oh booger...T's just phoned me...they've ridden in torrential rain all day & are camped in a swamp in Preston, soaking wet & peed off. I daresay they checked the forecast before they left but when is it ever accurate?...changeable they say? Says it all but nothing at all really. He says if the weather's going to continue that bad they're giving up. What a bloomin shame, stupid climate. :o(
Dawgs, possums, gladiators.
Thanks for the blog-URL Robinia, meant to send you a reply during the evening but the phone rang and I was on it for hours so I suspect you will have gotten it this morning instead. No post after Friday - hope that doesn't mean they've had to give up? Tell them to come kayaking in Stockholm instead like some brits do (if indeed he is British? Sounds that way to me but perhaps it's yet another Swede trying to be funny...) The ship in the background is the af Chapman, she was built in 1888 and serves as a youth hostel now. Very pretty she is. I stayed there one night, long before I moved here, and I still remember the swan gliding past outside the window of the shower room in the morning and I remember the smell of the water - our water is brackish.
Woofy if you're done carpeting the lawn it's time to think about a doormat - ha ha ha they really can't can they!

You should ask Tarquin and Hermeseta if the biddies can do the illustrations for the blog, Robinia, there seems to be so many lovely tandem pictures out there.
That's one adventure they'll always remember, Neti, I bet it comes up in conversation every year... There's a guy in Stockholm who's started a cycle rickshaw service - that's my kind of tandem! No actually I miss cycling, used to do it a lot when I lived in a smaller town, but the traffic scares me here.

a'noon...not heard from the terrible tandem twosome yet today so I don't know if that's good or bad...they're probably staggering round Blackpool in Kiss me Quick hats.
(The local church bells were ringing yesterday afternoon, must have been a wedding...poor things :o( )
oh has van sprout been to the paintshop via the backstreets? tut....have we upset ya Vincent? I hope not, but feel free to thwack me if I have...I couldn't hurt anymore than I already do. I've been battling with a bloomin sinus headache down the side of my head, I can't even chew a custard.... think it's gonna be an anti-bio job....or a stick of dynamite.
blame the weather...blame it for everything....

They're still around, jno, those glasses. I've got a pair but my eyes seem to be too old, I don't get the full effect anymore. This buddha is best viewed with red and blue glasses, not red and green, and the room should be dark-ish.
well the way today was back home :o( ... abandon tandem
what an all round cr4ppy weekend
in fact, abandon all hope

Aa that's too bad, Robinia - after so many preparations (I'm guessing.) :(
Well good night biddies and good night Vinny wherever you are and whyever you aren't here, g'night

good morning all, just a quick pop in before we start a day of visits to the tip....just cannot believe the carp that we have kept carefully stored.
Rubber carpeting the lawn has worked well....we have had filthy weather this weekend and the carpet has stayed more or less green so success.....love the doormat Kit, there is one you can get that says "never mind the dog, beware of the wife" which I like too.
I hope Vinny hasn't wandered too far...has someone emailed him?

G'day Woofy and the rest of you dawgs. I spent a distressing night in a hospital bed - no not in real life, just bad dreams. Someone I once knew is terminally ill, so I learned last night. She's my age and their youngest child is fourteen. We met at university when the road stretches endlessly ahead, full of pleasant choices to make, and as we've worked in the same profession and lived in the same town our paths have crossed throughout the years. I was told by a mutual friend...
...who, to change the subject, has spent part of the summer in France. She spoke of Monet's garden in Giverny, where their daughter had insisted on going. Apparently it looks very much like it does in paintings and old photos, except that the water lilies are situated across a newly built road and you have to access that part of the garden via a pedestrian underpass...! But the Japanese bridge is still around, and they were allowed inside the house as well. The view from Claude's bedroom window was something to behold, she said.
