Please no more. I have a serious, no very serious, aversion to spiders.

It's Friday night, tea is made - kedgeree, I have a G&T, it's quiz night at 7.30. Perfect. Then a problem arises........
I have a love affair with my Cervelo C3. She is the perfect bike for me. I have to be realistic though and I know in the long-term she will have to be replaced. I have decided this will happen soon, in time for summer. Many bikes have been considered. I was heading towards the Pinarello X series............then I googled "Cervelo C3 successor".........oh what a mistake.......or is it fate.........are we star crossed lovers ❤️❤️❤️
Cervelo Caledonia. Oh my, oh my. Do I need this before I get old??????

Nice bike.
I trust you would go for the Sram equipped version.
It also has a more compact crankset. 😁

Right - picked kids up from school
got them home
Little one (4) burst into tears outside the car
could not understand what he was saying through the tears - except the word "window"
turned out that when I was getting his bag from the other side of the car to his seat
He noticed that his window was 2 inches down
he must have been playing with the buttons and left it open
and was worried that he would be told off
He is a sensitive soul!!!
anyway - we're back home and tea has been had
gluten free chicken goujons cooked in the air fryer - plus frozen M&S chips fro me and mash for my wife
not bad - GF chicken was from Tesco and the same price as the normal ones - which is nice to see
anyway that's done
got them home

I’ve finished This City is Ours. Quite enjoyed it. I will probably watch Death in Paradise at 9 and that will do me for tonight.

So not a fan of the first album by Space then?
Drove back from Newcastle today, came off the A1 at Richmond and drove cross country to Leeds, so glad I did, it’s absolutely stunning.
Stopped at a lovely barn in Wensleydale for a coffee (my son had ice cream)
My son has an offer at Leeds so we stopped off for another look at the campus
Home now, feet up with a single malt

Leeds is a great city, your son will have a blast, Gunk!
I seem to recall the Uni had the longest corridor in Europe when it was built (from when we looked around years ago!). Daughter had a placement year there with Unilever - loved it!
Well, here we are: our daughter & bf leave for Lyon airport this morning. Sadly their bus is at 6am, so guess who is driving them down the mountain. Double yawn 🫣

Good morning, probably up before Mo sets off on her meanderings 😮.
Woke just before 03:00 and realised that I wouldn't be getting back to sleep so decided to get up. There's a few of us meeting up for breakfast after parkrun this morning, a sort of belated birthday get together for Mrs Tkk and friends. Another sunny day forecast and my energy app has alerted me that leccy prices will dip as low as 0.47p mid afternoon, so time to put the washing machine/ dishwasher/ immersion heater on to make the most of it.
Training for Edinburgh not going too well, hopefully it starts to click into place soon.

Goof morning.
Like Kev I woke a 2 so got up and watched TV sport for 2 hours then went back to bed.
Listening the R2 now, SoTS.
Over 1000 confirmed dead now in the earthquake. Only 6 weeks back grandson #2 spent had finished 12 weeks holiday there, that's scary.

Good morning all.
A lovely sunny start to the day here.
We're listening to Tony Blackbum on the radio and the first mug of tea is being drunk
I woke up twice during the night for a pee,which is unusual, although my legs are a little swollen which will be fluid retention as I. Not as active as normal.
Another day of gentle exercise and I'll watch the FA cup games on the telly box this afternoon.
Enjoy your day everyone.
