Waiting for Sunday's sunrise

Windy here and currently cold.
Camping on a cliff top above the sea probably wasn't the best plan last night and glad I brought the big sleeping bag.

    Morning.
    Watching the sunrise.
    Gentle breeze but tad cool.
    Quick ride out shortly then family stuff.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    ciao

    flopped out on couch having coffee then either bambino to tennis or Zwift/weights.

    generally a lazy day planned tbh.

    Tent or van Thistle? Grand view there though Gromit.

    Awake early (for me) again, I don't do mornings, must be this equinoxial daylight stuff. Sun shining again. De-gunge the graveller, for once, and head for the chalk and flint. Should have dried out, enough.

    You need a camper van - would suit your lifestyle

    Slow start after a day of ale and bbqs. The last one waited for us to get there at 20:00 but thankfully they were already drinking so I didn’t stand out

    Today is a run with a pal and then enjoy the sun and obviously the pub

    Lovely sunny start. Get some compost, pot a rose. Walk the dog on Wimbledon Common along with no doubt half the world. Pub lunch, walk home, groan about being full.

    I could have sworn that was the West Coast of Scotland Thistle.

    Bright here.
    The Ministry of Muppetry is in full swing.
    Birds are fed.
    Coffee has been consumed.
    Managed 45mins on the rollers yesterday which is better than I expected and not feeling to bad today. Slowly slowly on the up.

    What's this morning thing I keep hearing hearing about?

    Had to get up early as we had another bloke come round at 9 to quote for doing the decking. That's just antisocial. Out with the hounds soon.

    Morning folks,
    Traditional slow start is being enjoyed, thankfully no hangover. Going to Wombledon shortly to meet friend's daughter with baby that's been having all the trouble. Things are a little more settled on that front at least. Might take a walk on the common, or more likely in the town. Probably get some lunch as well. Going to wobble over on the pub hack so parking isn't an issue. Go and see the old dear after.

    That's your own fault, remember all the Ps being discussed last week. Poor planning is only 2 Ps and look where that got you.

    9 am is anti-social?!
    ...and there's no way you were getting jiggy with it, that hasn't happened in 19 years, so don't give me that guff.

    Be grateful a trader turned up... on a Sunday too!

    van Thistle? Jumbo Visma or Quick Step?

    must admit I hadn't heard of him but with a name like that he's bound to be mega.

    bought a large adj. from Edwyns and me and Young Thomas behind the counter and Gretchen behind me in the queue had a good laugh about beating Boris Johnson with it.

    Just got back from having teen GTi jabbed for the second time. May well end up on zwift later. Bit of work to do, shouldn’t take too long

    Pasty for breakfast, 30 mile cycle followed by steak bake. I’m not going to hit my target weight at this rate.

    Dog walked, roast chicken eaten, 0.3% beer drunk. Feet up. Crossword being crossed. No doubt Mrs H³ will be along to air her displeasure.
