Very busy on the bird feeder, this morning. Numerous Goldfinches, blue tits, a couple of sparrows and a Robin. Plus the inevitable Starlings and pigeon!

Thanks. It started with a 3 minute shower, of course, just as I was leaving for work, but it's improved since:

Shattered today, slept like a log though. 5 consecutive days on the bike, including the last two being commutes to the office. Rest day today - WFH. My lunch break will be taking my daughter for her second 'jab'.

Got it slightly wrong this morning. Forecast is for donner and blitzen with rain but it was dry when I got up and outside temp 15C so quick breakfast and out on the trike.
Very light rain drops started soon after so stopped to put on rain jacket and continued. rain not too bad so on uphill and near the top a car overtook me and stopped in the passing place on the blind corner. Obviously something coming so I stopped in the earlier passing place. Camper van then overtook me straight towards the school bus with no thought whatsoever. Idiots.
Apparently last week an ambulance with blues and twos was held back as the tourists in front would not pull over. More idiots.
Turned at the top of the hill and realised the wind and rain had been behind me all the way out so had to go straight into it but managed to get back without getting too wet.
I posted a pic on our local photo page of a girl who worked for me aged about 18 apparently playing chess. I fully expected the chess nuts to jump on me for getting it wrong. I did play chess at one time but must have got this right. Queen's Gambit apparently which they all thought was wonderful.
Sad thing is she was 18 at the time but is now nearly 70. Ye gods where has the time gone.

Very muggy here, no wind, heavy sky though. Decided upon a cup of tea with sugar, rather than a coffee (no sugar).

Just finished a big mug of Yorkshire tea. I need a little spoon of sugar in though and some milk.

that's lovely. I stopped filling our feeder due to too many rodents gathering under it

We get squirrels, but not too many this year as I convinced the neighbours not to keep feeding them!!

It has been raining on and off . I have been out washing both cars off . I need it to hammer down a bit to wash the sure off.
I worked out that my friend and I did about 10.5 miles yesterday , that is excluding any changes in elevation so it would have been more .

What bike did Jonnie Irwin take up Box Hill just now on Escape to the Country . It was green and looked like a steel framed bike ?

It's raining and the suds are being washed off my car .
