Better than me - just 50 miles this morning. But then I did have to be back home as I'd been asked to listen in to an online presentation ahead of Brexit for the second day running.

Beautifully sunny and quite mild day, with a bit of a breeze and I am seriously getting narked with the state of the roads - constantly wet and slippery and now with added mud as the beet harvest is in full swing and the lanes are just too small for the size of trucks picking up the harvest to take to British Sugar in Bury St. Edmunds.

Why isn't there the cycling equivalent of a drive through car wash?

I have to fit my cycling round looking after my Good Lady, make sure she's had her morning cuppa, breakfast and medication before I go out, and I can't be too late getting back as I have to get her a dinner time sandwich and cuppa when I get home, restricts me to 50-60 mile rides.

Completely mundane news for everyone except me: my Christmas present to myself this year was to pay off what remained of my mortgage. With interest rates so low it's not worth saving so as of this afternoon the pile of bricks, cement and tiles I call 'home' is all mine.

As a result I'll have £500 a month less expenses. Wonder how many bikes I can get? :blush:

Well done.

How do we interpret the fact that these apparently government designed battery powered pigeons keep pooing on us?
You think it's 'pigeon poo' when in reality it's a sophisticated tracking system designed to monitor 'individuals of interest'.
They're dropping the information gathered*, having mistaken you for their handler.

*In the same way some satellite's drop/return exposed film to earth.

during the worst of our covid shutdown, I left the house on two separate occasions, with my pants on inside out. not realizing it until I reached for non existent pockets. at lest they were track pants, so I don't think anyone at the grocery store noticed

I can go one better than that.A friend of our daughter,who is still at Uni.Has said her dad is a plastic surgeon.And if she gets it he will do a complete blood transfusion and take away the covid.I kid you not,this is a true story.
Her dad probably told her that to stop her panicking. You know how easily that can happen these days.

On another topic, getting dressed in the dark has to be the best excuse ever to only buy grey socks.
 
Buy black ones, you can get various shades if grey!

Don't worry, guys... If you end up wearing odd socks, you can rest comfortably in the assurance that you have an absolutely identical pair lurking somewhere in your smalls drawer :giggle:
