    Ended up bailing from the ride and dozing for a couple more hours until I felt well enough to drive home.

    My first DNF on a big ride
    Well done for trying and better a DNF than you collapsing due to the heat.

    Sat/Sun on the bike followed by lying on the sofa eating all the cake.

    Currently working, since 5:30 this morning until about 15:00
    Quick visit to see a lot of Heckflosse in the town center (they all arrived yesterday):



    Then the Scottish Festival in town where whisky might be taken...
    A quiet relaxing Sunday in the sun will follow

    Just stop off on the way home, and see what you can rustle up from that.

    Thank you for asking.

    Tonight - hit the beach.
    Tomorrow - some ridiculous end of school year party that was meant to be a few drinks but is now turning into a 'secular coming of age ceremony' for kids who didn't do first communion this year - what is the point of bring irreligious and going to a secular school if someone is going to pull a stunt like this? But too late to pull out now; so a lot of drinks.
    Sunday - take the family into Dublin to see some friends and go for pizza.

    With the temperatures rounding 40º C I think I'm going to put my nose outside only at night and enjoy very cold drinks.
