There is dark and really dark. Walking in the dark is not normally a problem for me but on that occasion it was darker than anything I had experienced before.
I once mountainbiked with a friend to the B845 at Glen Nant from Musdale above Oban. We approached the forest round Loch Nant at sunset. By the time we were in the forest we were in total darkness - it was scary! We had puny front lights which were only just enough to ride by. If those had packed up we would have had to find our way out by feel because we couldn't even see the trees around us without them.

It was bloody spooky seeing our lights reflected in the eyes of creatures in the distance from time to time!

Morning all.
Todays news
1. Looks like MrsDs jab is off. The gp said she would phone with a time but she didn't. We will phone at 08 15 to find out why.
2. Ants!!! I mentioned that we were getting them but I can't find where they are coming from. This morning there are 100s of the little b*stards. Still can't see where they come from.
3. Late night last night.....talking with our son. So slept till 06 30 today.
4. Some B*STARD stole our green bin sticker. I went to put it away, it hadn't been emptied. Then I saw where they had ripped it off.

Good day..........6⁰, grey and still, a bit uninspiring really.

Hmmm.........well not a great deal to say. I'm riding at 9.00 which will be good once I get on the bike. Momentum is building in the club for gravel rides and today's ride is a good chance to discuss this.

Enthusiasm levels seem to be dipping. Having a lot to do is the key. Beginning of the week I could see loads of stuff which needed doing. It's all been done.

I have to submit a tax self-assessment. It shouldn't be necessary but the investment company I took a drawdown from deducted tax which it shouldn't. My FA undertook to sort out the tax situation, HMRC underpaid and my FA is no longer responding to email.

For years I held a deep suspicion of FAs and similar occupations. Slowly my FA built my confidence but her increasing failure in recent months to address minor issues has significantly damaged that trust. This coincides with a large expansion in the company. A number of queries to different people in the business remain unanswered. Nothing earth-shattering but important to me.

It takes years to build a reputation and days to lose it. I think I'm going to have to tell her this. Something I am loathe to do.
