I can't imagine. 15 seconds riding over cobbles in Paradise Square puts my wrists at risk! Then you need a whole new reinforced trophy shelf for the winner's cobblestone. Truly an incredible race.

Fighting inflation.
Furry hot cross buns to the rescue.

Cycle to bellringing practice

Cycle to work by The River Don

Industrial City, c. 1945-8, painting by L.S. Lowry, 1887-1976 (British Council Collection).

Masterchef Professionals. 3 real decent blokes. Amazing series. Full of the best of attitudes.
Then comes the daily news and a torrent of nasty, self serving, war mongering, nation-shafting, corrupt, odious, smug, slimy slimeballs. Oh my word. Prayers for the world.

"The oil crisis is exactly what the net zero brigade wants"

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

Ultimately, Parisians decided that they like;
🌳 Trees
🚴‍♂️ Bikes
🚶‍♀️ Pedestrian areas
🕒 the 15-minute city
🏊‍♀️ Swimming in the Seine
and have elected the Anne Hidalgo continuity candidate who has pledged to keep/expand all these things

The newly elected Paris mayor cycling over to the Hôtel de Ville and giving an interview from a bicycle is 👌😊.

Cycle to bellringing practice night

Unexpected moments of joy.
When the annual Council Tax letter arrives and you confidently have 3 months where you can prove you exist due to this rare and valuable original document of ID.

You could play tig to warm up

Yes very nice. Thanks to the good folk setting them up. I saw them on my cycle to work last week. Excellent things.

Moments of joy - when you scrap the broken PIR sensor and find that the screws and washers will fit your bottle cage and panniers*
* Even though you already have enough to last the century

So I'm savouring my microwave lasagne and reading Cycle Magazine when, suddenly, I find I've written 4 notebook pages of an article that I may well submit for consideration. My first beer gone, I shall squeeze past my bike and laden panniers to find another in the garage.

Fascinating article on translation in The Author @societyofauthors.bsky.social. "The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short Term World" by Roman Krznaric. Translation by Shoukei Matsumoto, Japanese Buddhist Monk & empath, seeking to step into the shoes of others & see the world as they do.
