Friday is full of funerals and fear
Then off to the lakes for an ultra and as usual I’m winding myself up something rotten.

Moaning,
Back at home, gloomy grey and cooler
Drove through quite a few flooded areas last night on the way home, so I guess the sogginess here is not as bad as it could be. Still as SG points out it IS May, bring on summer!
Camping in the Lakes next week

Better nights sleep thanks to an drowsy antihistamine tablet.
In the gym at 7 one the effects had worn off, couldn't even manage a leg raise without any weights on the machine.
Maybe a bit of pottering about the garden this afternoon and a chilled evening.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Morning folks,
Happy damned Friday, it is for me as I have the day off, so having a slower start than usual. Out on bikes with friends later, plans may have to change due to train strikes, but obviously not a problem as we have bikes.0 -
Winding up in what way? Is there a significant amount of fear going leading up to an ultra?tlw1 said:Walk hounds, half day, then nip to a friends mums funeral (good life, etc, so not too sad).

Caught up in a bit of sleep this morning after 2 early starts. Caving for the day and keeping an eye on the weekend weather to see when's good to go out on the bike."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I'm suspicious about that second pic - it's supposedly in Western Scotland, but the sky is completely blue.pinno said:... and the weather is good too. This is the view from one of my kitchen windows:

Very pretty. Reminiscent of a Scottish country garden, with mini orchard, bordering a farmers field.seanoconn said:
'Reminiscent of...' ?
It is in the country and it does border on to a farmers field and the smaller trees are dwarf varieties of Apple.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
...and it is in Scotland.
Funny dat.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Evening
A fairly uneventful day trudging round what is apparently Europes largest antique centre. Lots of things were seen but nothing was purchased other than lunch and some wire wool.0 -

Had a good day, although there was lots of pedalling slowly into a headwind.0
