MrsPete has done the ironing. I helped by not interrupting her and making her a cuppa when she'd finished.

Ooh! Did you have one of those wind up swimming sharks which came in cereal packets ? I always wanted one of those !

Never got one ! . It shows that the packets on the shelves must have been old stock .

I think there was a cereal packet freebie in the form of a bicarbonate of soda powered submarine. I was very excited about it but it was very disappointing in the end - extremely slow and surface bound. Plus my mother wasn't happy about me rummaging around in her kitchen for the bicarb.

Carful. Mrs Pete might start to expect it, before you know it it will be I’ll have a biscuit with the tea.

On second thoughts you had better comply .Irons can make lethal weapons

Nice looking morning so will try to get out on trike for a run today.
Big question is will I go to the library before or after my excursion?

I remember those. Mine was 50% successful, in that it sank.

Morning.
Just trying to decide what the weather is doing ! . It is sort of grey with some patches of cream and light blue showing through .

On our cycle ride last night we decided to re-enact a famous stage of the TdF. Shrek away group was allowed to escape whilst the peleton continued at a leisurely pace chatting away . Eventually the peleton consisting of 2 decided to hunt down the break away group . We didn't, actually the break away group of 1 had stopped to wait for us to catch up !

And will all of this be appearing in/on wikipedia?

Right it's time for some miles

Ended up with having to use a bike with guards fitted as rained overnight.

53 miles completed.

First cuppa went down well

Shrek? I think he would find it very tricky to ride a bicycle. Was Fiona at the back with you? Was Puss in Boots in a basket on Fiona's bicycle?

Breezy, warm and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Spent the morning processing and cooking some rather tired-looking veg. Then at least they won't go t*ts up on me, and all I'll have to do later is warm them up in the poppity-ping. I have also done some writing.

I plan on a quiet-ish afternoon, and then I will be going to Tesco later. Which reminds, I must sort out a list. Going grocery shopping without one is just asking for trouble...

It is almost time for luncheon.

No, never had one of those.

But I did have TWO clockwork frogs. One with arms that whizzed round to propel it along, while the other, it were the legs that kicked. I think I still have them somewhere...

Lovely luncheon of a wholemeal roll filled with lox and a schmear, plus a pear, an orange and two
