Ahh Porth Daffarch yes ???

Porthdafarch, yes. Sunny, wind force 6, gusting 7. Empty beach, apart from the four windbreaks huddled together on the left, lovely.

Good morning all from planet Majorca where it is another fine and sunny day.
Bike ride today, just a 20ish trundle stopping off whenever the mood takes me. I have my binoculars with me......wrong time of the year for estuary birds but it makes it a more interesting trundle.
Enjoy your day folks.

Spot anything interesting?

Morning folks.

Wet again

Ready to go.

Which one did you choose?

I have signed up to a drug trial for a new pain killer drug for Arthritis, especially in the knees and hips. I have passed the phone interview, so tomorrow I will cycle over to the Mount Vernon Hospital near Rickmansworth for a MRI scan and a talk to the doctor about everything that is involved. I still may not be what they are looking for, but anything that may help the pain I sometimes suffer in my right knee will help.

Good luck with that. Sounds interesting, let us know how you get on. I'm looking for something like that for myself

Spot anything interesting?

Good views of an Egret.
And a BIG butterfly which I think I have ID'd via mr Google.
Trundled all round the port......WoW it is so different to what I recall from 37 years ago.

My washing is out now. I don't know for how long though.

Did you get it dry or did the heavens open yet again?

Headline news in north wales' Gazette.
"3 men suffocated when a large pair of bloomers blew off the line and landed in the next garden. Medical staff say they could not be saved as the damage was too severe".

On the other hand they could have thought they had died and gone to paradise

There may be legal action taken against you

Back from our 22 miler now.
Forecast was for white cloud - not a mention of rain.
What did it do?
We got to the highest point on the ride and the heavens opened!
@#%*&$@% weather forecasters!

Useless!!!

I did get it dry.

I did get it dry.

Bet you are happy about that
At least you can get on with the ironing
