Looked nice when I got up this morning but clouding over and the forecast is for heavy rain and fresh winds.
As a grumpy old git I have been fighting with lawyers in Oban. A simple procedure costing less than £200 but they are trying to bounce me into unnecessary complications which would I think go well into 4 figures. Shower of crooks.
To balance that however I dealt with firm of lawyers in Aberdeen after my son died with no will and all sorts of complications with pensions and house ownership. They were pleasant, efficient and after 18 months their bill was to my mind very fair considering the amount of work they did. Mackie and Dewar if anybody in Aberdeen is interested.

I think the legal system and laws should be changed to being simple . Any new laws should be plain , "It means this and not this !" In bold print .

My walk this morning was sunny and in glorious Technicolour but it is now starting to cloud over.

There's a complete but tatty Raleigh Twenty listed on the local Facebook buy and sell page and I'm trying to persuade myself that I don't need it....

Found some mysterious pooh!
I thought that it was a sign that Hedgehogs were about in our garden but the colour is wrong! It is dark green , the colour of chopped mint. My wife came to the same idea that I had . Geese !
I'm not going to do a Chris Packham and get down and snif it .

My fit band has given me 91 points for last night's sleep. And five stars too. Things can only deteriorate from here.

Second cuppa went down well

I'm back !
I'm still alive . I couldn't help laughing as I had 3 different people to see in different rooms . It was a bit like the Crystal Maze !
They didn't say what my ECG was like. I had a meeting with a doctor who has prescribed me with a low dose of Ramapril and contacted my cardiologist for a scan .
I'm allowed to continue cycling !

It's a Twenty. A Kingpin is better imo. But a Twenty will do until ones comes along.

Erm ... did that help?

I was just saying to my wife that I haven't been to see my doctor for a while now . The last time was for my prostate. Before that was due to an enlarged gall bladder. I just thought that I had pulled a stomach muscle ! I just thought I was a bit out of breath when I went up stairs . I didn't know it had swollen enough to be pushing up on my lungs . That was an ambulance trip ! So heart wise I hadn't needed to see them for a few years . I think that my cycling has helped improve things .

I would love a Kingpin actually but the only one I ever came across locally was rusted through at the chainstays and only fit for scrap. I keep an open eye...

I'm going to drill two holes in a wall soon.

We had to shampoo our puppy after my walk with her around The Washlands. She was really mucky and smelled of horse Doo-Doo 🐴 💩

The car journey home was with the windows open

We have an orange sky, supposedly because of Saharan sand.

Combined with the lack of traffic it feels slightly apocalyptic. I half expect @classic33 and his chums to ride over the hill and up the high street...
