At least our coffee break was dry 😁

And that was a very nice shiny black Brompton we both saw!

Despite the poor forecast for today, it's not been a bad day in this corner of Suffolk. Warm but a bit cloudy and breezy with just one light rain shower and that was while I was changing the bedding once i got in from work.

Shopping at Morrisons resulted in a bit of yellow stickering at opposite ends of the nutrtional spectrum - a pack of 5 of their custard donuts down to 13p and some easy peeler sweet clementines (which are neither sweet or easy to peel it turns out) for just 40p.

I've spent most of the day either watching the 2nd toy auction or the Tour of Britain . The prices were still rocketing although one lot of 3 1/18 scale racing cars went lower than I expected ! . It's a shame that I hadn't signed up to the auction . I will keep an eye out for the next one.

Bummer, talk about Sod's Law...

Think peeps are starting to buy for Christmas. Jewellery prices on the 'bay have definitely nudged up since midsummer.

You could always poach the clementines in a sugar syrup with cointreau

Almost at the south coast for tomorrow's TT; we're in an old Travelodge near Newbury as it was cheap

I'm not sure what the receptionist made of us bringing in a road bike and a TT bike though. Plus spare wheels (in wheel bags) and assorted other kit


Nice dinner earlier (Beefeater off A34) with steak for son no.2.

Another of those stupid weekends?

Hope you said you'd cycled there.

I spent four days falling in love with Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.


Edit: I have to come clean here peeps....we had a car and a very comfortable bed in the middle of an absolutely silent nowhere.

Relaxing now after another 80 odd miles. That about 165ish over the two days. When I got back to the B&B I found that they have a problem with the water supply so I couldn't have a shower. This has not been my favourite place to stay but at least it is quiet tonight. Thankfully I will be moving on in the morning.

Well, we'll wait to see what sort of inevitable chaos unfolds tomorrow...

Qualifying today, with Sundays grid determined by a short race tomorrow.

Bottas to take Hamilton out in the sprint.

Anyways, I need a

Morning.
They are beginning to piece me orf with their constant messing about with rules and changing things. So qualifying was yesterday and they are going to play around today ?
So how does this factor into their budget cap ? Extra wear and risks on engines and gearboxes. A nice pile up in the sprint race and there wouldn't be a race on Sunday. Perhaps a procession of broken racing cars on flatbed trucks to do 2 laps under the safety car ! .

This is what your deluge looked like from where I was standing by the old Fish Market
