Gotten morgen. A little cooler and damper here today. And I mean outdoors, not in my Y fronts

Makes a change.

Morning all, it's raining so MrsP has already cancelled her first ride in many years, she has decided to go to garden centres instead. My new old bike is being delivered today. The dog and I will be out across the fields no matter what the weather is.
An indoor day of domesticity beckons interspersed with watching the TDF.

At least there's some hills today. Yesterday was slightly boring.

9 miles from home and the skies opened, I might as well of been in the pool I was that wet, still came back with a big smile on my face though,

Good morning - It's raining, so a planned ride to the allotment is not going to happen. I tend to be a fair weather cyclist and allotmenteer. I was going to try out my newly overhauled Trek bike for the ride too.

Agreed, Today is the first day in the Pyrenees, with a few big climbs. The race starts properly from now.

Off out somewhere today. Haven't a clue where, but probably West of Blandford.

Due to the early rain my ride had a late start and was only a short one, 46 miles. The interesting bit was Netherwood Lane riding away from Baddesley Clinton, I had to swerve to avoid a small snake, possibly a junior grass snake, that was crossing the road, the first time I've seen a snake like that in years.

Baking hot so hiding in pool. Started to plumb in an irrigation kit for raised beds containing tomatoes, aborted when sun was overhead. Pool seems to have a magnet that stops me from getting out. Maybe later

I don't have an excuse for today, it's only 30°. The water timers sit idle and not connected. Still, its nice bobbing about on an inflatable lounger with a beer. Later when I wonder down to inspect the potager and see drooping vegetation I will probably swear a few times under my breath before dragging a 75 metre hose full of water about the place.
I could do with a servant but my wallet won't stretch to such luxuries.
