I got some 95% chocolate from Lidl earlier this week and it's simply too much for me.

I'll have if you can't manage it!

Does German have a word for that?

Very likely.

It's gerspüschening it down here as well, if it helps. There are however rumours of better weather next week; local government offices are preparing information leaflets to avoid panic among the populace in the event of a bright disc appearing in the sky.

Meteors or UFO?
Perseid meteor shower starts on the 8th of this month.

Anyways, time for this girl to go and round up her shopping bags, hand gel, list and face mask and think about toddling off to Tesco.

Did you get back okay?

Yes, I got back fine thank you. My wonderful darling wife came and collected me and the bike, and knowing I was disappointed with not being able to ride, promptly rushed me out the door to attend a local gala with family. We had a good afternoon even with the odd spot of rain. This evening will be researching more about how to fix the bike.

Just enough wind to keep the midges down......
So lots of beans instead of dite! Cool

...... Mebbe the rain we have had has chased them away and the evenings were probably bad with midges.

Or the wind really did the trick getting rid of the pesky tourists

Wind usually falls calm at about 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening and then the midges come out to play and feast. Midge heaven if you are one of them. I have in my cycle bag Skin so Soft and a midge hood in the summer in case of an enforced stop at any time of day. I also have leg warmers if not wearing long trousers.
They do say that is why the Highland Fling was invented as if you move vigorously midges are discouraged.

Does Skin so Soft work, I remember reading about it in one man and his bike..
