    Morning, sounds like you made it home SG. WFW bimbled in on tredder and usual Thursday evening night ride. Might actually need lights.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Oxo - mates Strava update from Cannock last night included lights ๐Ÿ˜ข

    Chilled start as WFH, later in my dreams is a ride but looking at the forecast itโ€™s at the club swimming

    Morning

    Went running this morning due to the forecast later and for other reasons which I think have proved unnecessary.
    Gym later, then try to find the towel I used after swimming at the beach on Monday which was last seen somewhere in the car and hasn't made it into the wash yet.

    It's these council cut backs SG.

    Pretty grey and drizzly here. I guess it's all sun and blue skies over Fort Loon (hee hee).
    Got woken up really early by BT engineery walah... who tells me the internal extension is duff. Bollox, bollox, bollox.
    That means today I shall be routing a cable but on the plus side, he's left me the proper stuff and will come back to do 2 x 631A. If he could have just left me the crimps...

    I've got a proper crimp tool for them if you want to pop down and pick it up...

    I think B&Q and the like sell dies that you can use with a vice or mole grips, but if he's coming back anyway then make him work for the callout fee you're paying.

    Decided against getting up at 6am to go into town given that junior needed picking up from the station at midnight last night and almost nobody will be in the office om account of the train strike. So had a lie in and now doing Teams calls from the cave.

    Think I'll head to the garden centre for lunch...

    Someone, probably living further west, has sent in the weather fairy, grey mizzling and blowey. Not much will get done outside today looks like. Though yesterday I found the soil under the removed turf or more like removed thatch for the new veggie patch was brick hard. Next door farmer bloke, who should know such things, says soil round these parts has a high clay content, sure feels that way. Softening water please, pref overnight.

    First gym sesh in 3+ weeks, now hurting.

    Excellent stuff. I like the cut of your jib.

    I'll be visiting galleries, churches and other assorted sights in and around Malaga shortly. From a week tomorrow in fact. Probably alone - the rest of them are all too savvy now. Maybe my mother will accompany me.

    I like the lady with the strategically placed furry m u f f, and the angsty fella with the fancy sleeves and a case of butterflies. I want to know what he's so worked up about though. Maybe he's nicked them. Maybe he's a lepidopterist who is aghast at the misclassification of the butterflies. Maybe the artist is suggesting we, the viewer, are all naught but butterflies, and that's why the chap is regarding us so closely.

    Fancy not being able to say m u f f without being censored!

    She clearly has her hands in a furry m u f f.

    Nope, all paid for by EE.

    The angsty fella is Jacek Malczewski, one of Polandโ€™s most famous artists, self portrait. Iโ€™ve been told by more than one Polish person that thereโ€™s a resemblance but canโ€™t for the life of me think why.

    There were rooms of serious looking portraits of 17 & 18th century socialites but not really my cup of tea.

    Probably the cypress hedge drive/road or the tall trees in sunset but I know what you mean, just the right amount of pertness ๐Ÿ‘

    What's Little Red Riding Hood doing in the first painting? Surely she should be in, or near, a forest.
