    Morning
    Today will be a trip down to daughter dearests in Wiltshire, hoping to get a ride in before we set off. Might be sweaty as it seems to be unseasonably warm round here.

    Day off today, so good lie in had and now watching England v Denmark in the footy with Mrs. 666. Quick appointment at the docs at lunchtime to get the results of my last PSA test then out for a hilly bike ride with a mate.

    Afternoon folks,
    Friday but in the orifice unfortunately, silly questions aplenty. Pleasant enough wobble in at least as I replaced the front gear cable last night. Stupid design that's already worn the cable guide in the shifter, ordered some new ones from SJS. Been told I have to go to the pub tonight as the EPO is having her 'book' club round.
    Enjoy the holiday TLW, I'm sure more booze will cure your bellyache. Good luck with moving the lad Oxo. Exciting times. What's unseasonably warm up there Webboo? I have a customer in Adelaide that complains it's too cold if it drops below 20 in winter.

    PSA test came back normal so sadly for you lot I'll live to fight another day. Off out on the bike shortly.

    ~1000 miles completed, now sat on the terrace with a cold Moretti.

    Bostin view you have there HD. Which of those Italian lakes is that? Are you there for all of August?

    Como, our house is in a village called Loveno just in the hills above Menaggio.
    I doubt we’ll ride tomorrow but may do a decent stint on Sunday. Parents are still here so spend a few days with them as they leave on Monday.

    Oh, and just over two weeks.
    I can only dream of a month but the internet here is terrible and on my list of things to fix

    Pool, beautiful lake views, hills that look like mountains. Winning at life HD. Very jealous.
