An early start; and early out for a day at the office. Made sweeter by the news the boss wasn't coming in (long story... he insisted on telling me nonetheless) Still, all the more cake for me to have (cherry and almond if you're interested)

And productive, too. I started the day by applying for a new Bike to Work bike (as someone who needs transport for the job it seemed legit to me to do it on company time...) Then ploughed through a lot; out at lunchtime for a wander - much restricted access at the St James Centre; and back for an afternoon of plotting routes for the rest of the week.
Then after 6, I headed to Magdalene Towers to see Baz and his recently acquired dog from Cyprus; Herbie (see extra). Seems a placid hound; somewhere between timid and aloof.
Before darkness rolled in, I sprinted for home - possibly faster than I have ever driven the same journey - 18 minutes for 6 miles; I did get pretty much every light at green, but even so. Sweat was rolling off me when I got in.

Tuna with sweet chilli sauce, rice, courgettes and a hot bath... And still got two bike races to watch...

Camouflage umbrella; difficult to spot from above against speckled tarmac pavements.
