Chilly at first at the football, then bright sunlight and lots of baby spiders & spindrift to annoy us..

A 5-1 win was a great result, though! 😁

On granddaughter duties now till Sunday morning

Tip run done, commuter bike chain is degreasing, better go clean the bike now.

 

[Reynard]

Mild and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Had a horrible night's sleep, so feel rather bleurgh.

Maybe some luncheon and a will make me feel better. Oh, and I'm going yellow stickering later.

Going to University Homecoming parade, same for the past 100 years. Riding the tricycle recumbent, so I have a seat when I get there. Mrs. GA and extended family today, my own extended family tomorrow up north a ways.

Also plotting the purchase of a used digital SLR camera. An old one, for cheapness' sake.

We're of to Silverstone village (not the track you hate @Reynard) to watch granddaughter play football, this morning..

Prob too late now, but there's a really nice cafe at the top of a hill somewhere near Silverstone village. I cycled that way a few months back and got myself a divine pie, coffee and wedge of cake. Sat outside though as not fully reopened at the time. Can't remember exactly where it was but remember after I'd got back on my bike and gone down said hill there was a sign to Silverstone village!

Just looked at ride history, it was Whittlebury Bakery

I don't mind the downward ones, it's the upwards ones I don't like .

Then there are the ones that make you think you have done the ups, only to find more ups around the corner.

Can you look for some biskits for me please?

Chain sorted, but on putting the chain on, I noticed both links on the end of each chain was missing the rollers - they had droped off whilst I was cleaning it. Guess who has recently thrown all the odd bits of chain away.

Fortunately, I found one roller in the grass (I'd degreased the chain on the side lawn), and the other was on the drive. Phew.

You can also get them in apples and lettuce.

When I was small I remember having to check cauliflowers carefully as it was not uncommon to find caterpillars and the occasional slug carcass. These were home grown and were soaked in salted water for an hour or two before cooking.

 

[tyred]

I'm bored.

Nice sunny morning again but still cold so out on trike for a peaceful run up the Moss Road.
Two strange things happened, a white van man stopped on the Bonawe Road before a narrow bit and waited till I passed. Coming back the Moss Road I saw a car coming behind so stopped on the left opposite a passing place. Car stopped, window came down and a female voice shouted " Thanks very much" and car moved on. Such is modern thinking that I suspect it may have been sarcastic as I did not pull over into the passing place which is something which should only be done if a very large vehicle is coming which would have problems with the size of the passing place.
Now raining and my iphone battery has completely discharged even when turned off. Battery condition is good so a bit of a mystery. Checked the price of refurbished phones and now FB is full of adverts for refurbished iphones. Strange coincidence. It is a very old Iphone7plus at approx. 4 years old.
