to make sure I'm not bored.

Now I've swept and mopped the apartment floor. It's remarkable how the temperature in the apartment goes up when I mop the floor with warm water.

Oh, I've also tidied the table/desk* and the kitchen, got rid of the cobwebs in the porch. Later if I'm feeling particularly dashing, I'll take the rubbish out.

* Take note @classic33.

We have got one coming from AGE which was £10 cheaper thanks.

Out again. Gone to the local again as there is a Queen tribute band on. Great. Not heard live music in person for 18 months. Everyone in the beer garden.

Ooh, look! An excellent idea for those who like Bitsa for tea!

I changed my planned ride for a coastal hike. Now enjoying the simple things as I have worked up an appetite

Actually a little disappointed as I have eaten from this takeaway many times and it is excellent but today's chips aren't up to the usual standard.
