Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Have almost finished work for the year, but at least the last hour or so will be at home, having been kicked out of the office by the ever patient cleaners .... Cheery because I've just bought myself a ticket for Drumsheds in London for Easter Saturday... a little techno indulgence all for myself, j...

Re: Wildlife
Mrs PB and I decided to have a Christmas Day walk up a local mountain, the 750m peak of Cabrafeixet. Just as we reached the top a pair of golden eagles took flight from a few metres away. I managed to get this shot of one of them before they got too far away. https://i.imgur.com/KYYMPlS.jpeg Beauti...

May take the canoe o...

Re: Todays ride
Just to reassure everyone that I haven't gone completely over to the dark side.... This was last weekend, a very pleasant bimble around the track on the top right hand side above Talybont reservoir, just felt great to be getting out there again after what was about three weeks on and off of having a...

Re: Audax Tips?
Maybe an odd time to be posting this (aren't we all supposed to be waist deep in mince pies by now?) (I've just had one, with a cup of coffee and a tangerine to follow), but it's just a follow on from what I wrote above, and it feels like some sort of satisfying completion to me.... After November's...

Very good Reg ...
I was soooo wanting to take a photo, but thought that would be classed as unprofessional...same as taking up the kind offer of being "taken up the mountain"

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
It was actually Thursday, but never mind, close enough...

Checked with her about what sort of heating they ha...
