Been out for a little mtb ride, sun is warm but not so the wind, quite bracing at times !
I wonder how our local councillor is feeling today, as of last night he is now our local MP. As a councillor he seemed to have a great work life balance, he was always out and about posting photo’s and videos from his bike commutes, his local runs, his bus journeys. Now he’s going to be swapping all of that for the drudge of the Sunday/Friday commuting to London and all the awfulness of that place Mon-Fri. I hope he knows what he’s letting himself in for !

Following my appointment at the dentist this morning I decided on a little amble down the High Street and along the quay before cutting back up the Old Town and back to the Bus station. The level crossing gates were down so I had to haul myself over the footbridge over the railway line that crosses the High Street. There were a few boarding a boat for a harbour tour, or perhaps the " Jurassic Coast " tour which goes further afield, or maybe even the trip that takes you around the coast and up the river to Wareham if the tides are favourable. When I first started running back in the early 80's we'd meet up at a pre arranged spot on a Thursday evening, usually a pub car park. After a few months we were fortunate to be offered the use of the " Viking Club " on Poole Quay. Unfortunately it was on the top floor of the building and the final challenge after an evening run was to make our way up several flights of stairs. It's there that I met the lady who was to become Mrs Tkk 😎
As I headed back up the high street I spotted a Mural I'd not noticed before, now the chances are that it's been there for years and I just haven't " seen " it.

It’s been the coolest summer here for several years I think. Not complaining though as I am enjoying it.
Maybe we’ll get an Indian summer and have a gorgeous September

Started watching the cycling on Eurosport as it started earlier than ITV4 but I might switch at 2.30 as I think I prefer their coverage.

Watching an old NCIS. It’s back to the first series. Gosh, the actors look so much younger. Shows how long it’s been running!
