Parkrun in the rain was not part of the plan.

But I think there’s a waterproof in the boot.

Well, at least I hope so.

The last being this year.

D37 eyeing up my latest purchase, quizzically.

Where do you actually buy CDs these days?

To St Edmundsbury Cathedral for a concert by the choir of St Martin in the Fields. With Zeb Soanes.
Visibility good.
Sea state slight.

I should start planning for the Wicker Man event at The Queen’s Head, Hawkedon.

Sundown. Midsummer’s day.

No fireworks.

See you there.

Putting up curtains must have been quite a challenge.

I am quite taken by this particular porker.

Oh no that is tragic.

Ours reopened. The new landlord has a dead-ringer for our dear-departed Molly Collie.
And called Molly too.
An omen.

An autumnal skircle.
One fall. No submissions.

(I have wrestling in my genes. Mrs F may have mentioned this once or twice - a week.)

Went to see The Boss, with the boss, who, if shut eyes are any indication, was not fully immersed in the film.

Out and about on the Kawasaki W800. All leathered up against the cold.

Coffee stop at Krazy Horse.

Contemplating a bacon sandwich.

KH Cinema night tomorrow. What a good idea. Biker films!

I have certainly said this before, but I do love this Kawasaki W800.

Good-looking.
Reliable.
Comfortable.
Enough power.
Great sound.

Another keeper.

Public duty: lock the church

After private pleasure: a nippy ride out on the W800.

Low sun too.

Banana-fuelled return to Mildenhall Parkrun.

Bright and breezy. Me too.

Always a great start to the weekend.

A walk in the woods - but with a difference.

French conversation session with a student I have only ever seen on-line.

Très bien!
