Evening Aldi trek bought on by more a need to dispose of plastic bags in a recycling bin than the need for shopping beyond bananas. Sun was annoying on the westerly return. Initially it was to the NW but then when further south it was virtually W, then too low, then back up again.
The loose chipped roads appear to have a layer of tar spread over them except on one corner where a 2005 Smart car appears to sit 24/7 and the tar goes nearly around it.

It brightened up quite nicely this afternoon so that I was able to get a brisk 40 mile ride in. Still quite chilly though thanks to a northerly breeze so I'm looking forward to the promised warmth of next week.

A new shower head and hose were fitted before I had my post ride shower. They were then removed, the correct washers installed and everythng re-fitted when more water came out of the fittings than the shower head.

Yesterday's bin has just bin collected 👍

Yesterdays bin and tomorrows may never be full...

Right, time for action. Well cycling, à nos velos mes enfants.

A wonderful couple of hours wandering through the fruit fields. Great joy seeing all the trees in bloom. Watching the creeping increase of vines with mixed feelings.

Then, just a little "head on" with a gormless bird in a Fiat 500. How could she not bother to slow down and try to take me out with her wing mirror?
Think she understood that I wasn't impressed. Well actually afraid. It was a bit rude and heat of the moment.

I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to have an ice cream.

A bit of a bistsas supper here tonight. The last of the breaded cod, cold, with a dollop of tartare sauce, the last of the beetroot, the last of the pasta and and some cheesy garlic bread.

Watching Selby v Woollaston. Such an absorbing match.

Right, more of the house tidied today as I've made the toilet at least remotely pleasant! 😊🤣

I have also started collecting my washing into bin bags, sorted to type of garment, so I need to do some maHOOSSIVE washes!!

Penultimate working day of the week completed. I worked from home today and it was so nice and peaceful instead of an office full of noisy people.

I had a nice twenty miles after work on the single speed. Weather not quite a nice as yesterday. Some headwind in evidence.

I'm hoping to do a little overnight tour this weekend. Just doing some route planning.

Dos that imply camping for the overnighter?

Anyway, off out for a little refreshment now. John Smiths might not be high class, but it does the job

... If anyone wants a Tennents beermat, then just ask!

M21 or M22?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Cruzcampo beermat, anyone?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

M21 or M22?

M17 actually, so it's 8 years old, or nearly anyway.

The old crown stamps were abolished years ago and in their place... CE stamps.

It is saying 0126 though, which means it was made in Cheshire... I think...
