Currently watching a film, called The Rezort, on Netflix.
Think of it as Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs. And with zombies instead.
A computer virus disables fences. You can guess the rest.

Tactical pen
Do I need a tactical pen? I guess not.
Seriously, though, one must ask why this is necessary.
Prescription sunglasses
You know that feeling when you walk into a dark pub, wearing your new prescription sunglasses?
The one where you call over a dog? Yes, that one.
Cycle route 1
The national cycle path network is a wonderful thing. Last weekend saw us largely on route 14, while today it’s 1.
New tent
The new tent we bought a few weeks is on its first outing.
A morning in the shed
After last weekend’s pretence that the shed no longer existed, I’ve spent most of this morning working on the second wall. Most of the lower, inner wall is now in the garden.
And, in common with my experience of the first wall, last year, I’ve exposed a neighbour’s garden.
Time for some gardening before we take my mother to lunch.
Glasses
I so love my new glasses.
Handmade in the UK. I shall name them Brexit.
Distance
We’re trying to build up our cycling distance, with more cycling and less beer.
And we’ve made a pretty decent step towards that goal today.
After picking up a delivery from Team Valley, we headed to Swalwell, cycling up the Derwent Walk to Rowlands Gill.
After stopping off to eat in Derwent Park, we cycled (mostly walked) up the beast that is Busty Bank. Close to death, we stopped at Burton House for a well earned beer rest.
And then it was mostly downhill until we fell into the Marquis of Granby.
Where we had a couple of beers before calling a cab cycling home.
We’re now doing some gardening.
Portrait
Digging through old festival pictures and came across this one.
(Actually a very recent caricature)
Fitness
I’m quite enjoying our drive to improve our (disgraceful) state of fitness.
Yesterday’s bike ride, while a little shorter than last week’s, was more stretching.
We cycled to the Schooner this time.
After food, we cycled across the Tyne to the Tyne Bar. Then to Arch 2 and the Cluny.
After a short bike ride into town, we stopped off for a rest at the Town Mouse.
And the Head of Steam.
And the Bridge Hotel.
There might also have been a nightcap in our local.
