What is my primary motive in cycling? Exercise, pure and simple. Not any worthy or noble cause like saving the Planet. The old school re-opens tomorrow, so I hope to resume my 200 lengths-per-week discipline then, when I shall ease off the cycling.
The old shoes were l
ike new: re-soled and ready for another ten years of misuse! I paid the shoe-mender the outstanding balance of eight pounds, having given him a £10 deposit one week ago. The shop fascia is traditional, with Botanic Boot & Shoe Repairs emblazoned in the middle; T Hughes at one side; and est. 1954 on the other.The irony of wearing all those layers of protective clothing, for T Belmont, is that I invariably sweat like a pig! It might be better cycling the naturist way; perhaps not. I had to strip down to my under-pants when I arrived home, the effect of the cycle ride like being in a sauna.
About the slug: there was a small one crawling along our hall carpet this morning. Bizarre, that. I, most likely, brought it home with me yesterday on the sole of my shoe; I'd been to Gibb's Island. I used an empty Walker's Sensations crisp packet to scoop it up.

Such inspirational pectoral muscles! I think I might join a gym.
Ha ha! Comes with decades of habitual swimming, twice-weekly gym, the odd spot of cycling and extra-curricular activities!
I've just kept at it, literally, since I left school. I, too, enjoy fry-ups occasionally like the celebrated Ulster Fry!
I usually enjoy a Chinese or Fish & Chips every Sat., too.
Good to hear from you,
Tim
Distressed to learn you eat Walkers Sensation crisps, as indeed the slug might have been due to the saltiness.
Ha ha! What crisps do you recommend then?
Tim
