Itching to get back on my bike's

Been another great day today
About 15 miles on the tandem
And 4 miles by foot
Good food
 
That happy moment when you think you've found another item for your archive (in this case a postcard), followed by the aaaaargh moment shortly after, when after a careful cross-check with the article you know the image is from, it becomes apparent that the photo* used is a year too early thanks to differences in the advertising hoardings.

* it's a shot of the start of a race at Brands Hatch with the lap counter right of frame (with 60 laps on the board), but taken from the rear, so it's really difficult to identify the cars. But it's same vantage point, same view, same style of shot, so, I'd imagine, the same photographer.

What a lovely day made even better by not being at work. Despite the knackered legs, arms & back after the past two days work, I went out for a thoroughly enjoyable and fast (for me) 40 mile blat in the Suffolk countryside this afternoon. Then, to add to the punishment, I took the car to Ipswich ready for its MOT & service tomorrow and cycled the 8 miles home into a headwind.

Liquid muscle relaxant is now being taken.

I'm finding the posts lately are too interesting and less mundane.
Anyway my mundane news, woke up this morning to find our dog who sleeps on our bed had s**t himself on the duvet cover.
Yes, a lot of the posts on here are too interesting to qualify as mundane news.

Would it be too exciting for me to mention that I've found that Aldi's version of Shreddies have to be soaked in milk for longer than Lidl's to get to the correct level of softness? This will impact on Friday's breakfast.
 
In a steely display of willpower, I just resisted the temptation to buy another power tool. :thanks:

My goodness, you could make a fortune writing self-help books with self control like that...

My go-to flavour as well. :okay:

Although when I buy crisps on sticker (usually multipacks with damaged packaging / bags missing) I'm pretty catholic. The only two flavours I'm not so keen on are salt & vinegar and pickled onion.

I remember KP used to do fried onion flavoured crisps back in the day. Man, I loved those...
And I have a weakness for Sultan Finnacre crisps. I ate 3 packets yesterday.

Morning all, by the way!

Dry but a bitterly cold SE wind turning to a gale for the afternoon with heavy rain.
Calmac have found yet another excuse to cancel the last ferry today on the Oban/Craignure run. This happens every week.
Those stuck at Lochaline yesterday[ if anybody waited ]would have eventually got over early evening when they finally got the boat fixed. I doubt if even the burger shack would be open and there is nothing else of note there so a dismal place to be stuck.
What on earth is a "Patient Facilitator" NHS Highland are advertising for in Bunessan? Receptionist?:rolleyes:
