I believe celery is actually a negative calorie situation, it takes more calories to chew than the vegetable provides.

I believe celery is actually a negative calorie situation, it takes more calories to chew than the vegetable provides.

In that case I've burnt off quite a few today

 

[Gravity Aided]

Kebab time.
YOu've earned it.

Tiny and cute little things, aren't they? I've only seen a pair once during that very long winter 3 or 4 years ago. They were feeding on a bush's berries. I think Deptford's the furthest they'd ever had to go to find food that winter.

I know I have them in the garden, though usually tend to hear them rather than see them. When I do see them though, they're fun to watch.

Saw a barn owl flying over my drive this evening.

Change of subject, Lost Voice Guy has just had a 6 part series commissioned by Radio 4. Lee is such a funny bloke, really chuffed for him.

We in Banbury today, shopping

We were in Banbury on Saturday afternoon.

Bad: I just fell off my bike.
Good: I still bounce well for an oldie.
Mixed blessing: clothing now allows slightly more ventilation than planned.

I'd just had a conversation with a cyclist about riding and drinking whisky and the talk moved onto collarbone injuries. And then I drank some whisky and cycled home....

Ouch! Hope no damage done and that the subsequent wardrobe malfunction wasn't too embarrassing...

Who stole my like button?

Anybody who knows me, knows that I'm rather uninterested in looking smart. Even when I make the effort it has little effect. And no damage to report yet.

What does seem odd to me tonight is that the after the last two offs (injury free) I've had, a driver does something murderous less than 3 minutes after I get back on the bike. Last time, I had priority (downhill and clear my side of the road) but got squeezed off the road. Tonight, another driver failed to see me coming with my 250 lumens lights because he pulled out of a side street in front of me without even looking. Is there something in the unknown world that says ''His adrenaline levels are high tonight, let's see if he can swerve round this and use up the excess....?''

Oh well, an eventful cycling day.....

At nine fifteen I made a brief trip to the loft.

Who stole my like button?

Yeah! I want it back!

 

[MikeG]

Damn. One of the downsides of coming back to a cycling forum is hearing of offs. Glad you're OK. How's the bike?

Who stole my like button?

Where did you last have it?

 

[hopless500]

Where did you last have it?

Mine's run off with his. I would like it back.

Some on here would be suicidal if they can no longer receive them
