Earlier today I assisted with the "Escape from Alscatraz the Freezer" of a fruit cake which will be ready for a greedygit me us to scoff this evening

[Marj]

There is enough cake for
14th August
Mildenhall
 

I have been placed on cake rations to ensure it is so

4 cakes made

3 in the freezer
1 for the weekend

I will try and make something else for Mildenhall

I love you!  Will you marry me? 

Ohh you smoothie, you're only after my cake

[Cudzoziemiec]

We "swapped" half a plum cake and some chat for a few glasses of German bishops' wine, a lunch and a new-secondhand bike for our son, which I have just spent part of the evening fettling into readiness. He's very excited but I need to pop into town tomorrow morning to get a tube and some rim tape to stop the spoke heads poking holes in the tube again.

Good news 1:  After I posted my first rant on Bikeradar (about a London Dynamo rider), I got a response from a member.  This morning, we met on the road, and we had a good chat as we rode from Stockwell up to the Elephant.  Nice understated grey Tifosi.

Good news 2:  A couple of nights ago, I dreamed that I was out for a ride, and a particular yacfer was carried past on a stretcher.  The rest of the dream was my trying, in the face of various bizarre difficulties, to get back and retrieve his bike for him.

The good news is that he seems to be well and posting

[Greenbank]

First bike ride for over a month (a combination of laziness, work, daughter and post 400km Audax can't-be-arsed-ness).

Time to get back into it properly in order to get in shape for PBP.
