Tales from today's commute....

Rain held off. Waterproof pants went in bin.

Clobber in washer, shoes on the dehumidifier, and will stay there.

New pants delivered before I got home.

Don't worry, the BBC headlines will let us all know when it rains in London.

Whacky Races are back. 10 mins later than ususal and parent driver chaos outside William Hulme School in Whalley Range. An email is going in.

Got to drop young Tarquin right outside the door. Stuff any kid or cyclist that stops me.

It's not raining 'oop' North this morning. Bit nippy like.

Fresh but dry up north this morning, two deer and a fox spotted this morning with more squirrels than you could shake a stick at. Few of the regular joggers dog walkers and cyclists spotted enjoying the drier weather

Dry here but definitely starting to feel Autumnal. Arm warmers on. And cap needed for low sun.

[Andy in Germany]

Wow. I'm still -just- able to wear short sleeves and no fleece on the way into work.

I probably could have managed without the arm warmers, but at 11C, definitely prefer to have them on.

Plenty warm enough this evening for the ride home.

Took the car in for MOT service etc., so went for a very pleasant rural ride whilst it was being done. Among other interesting things I saw were a padre driving up to his church in a Mercedes C250D with personalised number plates and an Alvis Stalwart parked ( just - ! ) in a small front garden. The Stolly was definitely in need of a fair bit of tlc, so must be the owners wee project for those quieter moments - !

Dryer today. Started raining about half way, but not enough to stop for waterproofs. Had overshoes on anyway due to damp roads.

There was a parking enforcement officer outside the 'school' this morning !

Another nice, warm cycling commute this morning down here in the Southern of Englandshire.

Wish there was parking enforcement officers outside the main School I pass every morning. Can be hellish with 4x4 school run motons.

Parking enforcement officers wouldn't be able to do anything, because they aren't "parking".

They can only be done for causing an obstruction, which is a police matter.

Decent ride both ways yesterday, my new "storage area" didn't get any moaning. However, it will only fit one bike in, need to look at some kind of upright stand.
