Well now? Here's today's great imponderable. 🤔 Can I open the discussion?

Sleety snow would be wetter and closer to rain. Snowy sleet would be drier and closer to snow? Both are equally foul.
Well ......to me it would depend on lots of variables eg
exactly what % is snow?
Exactly what is the water content?
And what colour are Mo's PJs ?
So many things to factor in ^_^

I noticed a lot of fog on Morvern side last night and suspected it could be snow as it is quite windy. Still foggy looking this morning but ok on this side of the sound and no snow but rain starting.
Ferries are still on amber tho' and no gangway at Craignure as only two boats in the fleet can use the existing gangway which was lashed up as a stop gap some years ago when the old one was on the point of collapse.
Corran ferry was off for a while yesterday as well which means it must have been really bad to stop them running.
My arm is very slightly sore due to bruising where I got the covid jag on Tuesday but otherwise I seem to have survived so far.

Good morning folks,
Nothing planned today, just a session on the turbo. I'm using the opportunity to break in a Brooks B17 saddle before fitting it on one of the Brommies. Time to put on a brew before facing the day.
Have a peaceful day folks

We have had two solid days of heavy rain. This morning no rain. Breakfast eaten, just about to go out walking, rain has started again!
We have weather warnings till Sunday and not looking that much better after that.

Barnet,
A friend of mine in Pert Australia says they are not only in lockdown due to covid, but they are now under threat of bushfire that are raging across the state. She has a bag all packed and ready to go if she needs to.😠
Our friends out ther have taken photos of the sky over Perth , the sun is obscured by the smoke. The fire is about 25 miles from them but coming nearer.


Good morning all fellow retirees. The dog has been walked and breakfast of poached eggs on toast has been eaten.

I think I have peaked too early. :laugh:

A bit of bike cleaning and fettling later and maybe a hour on the turbo.

Stay safe and drink more tea.:cuppa:

Busy driving day for today. No more getting up before daylight for me for a while now.

I much prefer the standard saddle which comes with the Brompton. So much so that I got another for the Bike Friday. I have a B17 which is sheer torture and I have persevered for long enough so it is going. Not sure where yet but not on any bike I might ride.
