Getting the balance right

Saturday Walk (and pub)

A tractor for Les

Saturday afternoon and a lovely pub and walk with the lovely H & D. And Fay found L a tractor. Result.

Saturday Ride

Fairmile

Saturday morning, up onto Langdon Hill and Cholsey Downs.

I learnt that 'byways' aren't great for gravel riding, because heavy vehicles create deep ruts, which mean peddle strikes.

Oh, and some of the ruts are deep.

And full of water.

Muddy water.

Fun ride 🤩

Fika

Fika

New packaging from Horsebox Coffee. Three years and counting. And still an excellent choice for fika.

Ewok, for ever

Ewok, forever

Wikipedia defines as follows: "The Ewoks are a fictional species of small, furry, mammaloid, bipeds in the Star Wars universe. They inhabit the forest moon of Endor and live in arboreal huts and other simple dwellings, being seen as primitive in comparison with other sentient species."

But we know that Ewok is far from fictional 🤩

An election is coming

Ewok and Yogi

You heard it here first. Election before the end of the year.

NHS waiting times since 1990 showing increases under conservative administrations and decreases under labour

Collective noun for a group of cabs

A shady spot for the Internet hardware

Network cabinets proliferating under the shade of the traffic junction. I'm wondering what the collective noun of these boxes might be?

Spot the difference
