I was in a bit of a confused state by yesterday evening thinking that it would be Yoga this morning and convinced myself that I was being silly and that it was on Saturday. My wife just said " Are you going to Yoga today?"

I have no idea what this means.

Motorail is where you can put your car, or in my case my motorbike on the train and travel with it.

I have used it a few times to get from Hamburg to Munich with my motorbike.

You ride it on and fasten it down and then you have a sleeper car for the night. We wake up and have breakfast and an hour later we are riding in the mountains.

It saves spending 2 days riding down on the motoeway. which i have also done. The price of the train fare is reasonable as I save on 2 days worth of fuel and accomodation.

Very windy here, glad it's not a cycle day. Should be nice for Sunday but rubbish tomorrow

It was very windy for my ride yesterday, it's calmed down today and is bright and sunny but more March than May.

I need a huge pot of tea and a pack of dark chocolate digestives.

Daughter's moving today and needed cool bag, took it up, she filled it, I left with it. Far too dangerous for me.

Five newly made pies with braising steak & ox cheek filling in the fridge

First one, eaten yesterday lunch, was rather good.

Nettiethedog and Jessiethepup have just exercised their democratic right to vote.

There was a dog waiting outside ours. They wouldn't let him in.

I've voted but forgot I had a second choice.... so went for a bit last minute dithering!

There were twice as many on the ballot as we'd had paper from. But no one had visited so I don't think any are too keen to be elected.

Rode to the polling station and cast my votes. Returning officer admired my bike. Then I pedalled off, tourist pace, on my usual loop.

First time I've been on the bike since my bout of sinusitis. Felt good to be back out.

A bit now, but easily remedied by a judicious dosing of things chocolatey.

'twould be all uphill for me & I'd be halfway there by the time I got to my bike.

Decided to have a go at the daughters bike since she's moving from the top of the highest hill to somewhere sensible. Realised that the hanger is bent & the mech can touch the spokes. Sadly the hanger is riveted to the mech so it may be a case of more turd polishing. Still, the Shimano levers work well.

Finally stuff has calmed down at work I am am back to normal activities like leaving on time etc.

Morning all

I was thinking about getting one of these as a gin dispenser for the next Cambridge meet up....

It might help us keep pace with @Hill Wimp's and @hopless500's consumption.

Would a fire engine be more suitable? Possibly paired with a tonic water cannon.

The Fragrant MrsP and I did this with our motorcycles a few years back from Narbonne to Paris. Great fun.

It happens to men of a certain age.

The wearer is not that old!

You're not supposed to wear them on your head.
