Lovely luncheon. two slices of toasted split tin loaf, one with mortadella (that's bologna sausage to our correspondents on the other side of the Atlantic), one with some lusciously ripe Gorgonzola, plus an orange, a plum and some blueberries. Oh, and two of course...

Now for some more snooker.

Good luck, LittleRoller 🤞

I'm debating if four bar tyres may be a bit too solid for riding on loose gravel chippings.

Time to change into clothes suitable for cycling and head off for a bimble.

A onesie is not suitable.

It's nearly dinner time 😀

I met a Dutch cycle tourist just outside Dover heading for Brighton today. She remarked on our hills and mentioned that even having only five miles racked up from the ferry, the cycle route signage was rubbish. I suggested she register on CC and there was bound to be someone who could be of help.

I had a nice pleasant day wandering around the gardens at the national park.

Later I will be going to my first gig since before Covid

I will be going to see Imelda May 🥰

Did eventually get my act together and went out for a trike run early afternoon as it turned out a nice sunny day again. Had to cut it a bit short as I was far too hot and had run out of space to carry surplus clothes.
The first bit of my regular run is middle/low gear climbing for a long way so get pretty warm. Traffic was pretty light as most would be having lunch and not travelling but only one ill matched pair of cyclists. One I suspect living in Dervaig had met a tourist so cycled over to Tobermory together.
Campsite not busy and I noticed over the weekend only one tent, the rest being campervans, motorhomes or towed caravans.
Given that you have to pay extra for a towing caravan it makes sense to have more single vehicle outfits.
Now I need to go and fight a bank system to transfer money for I hope the final bills of our Aberdeen flat renovation.
Son who is now off back to Taiwan had a visit there while on home leave and took some pics for me and it looks very good.

I had a very pleasant bimble in the company of Max the MTB. Last time I went out that way the roads were utterly pants, with the surface breaking up in chunks the size of my fist. They've repaired it in the interim - properly this time, not just tar-and-chippings. Will be interesting to see how long it will last.

Have also had a very nice post-ride

Now for the final session of snooker in this year's World Championship.

 

[Reynard]

I have just fed the cats. I will wait till the mid-session interval to feed me.

 

[Reynard]

Veggie curry & naan bread. The world is good.

 

[Andy in Germany]

I've just bought, not one but two pairs of trousers.

Planing on wearing them at the same time?

Maybe it's cold?
