[matthat]

Off to work now!! Hadn't realised tonights tour stage was an evening affair!! Woo hoo I'll be able to see it live rather than dodge the news until the highlights!! Have a good day folks!

I'm up and about to make a

Morning everyone.

Edit: Arch beat me to the kettle!

 

[Night Train]

We are going to visit the Biospheric Project urban farm in Salford today.

 

[Arch]

2.30 wide awake. There is a party going on in the distance, a proper big speaker ragga party. On the other side of the house to our bedroom, so Lu is sound asleep. But, I bet those half a mile closer to it than me are pretty miffed right now.

Oh dear. I'll tell Mum to keep it down a bit next time....

another warm day.

I will be off out for a ride later finishing up in York later on this afternoon for the Cycle Racing round the centre, and rumour has it they will have the TDF on a big screens dotted around York.

Bonjour

I'm not coping very well with crowds so we might find somewhere with a big screen and sit and watch the race from there as a plan B. We'll see.

The thing is you'll often get a better view that way, as the TV cameras see all the race, not just the blurs in Lycra. Where ever you are, arm yourself with some properly French food, and bottles of Orangina or wine as your preference takes you. I've always found Orangina a wonderful drink in France, much nicer than it is here, I think it's like Guinness it doesn't travel well. Of course when I drink it in France I'm always hot from cycling so that might be something to do with it....

We're taking a picnic out with us today, bread, cheese, ham and salad.

Pity we're t'other side of t'ills this weekend! Mind you, racing isn't something I'm so bothered to watch. I enjoyed the Brompton relay a couple of years ago though.

Surely Jo could have stayed at home to watch it on telly?

Enjoy the atmosphere @coffeejo where ever you watch from.

Morning all, yes please to after what feels like weeks the temperature in the house has finally dipped below "hotter than hades" this morning and small people slept last night finally, although they woke up very early this morning at 5 am & I am even more not with it and after decimating the fruit bowl they now are asking for pancakes - they are waiting I need more coffee before being put near a gas flame.

Mr Puddles is having his shift changed all over the place due to 2 naughty people being sacked at his work so I have lost track completely of when he is & isnt home, small peoples social whirlwind calendars have ramped up to epic proportions, my printer has broke-ed which is a pain as school has just emailed all the holiday homework needing printing and eleventy million forms for printing & signing Just discovered all Maggot's holiday swimming clothings for going away with parents need adjusting at the waist cos she should be fatter - currently they look like clown pants (tis very odd they fit everywhere else but the elastic has no room to ping in as it were & all different stores too)

On the upside the ironing is done and it is 14 days till both small people disappear for 16 days and I shall have to remember what I did with myself before small people arrived!

Ah, but so much better to run the French's nose in a British* victory when you're actually there!

*Well, Kenyan via Monaco or something..

Was watching the TDF last night and I have to say I was impressed with Chris Froomes crowd control -> CLICK HERE some of those people were getting out of control

 

[gavroche]

What am I going to watch on telly tomorrow? TDF will be finished then. Might go in hibernation till next July.

 

[coffeejo]

Having a lazy morning before we head into Paris. Nice to have some peace and quiet though would rather be sitting in a cafe than hotel. Ah the joys of coach tours. Keep reminding myself I wouldn't be here otherwise and ignoring the voice that says how good that sounds. Had a bit of a breakdown last night. So grateful that my friend is incredibly patient and understanding.

Cooler and cloudier here than of late. After a distinctly slow start I'm off for a
And possibly a while I'm out.
