Reply to: Did you have a nice weekend?

[threaded]

I was in a road bicycle race, up against professional riders. I did rather much better than I expected.

Which is nice.

Lost two tench in the lillies and failed to entice two 20lb plus carp to dinner but a lovely evening on the river otherwise. King fisher perched within 10', barn owl did his usual circuit and dozens of bats.

I'm not an angler, but that sounds idyllic.

Drove 280 miles North, had to deal with an anguished ex wife (don't ask) who called at 3:30 am and I wound up leaving her place at 6:30 when she'd calmed down, achieved bugger all, did the ironing Sunday then drove 280 miles South.
In short nope it was a bit pants.

Everyone knows that going North to South is downhill, it's going South to North that is hard work

I thought you were only going up when heading to LOndon?

According to my granny, she went up to London while we went down to it. I never quite worked that one out as a nipper.

Pure snobbishness of course.

U2 concert - Fantastic

Even managed to miss out on the preaching bit by going to the bar!

What did I do...I can't remember...Oh yes. Cleaned the outside of my conservatory. Cleaned out the gutters and then did some minor repair work on my 1972 Morris 1800. Watched a bit of Bore F1 and cheered on the boys in the final overs of the Ashes!

And you should cycle from East to West so the sun's gravity helps pull you along.

Exactly!

Hot work, not for the faint-hearted, but satisfying
