What a wonderful weekend many of you have been having. Lovely photos of meet-ups, and very expressive pictures of ITG's agony.

I'm sneezy too, Daisy; hoping it's pollen, probably is, usually starts about beginning of June.

My sneezy season is just ending as tree pollen finished thankfully. Feel for hay-fever sufferers

I noticed my son was quite bad today…luckily I’m not as bad as I used to be. I noticed his eczema is bad as well but silly bugger forgets to take his antihistamines

I've just done a LFT as the bunged-upness has progressed to a scratchy throat, a cough and feeling tired. A negative result thank goodness, so it must just be a summer cold. Given that in the last few days I've been on trains and buses and in a room with 100 others at the club AGM, I suppose catching a cold shouldn't be too surprising.

I'll be off to bed good and early tonight.

Thanks everyone. Had a lovely day out at RL100. All went well, weather was good and one minor delay of 20 mins about 40 miles in, due to a heart attack, but the guy has recovered, so all good.

However, I mght have had a bit of a spectacular crash at 85 miles, bombing down a hill at 25+mph :-O I called out 'passing right' and the guy in front moved right instead of left, causing me to clip the RH kerb and do a fairly dramatic slide across the pavement :-) Luckily only scrapes and bruises and the helmet did it's job. Managed to patch up the bike and complete the ride fine. So I finally have my classics medal :-) I think I might ache a little tomorrow ;-) But all in all a great ride through lovely Essex countryside (mostly). Highly recommended.
