Another new toy. I knew these things were boutique, but that's quite a serial number.

Wife has been home for ~36 hours and not said anything about this yet. Can't tell if she's got an unusual degree of chill after two weeks off, or simply that unobservant. Probably the latter.

Thoroughly enjoying all the bad takes about Neil Young on here. If you think this is shit, last night's headline set is still on iPlayer.

Raye easily the act of #glastonbury so far. Not seen anyone come on and smash it from the first moment like that.

I was going to write something all witty and scathing about The 1975, but iplayer seems to have done me a solid. Thank fuck for technical glitches. #glastonbury #couldbeworsecouldbecoldplayagain

I wasn't intending to use my entire bike ramp as an oil pan, but it turns out not to be a good idea to use the centrestand while doing an oil change on an S1000XR, and hot 5W40 pisses out like water.
30 minutes to do the "service", 2 hours to clear up the mess. ffs.

Just accept it. You're going to Kingston. The only question is which way? #londonloop

The lovely thing about the #londonloop is it takes you through places you've never been before, and confirms why.
For those starting from section 1 at Erith, don't worry, it does get better.

I saw Brian Wilson in 2005. It was so disappointing. Just the Wondermints doing Beach Boys covers for an hour while he sat up front.
I found Pet Sounds in my parents' record collection when I was 6, and played it endlessly. Still have Sloop John B as a permanent earworm. But man, that show sucked.

Barely finished the introductory chapter of my holiday reading and I'm already fucking livid. Thanks @iandunt.bsky.social for ruining my chill.
Still kinda gutted Grayling stepped down before the last election, so I never got the satisfaction of personally voting the useless prick out.

Not sure that was worth the walk to be quite honest, but it gave me an excuse to go via two pubs, one of which doubles as a brewery.

Out for an amble to the original Epsom well, source of the famous salts. Quick pitstop three miles in, and what do I find? 😍🙌

Another day, another layout, this time valve-powered. Think the wife's heard me do Crimson and Clover enough already.

Rats! I thought I'd avoided ending up with any Manx monopoly money, but the fuckers got me with coins instead.

Another day on the #LondonLoop, dodging Giant Hogweed, porny seafood sellers, and whatever the hell was incubating on that bush. That's Essex officially done, and 7 sections to go...

Went for a walk around the sleepy seaside town we're staying in this weekend. Trams, oceans of wild garlic, Scottish mountains in the distance, and, well, the other thing.

Today's distraction from work, mocking up a pedalboard from an old cardboard box and spare velcro strips. And then making a racket with it while the wife is out. Sorry neighbours.

Epic stint on the #LondonLoop yesterday, 16 miles from Chigwell to Havering-atte-Bower to Harold Wood to Upminster Bridge. Almost out of bandit country.
Getting busier out there too, even bumped into the same bloke twice. Londoner in Talking to Strangers shocker!
