I was too busy riding. Did an 80 mile jaunt on the GSX this morning. Nice to see the Sun but, in several places, caused a strobe-like effect as it shone through hedgerows. Roads were mostly dry with the occasional damp section - not much traffic (9am)


Oh, and belated Merry Christmas to all.

I'm still standin', better than I ever did

Too wet for a ride here but just back from a 4-mile walk, which was very pleasant.

Well if I have roughly got your location right the terrain around you is well suited for a good walk Craig. I found cycling very doable when walking was uncomfortable but over the years done a fair bit of both. At the moment though I am still full of cold, had it a week now and still had to get out of bed due to coughing in the middle of the night. Its a good one or should I say bad one

Made it from my bed to the sofa and briefly to the dining table. I might have had a couple of bottles of wine yesterday. Almost human now.

Stuffed myself yesterday. Fasting today. I feel like I've put on 3 stone.

Quiet day on Christmas day. Went for a walk with Mabel in the morning, and then did some baking in the afternoon/evening. I had been intending to change the tyres on the bike but never did as it was just so wet.
Both the girls were here yesterday, so we all set to and cooked dinner between us. Aside from that it was a generally lazy day.
Taking Eleri back to Shrewsbury and Sioned back to Birmingham today, so a day spent mostly behind the wheel of my car.
