Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

The ride along the canal upset my hayfever and gave me a nose bleed. Still a bit bunged up and my eyes are a little sore.
However, a really lovely day out.

Damn ITV 4, we were watching the TDF live, they cut to a long advert break and when we got back to the programme we had missed something really important good job they show the high lights at 7pm, at least we will get to see exactly what happened

Did you enjoy the rugby Lu?

Perhaps something stronger than water to celebrate?

(four Leicester men out there )

We didn't watch it but am thrilled to pieces, we will be celebrating later with a BBQ and a bottle (or 2)

I was watching on the Eurosport Player and it was awesome

Been out in shorts all day today.
Arch commented about the state of my calf muscles.
She may post photos at some point.

The artist just delivered the painting I bought (a bit unwieldy to carry on the bikes).

I love the juxtaposition of the subtle sunset and the brutal industrial skyline. It's Ellesmere port apparently.

It'll hang in my workshop for now, and then we'll see if we can find a place for it in the living room or bedroom.

A bit extravagant, but I got some money for my birthday from Mum, with instructions to buy something frivolous, so I think this counts.

TBH we don't actually watch much telly so we have freeview, no point paying out for endless channels we don't want or need.

I can see why it caught your attention, it does have something to say

Yes, it says "This is what you would see if you point a telescope to the west from NT's house just as the sun is setting.".
I really like it. The artist also had landscapes of wind turbines on green rolling hills but it was a bit too extravagant to buy two paintings.

I've always liked silhouetted skylines, and I like the way the pylons and chimneys replace the more traditional set of spires or skyscrapers.

She also had some landscapes with wind turbines in - just the modern equivalent of something Constable might have done with a windmill. (or watermill, as in Flatford).

I said to NT, it's even nicer that I'll always remember I bought it on a whim, on a jolly nice day out, so it'll have value to me above the aesthetic...

I thought it was Wigston

Thats why I have Eurosport Player £25 for the whole year means I can watch all the cycling when I had Sky it was costing me £34 per month

When we upgrade to a smart TV that is something I've been thinking of
