Feeling a bit broken today, must ride more and get fit.
After sunbathing weather yesterday it looks like it might snow later.

Tail wind out, bus home?

Bit chilly and a bit windy and sunny. Which is better than yesterday's John Major.

Today will be mowstly sorting stuff. One of those jobs where it fills you with a sense of sleep and yawning but a sort of elation when you are finished.

First, food shopping. More yawning.

At the risk of more voodoo....

Nice day for doing not too much. View just now for drinks

Morning. After yesterday's wheelspinner type weather we've gone full circle, currently going between very cold and blowy and hail come snow. Typical UK Easter bank holiday. Not planning a lot today other than being lazy or maybe a run later.

cold, windy, just had strawberries and cantuccini to fortify me for cafe stroll

Sunny here so far, but apparently cold (not been out yet). Taking an age to get kids fed, watered, cleaned and dressed. Going to Wakehurst Place this afternoon, meeting the in-laws there.

Morning all, didn't book any time off so I'm 'working' from home. Noticed on the weekend that I appear to be getting ill. I don't think swollen neck glands are a sign of covid so I think I'll just take a rest week from riding and bounce back fatter and less motivated...

+1 with the cold.

5 degrees it says on the outside thermometer, a big change from yesterday, when thankfully it was warm enough for outside dinner with the family.

Last night I banked up the fire, and this morning it's all toasty, which made the brief appearance of some snow all the more appropriate.

Will go in the shed later if i can find some @rsed and make some bits for my telescope cabinet.

How's the shoulder/arm/neck pain WS? (I've run out of pins now so don't worry)

Was snowing very lightly for a bit while walking the hounds this morning, looks like we entered a time warp overnight and ended up back in February. Bit of lazing followed by a few jobs to follow once coffee has been supped.

Still rubbish. Marginally less rubbish than a couple days ago, but still.... rubbish.

Have to try and get some treatment this week, but not sure who to start with. Also have to fit it in with floor tiler coming starting tomorrow, dentist on Friday and son's taxi duty requirements.

Wind, sun, wind, snow, wind and then really windy run around church Stretton, now a few jobs before cider

Afternoon. Rest day today - made the most of yesterday’s nice weather and went gravel riding. Rapha’s Hell of the North route.



One of them new fangled gravel bikes.

Afternoon. Rough day following a rough night caused by the cold lovingly shared by GTi jr settling in my throat so loads of coughing therefore no sleep. Still, watched a bit of cycling, got absolute radio indie disco on, cough starting to ease a bit now. Painkillers and a walk outdoors might help.

Hope you’re feeling better soon, John.

Thanks Ben - fresh air helped 🙂

Work here, easter don't mean nothing to my lords and masters.

Just been to go and get a bottle of beer - it's bloody freezing.

Anyone know anything about entry level SUPs? Fancy something to play with when we are on holiday next week.

Were you having a lie down after the run TLW?

Bright side bought from a local shop who engaged on a bank holiday night

I had 32 SUP ii reflex's on Record Titanium 8 speed hubs (clinchers) built in the late 90's.

Stiff, smooth but very harsh.

No, you're right - he ain't that lucky.
