95% of the worlds supply of bloomers come from China..... fact.Why is it that everything seems to be from China these days. Expecting something but it won't be here for about 3 or 4 weeks.
Looks like we might have rain soon as well so moreis needed.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
OMG. I have just remembered that tomorrow is bin day. 
Nice and quiet on Croyde beach this morning.
Sea was a bit rough and there was one solitary surfer out there. Eejit.
You would think they would know better, especially after Sunday when they pulled a local well known surfer off the beach at Woolacombe. They couldn't revive him.
And here. So our black bin has to be out tonight as they are emptied about 0630.OMG. I have just remembered that tomorrow is bin day.
Ours has just been emptied.
They all work late round here.

Went for a walk, windy but the rain has held off so far. The landfill bin has been collected.

So chores done and after a brew I can clean the bike. Yesterday's puncture has deflated 
again. Bugger.
Just been to the LBS for bits 'n' bobs. I think I may have seen the ultimate in bike accessories which didn't need inventing!!
It's possible to buy a bottle cage with a small box which clips on to the base. The box contains a multi-tool. Now it's a very good Lezyne tool but £50 for the whole thing???? Buy a new jersey with big pockets for less 😄😄😄
I'm mean really? No wonder people take the piss out of roadies!

Forgot, though I shouldn't have. I happened to catch a few minutes of the BBC Live broadcast of the Memorial Day service.
I must say I thought this service with the minimum of people, quiet, no fuss, no crowds etc. was far more dignified than the usual ceremony.

Watched the last episode of The Queens Gambit on Netflix last night , sad its over, it was great. Anybody got any suggestions for good things to watch on the box? I go easy on myself from Mid November till next January begins and do little work and let the wonky old body replenish itself a bit . Just dragged out the treadmill and knocked the dust off it .
We don't watch any day time tv....not knocking it, its just something we have never done.
I record 2 daytime progs on "homes in the sun". TBH the voice of the presenter is dreadful and really grates but we enjoy looking at all the lovely holiday areas.
Then (in these dark afternoons) we switch on at 1600 to watch
Tipping point
The chase
The news.....maybe......if we are bothered.
The 2 recorded programs
Maybe some police interceptors progs .
And that's about it

I think I detect a slight contradiction there!
And I did. My Good Lady watches most of the daytime telly, I don't but catch the odd thing now and again.

I was cleaning the bathroom, came downstairs and they had just started the minutes silence, I hadn't realised what the time was, yes, the service without the crowds looks better.

I only look at Netflix very late at night , there are so many confounded choices on it and most of it is absolute rubbish , was looking for a gem like queens gambit that someone of my vintage would appreciate.
