Lovely sunny day again in Manchester and another very pleasant ride around Sale/ Chorlton and the river Mersey.
The bike needs a good clean and light greasing so I`m going to put it up on the new stand I bought from Aldi and do some fettling. Tyres need some air too while I`m at it.
Really jealous of fossyant going to see the Kaiser Chiefs! That said I hope he has a really great night I`m sure he will.

Right, I am going to change out of my slobbing-at-home clothes into something suitable for being seen in public, and meet up with my friend for a walk with her and the dogs.

Might take a tupperware and pick some blackberries. I fancy a crumble.

Out early today and did 62 odd miles on the new Koga around Kent. Loathe to admit it, some of the "mod con's weight, discs etc do make a difference. I will never give up on my steel frame tourer but the Koga is rather nippy!

Time to finish, booked a couple of hours off. Time for a pop, before checking into the hotel to drop the suitcase off. Check in isn't till 4, but I've got to check in, deposit said bag, and hot foot it across Manchester to meet MrsF at 4:30. Razorlight 7:30, Kaisers 9pm. Curfew at 10:30 as it's outdoors , so might have to find a bar near the hotel.

They were going on whilst 1am here.

Curfew! Aren't you old enough to be out at night, on your own?

I really enjoyed that walk on what's turned out to be a beautiful late afternoon / early evening. Shame there weren't any blackberries worth picking. Hey ho, there are other places I can go pick.

Anyways, now sat down with a

It is a little damp and a bit windy so I think I will take the fixed wheeler for a spin.

You and the fixed Wheeler back from your ride yet?

Apparently, it was the autumn equinox 20 minutes ago so welcome to autumn everybody, and congratulations to summer for getting its act together for the final day. I've been to the seaside, had haddock and chips on the beach, bought freshly smoked kippers and a supply of Adnams beer so I won't starve or die of thirst.

Yes I'm home.
