Also forgot about yesterday's oddness on the way to drop my son off at nursery (not a euph): Cycling through a residential area, quiet roads, not going fast, son on back, 2.1" knobbly tyres - you get the idea. I was drafted by a chap on a road bike. I don't think I was even going fast enough to be drafted but I'll take the compliment.
Today though, a real treat. I had to leave my normal rural commute route a little earlier than normal to run an errand on the way in and just as I was leaving my normal route I saw what I thought was a turtle dove fly off and perch in a tree. Obviously I had to follow to get a better look, ended up dumping the bike in the middle of a field and sneaking a bit closer. Probably got (more) goose poo on the bike but confirmed no less than three turtle doves. I know it's a bit sad but I've never seen one before and they're in decline so it made my morning.
10/10 Would twitch again.
