It's higher than it has been in most if not all of the photos I've previously posted but it's still not particularly high
"Current River Level: 1.434m, rising
Within the usual range for this location
The usual range of the River Avon at Bradford on Avon is between 1.01m and 1.58m. It has been between these levels for 90% of the time since monitoring began.
The typical recent level of the River Avon at Bradford on Avon over the past 12 months has been between 0.72m and 1.45m. It has been between these levels for at least 150 days in the past year.
The highest level ever recorded at the River Avon at Bradford on Avon is 3.42m, reached on Tuesday 24th December 2013 at 4:45pm."
It's fun when the river is flowing fast. |

Fitted another P.I.R. light today, this time on my new shed.
It fitted well and went up without much fuss, AND it works !.

I popped over to visit my former colleagues in the other building and discovered that my consultants had left me some Xmas pressies which I hadn't got round to collecting in the rush to try and get to Australia.
Apparently there is a bottle of wine but I couldn't get into that office (no keys any more) but also there was a box of smellies ("Rituals", which I really like) and a gift card with £100 from Peter Jones - wasn't expecting that.
Result. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Wasn't gonna go out on the Snarley.
There was a memorial ride for a girl I vaguely know but didn't much like, who had recently snuffed it unexpectedly.
And I thought "Why should I bother?"
And then I thought "But what if people thought that about me when I died: oh that old bag, can't be arsed going out in the cold just to raise a glass to her".
And some of my mates who liked her more than I did ( ) were bothering to put themselves out by riding up a fair old trot from points south and west so its not as if I was the only one riding in potentially shitty weather.
So I decided to haul my lazy arse out for a ride.
Because after all, she was a bird, and she rode a bike, so I felt I might have owed her the ride just out of respect for those two similarities, I dunno, being alike me in some way.
And I'm glad I did.
Bit of blue sky, and some sunlit-woodsy bits.

Nice. | I rode to Colchester for to buy stuff yesterday afternoon and it was lovely going, but like riding directly into a lit WW2 searchlight coming back. I suppose this must happen in summer in the early mornings/late evenings but I never seem to have a memory of that.
One of the things I had to buy was a new PC keyboard as the most used letters have worn off the old one and I can't get all the biscuit crumbs out any more. Probably been using a keyboard every day since about 1995 and still need to look at it as I type. I've progressed to two fingers instead of one finger now (ooer), but this just means going back to each sentence and putting the letters in the right order, one finger typing this doesn't happen. ____________________ Blackmail is a nasty word........but not as nasty as phlegm!

Found a little Art&Lutherie parlour size guitar on the local gumtree for £50. It has a small dent in the arse of it and the seller thought the neck was splitting from the body but actually its a bolt on neck design so a tighten up with a sash clamp and a few turns with a socket pulled the neck back into place. The guy selling it said rather ominously his flatmate wouldn't be needing it anymore , so im wondering if this explains the dent in it. Ive now christened the geetar Little Murderer. |

My photoshoot at Connaught Water went very well.
The photographer thought I should sit in her car and stay warm so that I didn't have a red nose in the photos so I dicked about on my phone for 2 hours, while the others went down to the waters' edge.
No loos in that bit of the forest, just a car park. I dashed off to the local pub ont bike, dropped the kids etc etc and dashed back again.
Then I just had to put on me tracky bottoms and vest, go down by the pond (very pleasant, rather brisk, ducks, swans, geese) and jog a bit on the spot and up and down about five yards in front of the photographer. A chap I was doing pix with yesterday also came along and they photographed us together "jogging" along.
I had a brief glimpse of some of the photos and I look stupidly healthy, hair flying in the wind ( ) - not my usual couch-potatoey self.
I think its advertising for a health app to get tubsters back off their arse, assortment of variously diverse peeps looking happy whilst doing healthy-looking things. I barely got myself out of breath.
And that was it!

Replaced the 11 year old dynamo light on my bicycle with a state of the art one. If only this type of lighting was mandatory on all bicycles they'd all be seen without dazzling. It's got a fantastic light output but a beam pattern like a car headlight; all on the road, none in the eyes of other motorists. It's only 2.4W (dynamos are a fixed 3W output, with 0.6W of it going to the rear light) but yet somehow produces plenty of light to see.

The problem is you'd have to mandate beam alignment so as to not dazzle oncoming vehicles, i.e. an MoT for push-bikes ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Went for a little drive with the senior consort on Saturday, the plan was to go to Deal, but parking was shite (possibly not helped by the car being very large )
So we ended up going down to St Margaret's Bay which was WAY nicer than Deal. Bit of a journey down a windey road, but well worth it at the bottom, tucked right in amongst the White Cliffs round the corner from Dover. Lovely. I grew up in the Auckland version of places like St Margaret's.
And the pub ("The Coastguard") was extremely nice. Its so close to France that my phone signal jumped to Roaming, wtAf
Baked brie with bread and some onion marmalade in front of roaring fire, plus merlot. Mustn't grumble ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
