It was such a lovely afternoon/evening that i thought i'd do my best J. R. Hartley impression and had an hours fishing down on the canal.

Took a couple of small Pike, one around the 5lb mark, one of around 7lb. Not bad work for an hour.

Got the usual odd looks and questions from people - You're fly fishing? On a canal? I don't think there's any trout in there....etc.

Rounded it off by watching the sunset with a celebratory beer at a canalside pub, The Three Horseshoes at Winkwell:

So, what did you do with your hour?

Took the front wheel out of my 125.
The front brake was siezed on so it was fun! Oh drained the tank and free'd my once siezed clutch!

I've been running throughout the winter, 3 or 4 times a week from about 7.30pm onwards so it's been pitch black.

Tonight was the first night that I returned home knowing full well that I wouldn't have to check the sole of my trainers 'cos, due to the extra hour of daylight, I could see where I was putting my feet and consequently safe in the knowledge that I hadn't stepped in any dog turds.

Dog owners who don't pick up their hounds' shit should be made to fucking eat it.

Finished washing the car and managed to take photos before it got dark, whereas this time last week I wouldn't have been able to!

I like light evenings Smile.

I meandered home via Cuckmere Haven on the southcoast, after a night of good food, company and plenty of vino... Wasted

I went to a ukulele evening at the Three Horseshoes @ Winkwell, one evening not so long ago, if I recall correctly. Nice pub Thumbs Up

Think they hold it once a month. Was good fun Thumbs Up Can't make it these days due to unsociable hours.


I washed the car today, very badly with cold water, and couldn't find my chamois. Just been outside now and it looks just as bad really. Bit shinier in the moonlight though.

^^ This, times eleventy.

During my hour of fishing, I trod in one particularly large turd (concentrating on the water, not looking where i was stepping), and after having to lie down on my belly to safely release the second pike, i found i was lying about 6 inches away from another (equally large) turd.

Probably my fault for not paying attention, but my focus was on the 7lbs of angry, highly developed predator and its rows of nasty sharp pointy teeth.

(Supposedly, Pike produce an anti-coagulant in their mouths, so any bites bleed for a long time. A lot of people buy kevlar unhooking gloves for dealing with pike, but i enjoy the element of danger.)

Whilst all you faggots have been busy cleaning your Cars, I was up and out first thing this morning (which is a rarity, I must admit)doing pretty much the opposite, riding bitch on my mates XT660r.
Around and at some point across the Malvern hills, Colwall, Ledbury.. The forestry tracks, which was new ground for us and then we found our way into the Eastnor Land Rover tracks again, they can't keep us out!
Had a little gander through the local quarry and through CastleMorton back into Colwall.
Even tried my hand at Photography, with my shitty phone camera, and registered on BikePics.

I was working today, but my OH met me at 5.15pm and we went for a ride to Bowness on Windermere, bought a take-away coffee and sat in the sun watching the swans. Had a very enjoyable ride home via Newby Bridge and then along A6

I helped fit a Skunk2 Pro Race intake manifold to my mates B18 powered Civic, definate improvement already so we're well chuffed Mr. Green

Then rode home at full tilt through the forest on the NC30, the only downer was hitting the speed limiter in 4th when there was plenty more room to go to the top of 6th Very Happy

Anita and I are been spring cleaning Cool Thumbs Up

Quite pleased actually: I fixed a "broken" hoover (scarf stuck in nozzle), scored some extra kitchenware and cookery books from rifling thru her father's belongings, found a new toy for the dog - and now I don't mind having people arrive and spend time in my living room any more, cos its lovely and clean and tidy, and hardly any dog hair at all.

The clocks went forward so it was an hour less surely. Or did you lot get up at the same clock time, ie an hour earlier ?

Sadly the irony of the Colwall please drive safely shot, is the guy who took it, is now dead for riding like a prick. Bit of a waste as he was a nice bloke even if he did ride beyond his abilities.

So take a message from that kiddies. Please ride carefully and dont wear flip up lids even if they are convenient.
