24 miles on the ebike this morning. That's the ton broken.

That's quick I only thought they did 15.5 MPH......have you been paying with it

Ginger biscuits were made for dunking

This weekend we decided to contact the hotel in Turkey and ask for a change in holiday dates, they do not have to do this as I booked no cancellation, being the nice Turkish people that they are it seems they have agreed, I was expecting to lose my near £700 flight tickets, but no only a few minutes ago an email from Easy Jet to say the flight is cancelled and that we can have a refund, result.

I've been for a short run in the unexpected sunshine 🌞, left quadriceps started getting sore which tells me that I'm subconsciously carrying my right leg which had recently been playing up.

Got back and serviced both Brommies, I even took the chains off and put them in an ultrasonic cleaner, then relubricated everything and even polished the paintwork
That's a few Brownie points in credit for the next time I transgress 😁

I speak to them every day......does that not help ?

Dunno - Prince Charles.

Pouring down in Cheshire..........seriously pouring down

We did get rain, enough for rain jackets, but nothing too serious. It was obvious there had been very heavy rain earlier.

You best transgress very soon, as Brownie points do not last long before they expire.

Another walk done. That’s 13 miles for the day. Very pleasant and a few chats along the way. Nice couple from Edinburgh who were enjoying our walks, then a woman I know on her horse so I got a horsey fix too. I do enjoy seeing them.

The promised thunder storm never arrived.. its sunny/cloudy now.

The Eagle has landed.
View from our side window.

Tis a bit rainy on Dartmoor at the moment.
Dropped into the pub, down the road, for lunch after we had set up.
Had the best pint for a long time!

Perfectly kept, perfect temperature and in peak condition.
I had to compliment the landlady.

I've swept and mopped the lounge, hall kitchen and bathroom, having a before vacuuming the bedrooms and stairs then changing the bed. With not cycling this morning I'm doing the chores so tomorrow is clear for a bike ride.

Have an energy drink drink on me🍺🥃🍷🍻

@Dave7 this is the route we took, not one of mine as I don't know the area well from a cycling perspective.

Any suggestions for improvement would be gratefully received.

Just had a clap, the first of many.

Beautiful but cruel and horrible.
Like so much of the animal kingdom.

But they don't kill by the thousands , like humans do.
