There's an Amici at the railway station. Not much else open Saturday morning.  Huntingdon isn't on my usual café stop list.
For anyone who may be in Downham Market early enough, Knicat Bakery is next to the station and does good traditional cakes, biscuits and filled rolls for a bargain price. Slightly off the route and open until 3pm on Saturday.

I know that Hybrid Slinkys have been around forever (probably in a couple or three gauges). It was my string of choice in the days when I thought I could play guitar.

Sunak.

With all of the problems facing the country and the conservative party he declares war on "sick note culture"...

I was similarly outraged when I heard this on the radio this morning. The only positive is that he's probably alienating a large number of potential tory voters with this crap. But then I guess he knows he's on his way out so doesn't care any more.

Sunak.

With all of the problems facing the country and the conservative party he declares war on "sick note culture" and declared living on benefits as a lifestyle choice.  I don't give a shit about tories gaslighting about "benefit lifestyle" because it's just more of their insidious divide and rule behaviour, but, I do care when he declares that some unidentified experts will be appointed if the tories win the next election to decide if you deserve a sick note or not.

Hmmm, this stinks of Crapita and disability benefits assessments ...

There used to be a lot more low level activity than there is now. I don't think they have enough planes.

This is somewhat useful...

RAF Airbus 400M just flew down the loch at only 175ft altitude.

Erm, that's lower than many of the surrounding hills.

Took off from Elgin, been flying close to ground through Skye, through the loch valleys of Harris and Lewis ('through' not over). Then Buzzed stornoway airport.

Now doing a pass over the middle of Lewis, still sticking to no more than 150ft off the deck.

Low level flight training?

I think it used to be the case that bikes weren't allowed on the cable car at weekends as it was too busy.

But it appears that now their current practice on the cable car is not to put strangers in the same cabin anyway, so bikes are allowed at weekends but there will be a long queue. Unfortunately new tall buildings have gone up to the west of the crossing and the views of London are not as good as they were.

Probably the foot tunnel is still best at weekends.

...be careful if you do head towards York though, the road past the railway station is closed for the full weekend (this weekend and next!) for the preparation work for the demolition of Queen Street bridge. The city centre will be absolutely manic - more so than usual!
(That's absolutely closed closed, not even pedestrians can get through!)

Doylys is a good call, though.
