Had a grand bimble out to Rainham on the bike today.
Was at Mass first thing. Today is the second anniversary of my mum's death. Fuck Alzheimer's and dementia. Wretched bloody illnesses. Wouldn't wish them on anyone.

The last World Cup Scotland played in was France 98. We played Brazil in the opening match. I remember us having tellies and radios on in the office. I was working my first job out of uni. Halcyon days....

Hello friends. I have previously brought you the joy of roadrunners. Now please meet the tawny frogmouth. A feathery little dinosaur from Australia. Chris' posts have bee bringing me great joy recently. So I share it with you.
Weirdly, it’s never occurred to me to put up a video of the tawnies here.😄 Yesterday, one youngster was making its little sleeping noise - a quieter version of its night time feeding squawk. Dad is on the right. Mikey Magpie with the bung wing can be heard in the background, along with noisy miners.

Hurrah! The sun is out at a weekend, so I went out for a bimble to Rainham to test out my "new" bike and position. It was fab. I haven't done a longer weekend ride since London to Brighton what with one thing and another....

Thank you to Kate @bikefit.bsky.social for my bike fit. Should have done that years ago for all I "just" commute and bimble about to eat cake at weekends.
Thank you also to the gents at London Bike Studio for setting up my new handlebars. What with that and the bike fit it's almost New Bike Day!

I spent pretty much all day at work peopling. I do not love peopling. I like it in short bursts with quietude in between. I was exhausted by lunchtime and then had to spent the best part of 3 hours in meetings.
I am completely wiped out. I need about 3 days off.

Busy bike and car lanes out there today. Bit drizzly and still surprisingly mild. No point in #ShortsWatxh yet. Not frosty enough (though lots have gone for the longer kit already)

I saw another plain clothed police car today.
I also had part of a bike fit. My bike is getting a couple of upgrades too! I should have done this years ago.

Slightly soggy evening commute home. And on further reflection, I like the expression "plain clothed police car" so I'll be using it more.
Anyhoo. Busy cycle lanes out there this evening. Counts at about 635 before the rain started. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social
