My wife's Agapanthus, (no that's not a euphemism)

Do you have a go on the slide and climbing frame to … just to break up the day a bit .

These buggers aren't easy to catch in flight but got one eventually Swift - Apus apus Swift by name, swift by nature

Stopped by the beach after communty service this moaning, apparently our beach tractor drivers are nascar drivers too, they only turn left.

Happy Sunday A ride somewhere dunno where yet, a bit of painting (hammerite on the outdoor cooking table) and then BBQ with everyone 🏍 Everyone wants Long Island Ice tea. I won't be partaking in those again for a minute or two Might post a pic of the juice squeezer though, it looks like a piece of machinery from pre industrial revolution, so heavy it needs sack trucks to move it and all for a tiny lime Was gonna post a gif of someone struggling to move something heavy but this gif came up and had to be posted, just how??!!!

Had a good ride around one of my usual routes Llandovery, Llyn Brianne, Strata Florida, Claerwen Reservoir, Rhayader and home but with a small difference instead of being wet and cold i was hot and wet. As your probably aware we are having a heat wave here in the UK but there was a cool breeze when i was moving so quite a pleasant day. Should have been perfect weather to ride Strata Florida as the water levels would be low on the river which it was except all the puddles were just as deep as any other time Similar photos to the last time i was up this way except the water level is low in Llyn Brianne You can see an old foot bridge here crossing the river used before the valley was flooded in the late 60's its normally submerged One of the river crossings on strata Florida And the puddles were worse they were murky so i couldn't see the hidden rocks in them @XTreme i think i found an endless supply of milky tea for you do you want me to bottle it and ship it over LOL Managed to get a video of myself playing in one of the puddles After Strata Florida was Claerwen res never get bored of the views along here Had a run down to Llangammarch Wells from Rhayader cracking road and remembered there was a river crossing there i normally avoid because the water levels are always too high. When i got there it looked good but when i gt past the middle it went deep felt like the bike was starting to float you can see the water line on the fork gators the wave got my thighs wet and my boots filled up with water Stopped here to empty my boots out and wring my socks not a bad place to take 5 and it was home from here

This is you deciding on which kind of bike you really want

Well done Fred. I've only ever done that crossing once, it always looks deep to me.

I'm going to a triumph owners rally next weekend in Baskerville Hall just outside Hay on wye but you probably got a better chance of getting a ride report from Hugh Hefner than me on that one LOL

So, is Pete getting a new bike? My groundhog died what day is it.

Not very high Pete, they're too small otherwise, that's the trouble they're damned fast and hard to pan with when close enough to get a decent shot, at a guess maybe 40-50ft

Lido is open! I inflated it with the vac.

Rode around town last night checking the Slyme Tavern type parking lots for a certain grey Pissan pickup. .

Got myself a couple of 5 meter led tape lights. Thought I'd test them before fitting and a good job I did. One set leaves the blue lights on low when in the off position and the others worked perfectly, till I turned them off and now won't turn on again. Prob take most of the day to get them back in the boxes. Mandis back but says she'll be spending most of the day catching up on work.

I am having my tea sat on the garden swing, where I may spend most of the morning till the swing ends up in the sun around midday. More of the same laziness this afternoon.

The Moon

Exactly, it's called a desert for a reason

looked at it when i went in garage to get something ...... which is more than you did

I suppose this is the result of living in a one Donkey village in Dago land. You probably could have had a choice of twenty bikes by now were you still living here

@Sir Fallsalot has saved us from humiliation!

you not got one ?

I rode into the sunset last night

10-4 You missed a trick there Tym

Well I've decided not to go ahead with buying this bike from the north of Spain. It's a logistical nightmare, €200+ plus for delivery, and I'm unlikely to see it till the end of the month. Knowing my luck a better alternative would then go and turn up here this week! So the ongoing Mystery Bike search continues!

Na, I just climb in the trees at he bottom of our garden.

I'm thinking of braving the heat and heading out on the dog, got to 32°c yesterday not the temperature i like riding in. I don't think I've been out on it since welding up the subframe

You're a man of action Clive

One from the garden this afternoon Red Kite - Milvus milvus

Can you believe that all this was within walking distance of where Pete used to live, a short walk from Mumbles to Caswell Bay.... Seals, Cormorants, Common Linnets, Rare Choughs, Goldfinch, Rock Pipits, Stunning scenery, Guillemots, Song Thrush, Stonechats, Buzzard, Scarlet Tiger Moth And he buggered off to a very brown Spain

Near the Lower Lliw reservoir

Yes all except where Pete lives

I just love that!

That's all you ever do with it......besides loading it in the van obviously. And then you just look at it in the van!

You go to the manufacturers' sites and they're promoting all these models as normal......no mention whatsoever of zero stock!

Here's something to make you realise how the years have passed! If Dio was still with us he'd have been 80 today!

You cant get a new CRF here either and second hand ones are rare as well

Found it

That's always been the case......but it's much worse now cos so few new bikes are available, and second hand prices have gone through the roof! If I could get a new CRF I'd put the money down tomorrow!

I've only done it once before when out with a group it didn't have the deep bit this side then i got a video somewhere

good evening

Maybe because the Triumph owners club run it

Great stuff Fred......that's the sort of riding I'd like to do. Well except the water bits obviously.

Your Van Action left a lot to be desired!

The first bloke I sat next to at my current job in 1986,he was later our chief exec, wrote a song called ACAB. Not my cup of tea, but I would never tell him that, he's still a big fucker.

You racist twat............
