Return of the linguist Affable biker - W800, CB750, CBR1000RR RPM static cyclist Lamentably slow 5K Parkrunner Serial punner Supporter of good causes Resisting retirement

I am reminded how much I hate the M25/Dartford Crossing route. And then paying extra for it just adds insult to injury.

I have succumbed to the charms of a Krazy Horse bacon sarnie after ParkRun. The CB750 feels at home here.
There was a military wives choir at Rougham Tower this afternoon. Always poignant.
Sunday ride out to a car show, for a change. Some lovely machines. The sort I lusted over in my youth.
Saturday routine: Black coffee and a banana CB750 blast to Nowton Parkrun Sweat a bit Home to the crosswords
To St John’s College, Cambridge for Much Ado About Nothing, al fresco, with picnic. High culture and haute cuisine.
Special offer at the surgery today. 2 nurses inspected my sore shin. “Do you moisturise your legs?” “Eh? Is that a thing?” Apparently so.
Early morning coffee in the Methodist Church, Pump Lane. A far cry from Crazy Horse. But welcoming.
I’ve been neglecting the wonderful CBR1000RR Fireblade. Spotted cobwebs on it today. A Shocking indictment. Soon blew them away! Another keeper. But aren’t they all?
70 minutes ago I phoned BT about a dangling phone cable. The engineer is here already. Credit where it’s due. Bravo!
We have become a grandfather, again, (to paraphrase Mrs T). Enough for an ice hockey team now.
I could certainly live with the 5 litre V8, but perhaps not the colour.
Sunday observance is in full swing. CB750F started first touch of the button. A spirited, breezy run along the A14. Coffee (£!1) and a good read in the hut. Might have to add “Fighters” to the expanding aviation library. Frank is chilled.
To Nowton ParkRun on the CB750F. Do you ever get that feeling, “Can’t ever sell this bike”? Seems to be happening more frequently these days.
In a sweaty labour of love, I have cleaned the grannymobile, a seven-seater behemoth, without water - given the hosepipe ban. Such is my dislike of dirty cars.
Spotted this Carmen Ghia in Moulton. “Enjoy me” condition. Nice!

Homeward bound.🎶 250 miles in a day. Heroic or foolhardy? Depends which part of my anatomy you ask.
Morning coffee at Clacket Lane. 100 miles in. Longest run for a while. Certainly clears the head. Just thinking road.
