Oops I did it again. I've added to my Raleigh collection

Couldn't resist a Vitesse for a tenner at a stall today. I even rode it around the showgrounds on my way back to the car with it.

Needs tyres badly before they explode but otherwise all there and in good working order, even down to the original Raleigh frame pump.

Weird spec though with flat bars, really skinny saddle, biopace chainset and a straight through block. Racing gearing will be no use around here for me.

Abruptly decided we would go out for dinner this afternoon, we havnt been out for ages..where to go ?
Harvester...theres one local, not our favourite but for the money, ok.
Food and service was ok, steak a bit chewy but £35 for one course and a drink each...nah, not good value. Nice to relax and eat out nevertheless.

My Internet is about as fast as an arthritic snail climbing a 1in 5 gradient coated in Lyle's Golden Syrup.

Nice to see the hunch that led to an impulse buy was correct - I picked up a beautiful acanthus leaf design Georg Jensen locket on the 'bay for not that much above scrap value.

Sure pays to be far more observant than the seller.

No more lockets for me, I think. Three is enough, even if I do like those German ones with the roses. But they go for silly money, and I'm not biting.

I'm not a sports psychologist but I'm fairly certain some goal therapy might help. (I mean the goal in front....)

We put six past West Brom in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Didn't really help that much, did it?

[Reynard]

Err, no.

There's a limit to how much I want to torture myself.

Anyways, triathlon done and dusted. Bath and then bed for me.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Advice once given out was if you are serving steak make sure you have sharp knives and the punters will think they are tender regardless.

Dry but overcast so being a Sunday morning went out on trike an hour later than usual at 8 o'clock. Slight damp feel in the air at higher levels but nor enough to cause problems.
Practically no traffic so not too many interruptions.
Cannot really look at the surroundings too much tho' as habit means I constantly check as far as can be seen back and front for oncoming traffic.
No sand martins this morning but the cattle have been moved to a different field and there was a kestrel sitting on a pole as well as a buzzard by the roadside. I suppose any predator makes others wary even tho' they are not likely to take birds in flight.

Walk round local park. Now looking as though it might rain.
