Closing Tokyo may not be a bad idea.

I take it your better half is not from that neck of the woods.

Went to the seaside yesterday. Never been to Brancaster beach before but it has miles of sand and was empty. Could be because of howling rainstorm and cloud so I couldnt tell sea from sky or sand. Epic day.

You're allowed a mattress at work!

I recall, many moons ago, we shift workers used to have sleeping bags in our lockers.

They're easier hide than a mattress though.

Can’t think of anything worse than chips coated in sand

Egg sandwiches coated in sand?

There are roadworks happening in the road outside the house where we are dog sitting. There are lots of interesting and noisy machines outside to entertain Beautiful Daughter.

We're supposed to be having road closing 3 day roadworks, they haven't started yet.

Went there with a friend a few times when I was at school nearby. Days when you could just park your bike & leave it. I believe the tide can come in rather rapidly.

Lunch was putting up a few pictures and finishing off some painting in the downstair's loo. MrsF had painted the walls and replaced the flooring. Ride tomorrow I think, knee improving slowly.

Clearly I'm unaware of what's going on around me;

Yesterday there were two shooting incidents a couple of miles away, this morning police have shut the golf course I look at out of the window and are investigating, with armed police just down the road. I open Facebook and there's messages asking what's happening ...

Me? I've been pootling at home, with a bit of marking to finish, then gardening and sorting out son no. 2's Cervelo for a race on Wednesday

Had a lovely lunch. Two slices of wholemeal toast - one with mortadella (that's bologna to the US mundaners) and one with sliced avocado and sweet chilli sauce, plus a banana, a flat peach and two

And I've put a load of laundry in the machine.

Just back from a 21 mile ride. Got the cobwebs off after a few days rained off! Mrs C had the kettle on, as usual, and I`m just resting the knees before a trip out to the fishing tackle shop.

 

[tyred]

It's raining again.

Egg sandwiches coated in sand?

Scotch egg sandwiches ?

Don't know where my wheel is !
Hermes chat line is a load of cobblers! Didn't pass Alan Turing's test!

I acquired a pet herring gull for 20 or so minutes while I ate my fish and chips in Ramsgate. It did manage to pick something up just behind my heel while it was so patiently waiting. When I wrapped up the left overs, he casually ended the friendship and sauntered off to a couple on the next bench who had bread rolls. His feet were exactly the colour of rhubarb yoghurt.
