Mundane News

Back and suitably refreshed after MrsC made me a nice cuppa on returning from my ride. I did my usual route and it was mostly dry but with the odd gust of cold wind and showers. So glad I bought new winter gloves the other day because I know my fingers would have suffered with the usual mitts on!
Also it was the first ride of the year with long thermals and waterproof pants and jacket. I can`t see that changing any time soon!

How about starting your own photo site?
~WordPress~
is fairly easy and quite good.

Good idea but may be a bit of a challenge for me to get it running and advertised but not insurmountable. Grandchild assist is the best bet probably.

Just been looking at the Oban area FB pages.
The roundabout at Tesco roundabout is flooded as usual after heavy rain. Car in the hedge at Duror Cemetery and one off as usual just south of Creagan Bridge. They even manage to take to the trees when it is dry there so no surprise when it is wet. I cannot see any problem there when I pass so it must be excess speed and unable to take the corners.
Locally prospective tourists are trying to book holiday houses for this time next year.

These website builders are really easy to use, very user friendly. All you have to do, pretty much, is follow the instructions as you go along, choose backgrounds etc. Then you add your photos, get the address link and put it on facebook. No need to advertise it as you already have interest via facebook!

It's around 10°C here and people are walking around in shorts and t-shirts. They must have missed the autumn notification.

You're in Ferrybridge; that's typical summer temperature

Whereas I'm sat in Dublin Port waiting for a ferry back to Holyhead. Son no. 2's race was fine, then it wasn't after a major error but he finished anyway. Bike OK, rider . The big boys are out to play in this afternoon's race but we couldn't hang around for the finish.

Sunny, mild and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept in this morning, then made a big cauldron of butternut squash, red lentil and roasted garlic soup.

Bit of a panic, because my other laptop power pack went *fzzzzt* so I've jury-rigged something together and am about to buy a replacement power cable. And a new laptop. Well, a reconditioned one.

Anyways, luncheon was had, and I'm now watching the horse racing from Longchamps on catch up.

Son no. 2 will be driving back home from Holyhead - A5 then A55 to at least Conwy - where he's not allowed between j19 and j23 as he's on an L-plate.

Clear the roads ...

No1 daughter and a friend got almost to the top of Snowdon, yesterday!
Discretion being the better part of valour, they turned back as the weather was too nasty to risk it. Sensible decision, methinks!!

They got as far as the red circle.. 👍

@gavroche - will do, around 7.20-7.30pm. If it's followed by a crunch and bits of red Pug Tepee flying everywhere that wasn't me
