Some sun, no rain and little wind on a day I was planning to have a rest. Typical.
Maybe I should not bother resting.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Beavering away in the cave while it drizzles gently outside in a very non-August way. Watched Fast & Furious 7 last night for a spot of light relief and disengaging the brain from work. May go for a pedal after work if its dry, fingers crossed."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Afternoon folks,
Another busy day in the orifice, managed to wobble in at least. Forecast suggested it would be dry until lunchtime, forecast lies like a flatfish. Only drizzle, but not dry.
Not much else to report, usual levels of stupidity.0 -

Cracker of a day. Took advantage to sit about in the sunshine with coffee and enjoy the serenity for a change.
Then ruined the rest of the day with a trip to town to see the Chiro.

think i prefer it a bit windier, only blowing about 20k, did the 84k again, about a minute faster than sunday, perhaps aided by the sugar rush from the excellent donut at the bakery in la santa, fine mirages on the way back, scorchio
followed by a long bask by the pool, where the light wings of zephyr, oppress'd with perfume, wax faint o'er the gardens etc.
my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Did Byron pedal up Timanfaya SG?

Gloomy grey day. At work, looking out of the big windows at gloomy grey weather and damp tourists. Had a cracking sandwich at lunchtime. Otherwise did work stuff.0

That's me kitted out in UCI blue, rain jacket, 2 x shirts, cap, useful sized back pack. And The Card. Like wot gets one free coffee, lunch etc. Hardly an intensive training day, more sitting about chatting with others than 'learning'. And 4 of us went for a beer afterwards.
Volunteers are the ones in the turquoise blue, not the security / marshals in the orange or yellow. Met some of those guys as well, well 'ard innit.
People from all over the country in for the para TT and roads in Dumfries, and individuals from Morocco, Iran, Mexico, Brazil!
The Crichton is such a beautiful, publicly owned massive estate, expect lots of aerial views Fri and Sat.2 -
No tourists in drizzly Hanworth, apart from any en route to Heathrow that is. But also had a cracking sandwich. Goats cheese, rocket, tomato and onion chutney on crusty sourdough. Made for me by the lad before he left to do some gardening work this morning. That last bit raised a very good sandwich into one that can't be beaten. Made my day.beansnikpoh said:Gloomy grey day.

Mine was not made by the lad. I had to pay for mine, which obviously makes it worse. It was lots of medium rare steak, béarnaise sauce, caramelised onions, rocket, on ciabatta. It was a little more than a shytey pret baguette, but a real treat. They have a good range, which I'll be investigating thoroughly.veronese68 said:
