    Was dry when I woke up but decided to have a cuppa before running and it's now trying to flood the river further

    Today after the run will be mostly jobs, with sneaking a ride on the fun bike later

    After that will be a Sunday roast and a visit to the local

    Heading out for a ride.

    It will be wet.

    My winter boots will fill up with water.

    The remains of the day will be taken up with relaxing with red wine, cooking and music.

    Half decent lie in, as nothing to miss outside - its orrible. Most proper jobs done yesterday including a pension top up to generate next year's tax refund :) so may just do a few car related bits n bob's today.

    Coffee and lounging for now...

    Morning folks,
    Traditional slow start is being enjoyed, feeling marginally more human this morning. Off out to watch the lad play rugby later. Last home match as a youth squad so there is a bit of booze and cake after.

    Sun is out. Even looks quite pleasant out there. Must get sorted, then soft play area, then shopping, then... What an exciting life I lead. Hopefully the OH will finish early and I can go pedal.

    Laters.

    2.5 hours of being rained on, that wasn't so bad, surprisingly nasty wind though

    on the plus side it was mostly headwind outbound, the speed return was prodigious

    much hosing down was required

    60 miles before lunch, nice. Stopped for a few minutes and chatted to a squadron of tandem riders and thought, " what a great way to .spend a sunday morn!".

    Making chicken noodle soup now, then clean my shite encrusted bike.

    Lazy day today. Just spent the best part of two hours prepping a fish pie so better be worth it. Hoping to watch some athletic bottoms this afternoon before a family film.

    They look good. They are robust. They are cheap so you won't be worried about loosing them or breaking them.

    Well that was a rugby match. Missed the kick off by a few minutes, they had a minutes silence as one of the seniors first team had a jam attack and died on pitch yesterday. Match started scrappy and carried on that way. One of our number broke his collarbone 10 minutes in, another got KO'd later and one carried off having damaged his knee. A full on brawl erupted at one point to complete the picture. Thankfully they won after all that.

    They have bendy arms but just 'cos they're flexible, not 'cos they are hinged. Been using them for over 10 years. They do clear one's and Polaroid which really reduce glare but they are 30 to 40 odd quid. Prices have rocketed since I last bought them. Polaroid one's were about £27 and the plain dark one's about £7.50. Anyway, I used to write them off as an expense as they are 'safety glasses'.

    ...and as the Australians would add "...but no one was hurt".
