A huge undercover fast food and speciality produce market under a vast arched roof decorated with all sorts of fruit and flowers. There are some windows looking in from apartments forming the walls.

A small boy dangles a pickled herring above his open mouth advertising that apparently, herring is delicious.

And back in wonderful Rotterdam for an early lunch at the Markthall.

Kibbling as has become our last day tradition.

And a photo of a Herring Boy to troll #TheDoodle. She's not a fan.

Realised it was another off-shoot but wondered if #theDoodle out of sight. #BuonViaggio

Fab pic! Thanks posting. Hi to #theDoodle 🌞

Look at the size of that! (The path, not #TheDoodle). Very impressive.

Nine people injured with two taken to hospital after bus crash in Croydon Nine people have been left injured with two of them taken to hospital after a bus crash in Croydon.

Another bus crash. Me and #TheDoodle saw the emergency response from afar. I hope everyone is OK.

Anyway. Currently on a train with #TheDoodle. Expect transport shenanigans.

🖐🏼 to #TheDoodle

#TheDoodle is currently poring over a small Tube map circling all of the "ham" places because she finds it funny, but is also chuckling at Turkey Street and Elmer's End. The latter being in Becken*ham*.

“Whether it’s caring for children or doing household chores, these are things that need to get done,” said Chatterji."

That's as far as he is probed in the piece.

I can't see AI sorting out #TheDoodle 's dinner, taking the bins out or hanging the washing out.

Well #TheDoodle has been I'll with the flu (or whatever it is) this week, but hearing her disagreeing with Mrs RH on the answers to her maths homework shows she's in the mend.

Some good local news of a long-awaiting widening of a greenway path. One of my regular routes with #TheDoodle on #MPoulet it can't come soon enough as the existing path is very narrow and falling to pieces.

And here it is in 2023 as I rode along with #TheDoodle on a tandem with @bicycledutch.bsky.social telling us what was happening.

Well #TheDoodle and I managed 11 miles on #MPoulet which is the longest post whatever bug I had ride for ages.

We can also recommend the Korean corn dog and Himalayan dumpling stalls by the Cutty Sark.

A couple of years back, #TheDoodle and I did the Ride London Freecycle circuit on it. We got there quite early so it wasn't crowded and showed how the thing can shift with both pedalling downhill in 7th.

Definitely cackling from the back.

Out for a spin to the shops with #TheDoodle to try out the new saddles on #MPoulet.

Anyway. #TheDoodle is back at scouts and of course that meant taking our tandem, #MPoulet, out for a spin.

It was practical. We got around, and with some major roadworks in the area, we didn't add to the congestion and poor air quality.
