'Tasting like cardboard' is how I describe it

I have to confess that I've never eaten cardboard. Strangely I know what you mean.

(Beautiful Daughter claims she has eaten cardboard, which doesn't surprise me at all...)

Morning.
It is grey and dark here and it's raining .
I was very tired yesterday. I slept a lot in the afternoon . I don't know if it is due to a mixture of the flu jab and my wife's cough . I don't think I have caught her cough, I only have the occasional one .

My clarinet playing is coming on a treat! I can now play different notes which sound like a school blackboard being scraped by a hard object in different keys !

My 'all sniffy' has developed into a full blown mucus attack 🤧

Stand well clear!!

Overcast but warm and will get out after breakfast and shower.

Another early-ish start and off to Macclesfield to watch, and support son no. 2, as they ride up the Cat & Fiddle in a hillclimb. It may be damp.

Then we were going to go to Huddersfield's soapbox race, but there was very little information about it and now it's been cancelled.

If it is anything like my wife's cough you could end up sounding like a 100 ciggies a day person !

Just remembered I must pop by Aldi at some point today as they have their cycling bits and bobs again.

The chesty cough has gone, now, but my nose runneth over!

A little bike ride might help.... 👍

Edit: At least my ears have unbunged so my balance is a bit better 👂

But won't you get snail trails all over your lycra ?

Gave mine a service yesterday. Took the front rack off as not in use currently. Really need to strip it back to frame before the end of the year and get it powder coated.

It'll certainly put off any wheel suckers 😂

Drizzle here and doesn`t look like there will be much in the way of dry weather today
Daughters birthday today so will be popping round with her pressies and some home made soup I made for her and the clan. We can`t go indoors as they are all recovering from covid but I`m sure MrsC will be happy just to chat through the closed door/window for a few minutes! After that we are going to Aldi for a quick shufty.
I`m sorely tempted to try a short ride out later to test the waterproofing covers and my sewing on the e-bike (pics on e-bike section)
Time for a second cuppa I think

Cycling helps anything...

Sometimes I think I should cut down the number of bikes but I enjoy riding different ones depending on how I’m feeling and what route I’m doing.

I have reduced the number I have but still buy the occasional one that will be sold once I am happy all ok .

Today's ride was 22 miles on a Carrera crixus cx machine .
