We moved the clocks onto British Summertime last night, moving the clocks forward one hour, and duly we have had a nice spring day today. Warm in the sunshine.
It has been a busy week (when isn’t it ?). I spent most of the week in Windsor, at an IT conference – which was informative, if a little geeky at times. Of course this coincided with the visit of the French President, hence these photo’s of Windsor with the French flag draped alongside the Union Jack. These were taken about 8am before all the crowds came in.
Friday evening was a curry night with some friends, and Saturday night we went to a 50th…. Oh dear, it sure is a sign of being in your late 40’s when some of your friends are celebrating 50.
On Saturday Tricia and I went out on the bikes for a few hours, it was a bit blustery and was spitting with rain, but it was nice to get out and do something together. Robbie went off to Aylesbury to see his new girlfriend, Nikki was in Aylesbury working at Homebase. Ellie went to a friends party.
Today, Tricia was at Brunel Uni as part of a Bucks squad training day (athletics). Nikki went off to Hemel H and did her first outside athletics training of the year, and seems to have really enjoyed it, and came back very positive. Hmel is only 20 mins from her uni, and with the new car she has arranged to meet her coach there on Sundays for the forseeable future.
I took advantage of the weather and went out on the bike again… when I sat on the saddle first thing, my rear was somewhat sore after the previous days cycling, so I didn’t go quite as far ![]()
Not too sure why I am reading the Lee Child book… I have started so I will finish. I heard a review on the radio that sounded reasonably good, but it is somewhat predictable, and offers nothing new.


Ah yes the day after cycling tenderness. I’m about to dig my bike out for the good weather and will no doubt be equally saddle sore for a while.
