    Morning All except Mr P, although I may forgive him for calling us names if he clears my bar tab. Good luck Mr T, luckily I'm only doing a quick 5k parkrun. Hopefully big black cloud in the middle of blue sky's will do one as I don't fancy getting soaked, muddy I'm expecting but please no rain 🙏. Have a nice day all, even Pinno 🙂

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    James were amazing last night as always.

    COOP live, despite the poor opening is a great venue.

    My singing voice is rubbish.

    May ride today, family event later.

    Morning

    Damp again here in Kendal. I think the plan is to catch the bus to Windermere then later is Peat and Diesel at the Brewery Arts Center.

    Well, your tab would be cheaper than TLW's whereas his would require a debt finance plan.

    Windermere will be heaving. It was heaving in February when we went.

    It always is, bloody tourists.

    Ambleside etc further north are much nicer.

    Weather here is grimmer than Scotlands match last at night, so have popped into town for supplies & petrol and now waiting for a break in the weather so we can head out with the hounds in tow.

    At least the garden doesn't need watering.

    Damp 'n' drizzling, again, in The Valley. Off to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets this evening, which promises to make it a far less disappointing, predictions come true evening compared to Friday.

    The rain coming down in like stair rods seem to keep it reasonably quite. Anyhow a trip on the lake was had with lunch in the hotel at Lakeside. Catching the bus and avoiding finding and paying for bike was a winner. Regular service and £2 a journey makes it a winner however being a boomer it was free for me.

    Thanks all re race - was a training run so I did enjoy the pub last night…….. but managed 9th overall and first fat knacker - so won some goodies including what my wife has called a salad bowl 🤷‍♂️

    Evening folks,

    Sunny spells in between torrential rain and the odd bit of thunder, bloody awful weather. Been to Brighton to collect female child and a car full of tat. Had a wander round the lanes with her and a bit of lunch whilst I was there. Thankfully whilst windy and not exactly warm it didn't actually rain on us.

    Obviously no running because I'm not that daft 😁

    Bloody weather was too on and off to head out with the hounds in the end, so did loads of jobs instead, including a bit of work on the car interior, afyer I remembered that the stealer supplied a little interior valeting kit when I bought the car that I haven't used before. Will try to ride romorrow but watching footy with a spot of grog for now.
