Thinks: Avoid hotel tea cups.

Off to the forest for walkies. Biking weather at last.

The vicar’s pillion ride on the back of my Kawasaki is morphing into a bit of an event. A tour of eleven churches and a cathedral. We now have an official photographer. There is even talk of a calendar.

The only thing remotely of interest on the lunch menu was pea salad. Afterwards, I felt peckish and more than a little ripped off at £13.

So much old stuff in England. St Andrews Church, Norton.

Can’t say I’m tempted to return. Been there. Done that.

Time for that bimble. A deserted market town.

Parkrun #251 for me, and the green shirt gets its first airing in the forest, at Brandon Country Park. Another of my happy places.

Library Quiz survivor.

Post Pump pause. Today’s ‘Merican Muscle from the Krazy Horse.

BodyPump at 9.30. Getting back into this exercise lark. Swapping the coffee shop for exercise classes. Double whammy!

A curiously entertaining little book. Inside the minds of Scott’s intrepid Antarctic explorers.

Now in full slump mode. Tasks completed Tea TV

Plans for the late afternoon/ early evening: Cup of tea Teach French lesson Off on the bike to BodyPump Poached salmon Slump in armchair

Popped in for a pampering pedicure. I mean, a chap deserves a treat from time to time.

Should keep the vicar on the back of the bike. (It’s another long story.)

Off to my Wednesday coffee stop. But stopped in my tracks to ogle this absolute mouth-watering beauty.

I always appreciate a real railway sleeper in a car park. So many impostors about these days.

Scrap boat picked up in Newmarket.

Another project. “Bumpy” at Felixstowe Ferry, after a river cruise with The Boy.

I had to remove these from the “new” jacket before feeding the leather. It had quite an appetite.

Will you PLEASE stop raining. There are bikes to ride. New jackets to wear. Probably other stuff to do too.

Refurbed a stool for D35 who is a keen photographer. £4 from the dump. Corky keeps guard.

Decaf Americano with oatmilk. O brave new world!

Only one lesson booked today. And that’s a freebie, helping to train new volunteer speakers.

Morning trip out. Too wet for motorcycling. Recycling is a poor substitute.

Today’s rather pleasant duty 💕

Rougham Tower today. Plenty of decent exhibits, despite the rain. Stiff upper lip!

Waking the Fireblade from its shed slumber. 178BHP / 200kg. One of my happy places.

Today’s entertainment. Hoping the BBMF fly-past happens. Blue skies on order.
