« On m’a répondu que j’étais trop vieux »
Jusqu’à quel âge peut-on adopter un animal dans un refuge animalier ?
Un lecteur à la retraite souhaitait « rompre la solitude » en recueillant un chat hébergé dans un refuge animalier, mais l’adoption lui a été refusée en raison de son âge. Quels sont, au juste, les critères pour adopter un animal ? Varient-ils selon les régions ou d’un refuge à l’autre ?

Ian's always a good read. Hoping there's another rare home win for him to bunny about come Sunday morning! 😆
Off to Sutton United tomorrow, lads, for their National League match against Gateshead. A preview featuring my frankly nonsensical thoughts on what a "proper" non-league football club is right here:

Words & Pictures to Follow: Sutton United vs Gateshead - Off For a Gander
It's time to get back to London this weekend, friends, for a trip to see a relegation six-pointer in the National League between two teams who may have an eye each on next weekend's FA Cup matches.

I don't think it would be too much to tempt the UCI to implement the track regulations on the road.
What if the solution may be sitting right under our noses, and yet stubbornly remains out of sight, and so out of mind?

Where's your attention? How long do you think you're looking at your bike computer for?
The clip is 2 seconds, where I'm looking down at the computer, but it feels like 10.
That's too long when hurtling along in a peloton of 150 riders.
