Did two in fairly short order. Enjoyed Slow Horses but got a bit bored when I started the third, I think Dead lion being a bit ridiculous plot wise may also have contributed.
Just finished Deep Deception, The Story of the Spycop Network, by the Women who Uncovered the Shocking Truth, probably a more accurate picture of sneaky beaky activity than Slow Horses et al.

Fortunately I moved work to Vauxhall so I just have general lunacy in the bike lanes at the one way system to contend with .

He was great in the very underrated Miami Blues

Same old, same old here. Overcast in Vauxhall.

CS7 was a nodderfest of rlj and madcap positioning this morning- summer has started!

No real surprise in the view of the EU to more sabre rattling from the tories and unionist intransigence

“The Taoiseach has said the European Union has shown great flexibility in relation to the Northern Ireland Protocol, but this "has not been reciprocated".

Micheál Martin said this has "made the EU more cautious" in relation to its negotiations with the British government.”

No just basic leathers, hopefully that’s just a worst case scenario and things will improve after initial trauma. Have to say I was a bit upset when I got the text from his mate.

Seems our lad may have broken his back, chance of not walking again.

Mrs and I were first on the scene of a kwaker 636 this afternoon. Failed to get round a bend and clipped near side verge and then a big off. I was in a hedge with him for what felt like half an hour. Eventually paramedics arrived and then coptered away, possibly life changing injuries.
His mate said it was the guys first ride this year :(
Bit down now tbh.

Sun’s out and a short day beckons, unfortunately an afternoon of MOT roulette with the car also beckons. Old favourite on today.

A method to help Ukrainian troops on the ground with vital medical kit

Glerups here, relatively hard wearing and comfortable

I looked at same thing a few years back , didn’t bother in the end for various reasons

If you can go 135 mm you could try a single speed Mtb hub and not use a lock ring / use an old cup and cone lock ring

First trip somewhere warm in years so JLC by the Med today

Mrs went out t5 a few weeks back , she said the whole process, checking in and security was utter carnage. She paid six quid or so for fast track security . Conversely we flew out of t2 on Maundy Thursday and it was one of the quickest runs through security I’ve ever had

My fiance has suggested that she might prefer a watch to an engagement ring - what are the common pitfalls to avoid

That having bought the watche she decides a ring would be nice after all!

Mrs Underuser is a JLC fan £10k would get a very nice one.

Our cat has, over the last couple of months, started urinating in the house. No crapping just wee and mainly in the kitchen and once or twice the hallway. . Vet says no medical issues so behavioural matter. Tried placing dry food down in regular locations with limited success. She doesn’t have a litter tray so will get one tonight.
Any other tips?

At the edge of Europe today

What’s the betting - all the way through? Going to leave it in til I can get it to my local bike place I think

Quite an interesting move from the US authorities, presumably having a friend in Biden has helped the Irish government . Few UK boxers are going to have to have a long think

I got my best bike all set up for Cobblemonster yesterday with a new chain and cassette so decided to commute on it today. It’s so nice riding something nice in to work. The temperature was up a bit from last week and was actually quite warm on the way home. Happy days.

Nice, it was a choice between the old TAG or the Magrette I keep at work for me today

Going out drinking later so not wearing anything good Friday.

Tea house ok but poncy, doesn’t serve coffee if you’re that way inclined. Always been ok food though.

Kennington Cafe on the one way system- proper greasy spoon always full of builders and sneaky beaky 5-0. For a fry up it’s actually very good.
Madeira on main drag, not that good - cheap breakfast ingredients and it shows.
Cafe bistro a the end of Vauxhall walk - busy but not been blown away by it.
Suffice to say if I go out for breakfast in Vauxhall it’s Kennington cafe as first choice.

Alsal on The Strand have been good with stuff I’ve had repaired and serviced (a Rolex, a breitling and a magrette)
