Today I saw...

[BobClay]

The outside thermometer here is sitting on zero .... and it's raining steadily. No snow so I'm assuming the temperature further up in the cloud is higher.
The size of that low pressure area in the Atlantic is something to behold. (Sod crossing the North Atlantic in that.)

Out to the west, where I am, it's going up around a degree an hour.

We're up near 3C now,

A little over 50 miles away, It's 12C and drifting this way.

-0.8 in our garden at the moment, only got to -4.1 overnight. The greenhouse is a tropical 3.

Technically it's Spring in a couple of weeks. The Met Office define the seasons in three monthly slots as basing it on solstice's and equinox's can throw out the statistics (the dates vary slightly.)

Now where did I put my sun glasses ... ?

Was sun glasses weather here this morning out on the Chase. Effing freezing, but sunglasses all the same.

Today I met @littleme & the Carer. He recognised me before she did.

He's got new bins, came today, which means he can actually see now! I'd had a long week of 5.30am get ups, but other than that have no excuse.... I may have to resign from the detective agency.

Here's one for Women's Day. One of the great heroines of yesteryear. Beatrice Shilling on her Norton. The first women to average 106 Mph on a lap of the Brooklands Circuit. AND if that wasn't enough !!! Read about her invention that cured a problem on the Spitfire's Merlin engine. In an age when it wasn't quite acceptable for a women to be an engineer, she showed how it was done. (Inspired by her Norton too)

More details here.

I rode a 1955 500cc Norton ES2 when I was a student in Edinburgh back in the 60's. I suspect it was a descendant of Tilly's bike. But that exposed primary chain on her bike, I'm not sure I could have lived with that.

Saw a D&B bus broken down and getting help near the Chase on the way to the NMA

3-4 hours later, on our return, an Arriva bus is broken down in the same place

What are the chances?

Had to go to Bideford today to get the car serviced. Walking around in bright sunshine I saw this place the name of which I find a bit comical.

SHEDS 4 YOU

They seemed pretty busy but it is an essential service as you never know when you might get the urge to acquire another shed.

By the way I don't have a shed. I'm Bob (no sheds) Clay.

In the car service place also so this BSA Bantam !!! A lot of older bikers passed their tests on one of these. (Not me, I passed it on a Honda.) I'll say this, they've kept it in good nick.

Just been for a lovely dog walk with a friend through the fields of Bednall through to The Chetwynd Arms and back again.

A friend of mine from the village has painted leaves with inspirational messages (transient art they call it). They've been placed in various places for people to see.

This is one of them. Quite sweet I thought.

I cycled through Bednall the other day. Once you get past the sacrificial outsider's head, hanging from the welcome sign, it really is a very charming village
