Bit sultry here. No sun but mild.
Put toots and OH together for the off and then i'll go pedal.
Hungover @seanoconn ?

Que es 'spud muncher'? A tattie bogle?
Lazy day. Legs and other assorted limbs acheing after yesterday's exertions so binned off the ride until tomorrow when getting #1 daughter out on her bike for the first time since she froze solid in that easterly barsteward wind and snow deluge a while back. Different conditions now 👍

c. twenty years ago, may've been updated, click picture to embiggen
the greek stuff, including marbles of dubious provenance is good too, if you can get a time without crowds

Any two will do, I’m really not fussy. Unless you wear your baggy trousers and can squeeze all four in your pockets.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0 -
sunshine has brought out the hordes, it's like a mosh pit at the back of harrods
bring back lockdown
my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
'Ning, kinda
Went for one of those quick runs which turned into anything but.
18 degrees plus the whole way, humid, overcast and no wind even before adding a sweaty fat guy into the mix.
The weather and extra length meant I fkd up my hydration so went about 2.5 hrs with nothing to drink. The gate posts were turning into farm animals towards the end
Managed a photo so I guess it's worth it:

Just walked to the old dear's to check on fish and plant life. The pubs on the common were heaving, it was enough to dissuade me from stopping to check on my hydration level. Nice out though, you wouldn't think that's SW London. There's 6 lanes of A3 under those trees in the distancesungod said:sunshine has brought out the hordes, it's like a mosh pit at the back of harrods

drove back from Edwyns and it was carnage out there at 6, looks like a drunk bomb has exploded.
Plod are gonna be busy tonight......The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

It never rains.... Was out at a friend's for a BBQ in their back garden, had a nice day in the sun.
In the way back, was feeling a little nauseous. Mention it to wife and she says the same. Currently laid out on the sofa trying to watch the CL final with a bucket next to me and have already had a couple of trips to the loo to ahem well, less said about that the better. Wife is doing similar upstairs.
There was a stomach bug going round the boys nursery earlier in the week, but he seemed to have escaped unharmed, maybe it was that, maybe something at the BBQ.0 -
At least all that bog roll you stockpiled 15 months ago will come in handy but sounds like an extreme way to get down to racing weight to me.elbowloh said:It never rains.... Was out at a friend's for a BBQ in their back garden, had a nice day in the sun.

Hope you're better tomorrow.0 -
Eurgh, not what you need Elbow. Hope it passes quickly if you get my drift.
Lots of drunks shouting at the pub down the road. I guess there's some sort of football going on. Time for a beer.0 -
Sure was some football going on. We won't be hearing from Slowmart and Pinno for a whileveronese68 said:Eurgh, not what you need Elbow. Hope it passes quickly if you get my drift.

Grooogh. Hope it passes soon elbow. You guys are veggie aren't you? Less likely to get ill from a veggie bbq, none of those charred yet raw bangers.
Rode from SW20 to MiL in E11. Took the longer route via Chelsea Bridge and embankment, via the pro Palestine protest in Parliament Square. Cycle track full of idiot tourists to the Tower, then through Whitechapel,
Stepney, Bow and Stratford. Past the Cart & Horses in Maryland (birthplace of Iron Maiden). Moderate easterly headwind made it a decent workout to keep up a tempo. Hour and 10. Beat the car by 50 minutes.
Lovely dim sum and noodle feast delivered from Panda dim sum on leytonstone High Road. They make their own dim sum rather than buy them in. If you're in the area, big recommend from me. Gorgeous fiery szechuan chilli dipping sauce.0 -
Congrats SteveO - good might on the footy front..

Hair is drying nicely on the line.
Didn't watch the football. For me, it is up there with the Eurovision song contest as a spectacle.
Mind you, I suppose it could be said that it is nice for a plucky little club to win a trophy.
