Sat in the hairdresser's drinking coffee whilst my good lady has her hair done.

I have bimbled. Just 16 miles but I am happy with that. Frosty in places especially on the A470 but once on the B road it was gorgeous .there was a horrible smell at one point and then there was the reason. A load of dung poooeyyy.

Excellent.
What sort of mileage do you manage in summer?

Well done, shame you're so far away, I'm sure the farmer wouldn't miss a couple of bucket fulls, and I'm sure that stuff would do the garden good.

I was talking to a fella that had brought his wife in and he was saying he's still cycling, and he's 88, which is a superb effort.

To be honest i am rather a fair weather cyclist, but this year i intend to get out a lot more so watch this space. I go on my own and last year only managed around 1200 miles. Hopefully i will improve on that.

Don't watch that programme. Frosty knickers?

No knickers?

No knickers?

I knew that would amuse you.

It is going to be a cracking day here. Blue skies and sunshine. What fab weather

Bike ride?

 

[welsh dragon]

Bike ride?

Yep. Got back about an hour ago

Off down to the beach (Saunton Sands) for a doggie walk in a mo, then a long walk down to the village for a spot of lunch.
Cut the front lawn yesterday, might do the rear this afternoon.
Bumped into an interesting chap on my walk yesterday. Got chatting to him and it turned out he was a Brummie living locally, who was a guitarist. He'd been a founder member of several bands including Magnum.

I can remember the track 'Can I play with Madness'
Used to get air time on the BRMB rock show. There was a dj called Robin Valk who used to play them alot along with the Steve Gibbons band
