Nah.......I cycled and actually got over 13mph for the first time in weeks........shock to the system!

It was you that made the Earth move then!

Yay! It's Fish Friday!

Just dropped MrsD down the village to get her hair done.
The Bank Holiday traffic is building up now, so had to use the local rat runs to get back.
Will have a walk down to the village at lunchtime.

Leeds and Liverpool canal,there is a treatment works along it,it pongs sometimes well always in hot weather,the fish at that stretch are like submarines.

The Forth and Clyde canal at Clydebank was a bit like that but it was warm water from the old Singer Sewing Machine factory. At the Fair holidays when people went off doon the watter for a fortnight they chucked their goldfish in there and they thrived.

Ahhh........we are back! Funny how I miss it when I can't get in.

I had an early spin and enjoyed a lovely sunny morning. Long since finished breakfast and a few cuppas. Not sure what the rest of the day holds. I need someone to tell me it's Fish Friday as I keep thinking it's Saturday for some reason!

Oh, and after a short experiment thinking I would like to go back to flat pedals, I've changed my mind again. At first I thought I enjoyed the freedom of being able to move my feet around, but then it started to annoy me as they occasionally seemed to end up moving when I didn't want them to even with spiky pedals so stuck the SPD's back on for the morning ride. I will stick with them on all the bikes apart from the mountain bike I think.

But then you won’t be able to sit outside the café, one leg nonchalantly draped over the other and showing of your latest pair of Five Tens…

Five Tens are so old school dahling! I have Specialized Roost 2FO's

Which canal was that ?
I was chatting to a fisherman on the Sankey canal who told me he was from Stafford and that people travel from all over to country to fish there. Apparently its particularly well known for Pike.

Bridgewater canal - on the spur going down into Runcorn
A few months ago a man started calling to me as I was riding along the bit approaching Moore - turned out he had caught a big pike and had both hands full - but needed a photo to prove it or his mates would never believe him!!!

So - there are fish in them there canals!!!

Picked MrsD up and fought my way back from the village - traffic consisting mainly of Motorhomes and SUVs registered in London.
Just had a fiddle around in my tater sack - ooer mother - and this little blighter popped out.

My very first home grown spud!
Feeling quite chuffed now - off to village local to celebrate.

Morning all, got to stay in as they said they are going to pick this hire car up, I wish they would hurry up

Why? Do you have a busy day ahead?

Can you get pills for this?

 

[PaulSB]

Where's the complaints department? What does this Shaun bloke think he's up to when retirees get up early! Hmmm?

Grey and warm here. I've skipped today's ride even though it's a great route. I was totally nackered last night when the chat was going on so I dipped out. Glad I did as I feel better for it.

Cleaning out the fridge at the moment. Frankly it's disgusting. Then I'll do minor odds and sods I should have done yesterday but had no energy for.

Daughter from Stoke on Trent is coming tomorrow morning for the long week end. Her boy friend is bringing his bike too so I need to plan a route for Sunday's ride, weather depending of course. I will mix a few hills at the beginning and the promenade on the way back.
