Yep, that good old topic of English conversation, the weather, has certainly been varied this week!
Oh nothing extreme but breezy, overcast and sometimes damp against a background of pre Easter temperatures! But does that matter? its not stopped me doing anything - more on that later.
Firstly today, yes there's new Gaby - Paint it Black is the next chapter of Girl's on Fire.
Next up, I did promise some pics from Germany, I finally remembered so here you go!
If you want to know more info just comment and i'll try to fill you in.
So, back to doing stuff. Well Thursday I sort of curtailed my ride a bit, the weather was quite windy and damp at times so it was essentially out, eat my egg on toast and back!
Friday, well I usually write after the shopping - which I did but instead of the two chapters I was hoping for I only managed one, bit of a blow but not the end of the world.
Then yesterday - the forecast looked drier at least so I set off for Wakefield. Somewhere along the line that changed to the Doncaster moors (think Holland but flatter!) where I stopped for lunch. It got even weirder then, I headed east to loop back home but ended up at the Humber Bridge somewhat further away than i'd intended. That resulted in a dash through damp Lincolnshire (it was dry in Yorkshire!), catching a train for a couple a dozen miles before riding the last bit home. 206km, a total of 9.5 hours from when I left home (only a bit over 7 riding though) and a pair of tired legs! What I was thinking i'll never know, Its a good job I don't usually ride Sundays or Mondays!
And so looking forward this week its writing tomorrow and a shorter ride on Tuesday with hopefully a bit more writing after - if the weather permits!
Well that's it for today,

Near the bridge yesterday
(though had to drive), so our routes almost crossed. Back there today a-pedal so a lot better; and found another cafe. Sometimes like story plots, I suppose our routes take over and write themselves.
So Nena has been at the spargel too. Looks quite the busy tour.

ended up at Hessle this afternoon as well, ice cream under the bridge after a Sunday roast up towards Pocklington somewhere.
Where is this café, curious minds need to know?

Even closer!
I was on Anlaby Road getting fed shortly after noon! Cor, who'd a thunk it..
Looking a bit strange too, cyclist with patchy face hair 'cos I'm having a nice lady with a hot needle lance the bloody stuff a bit at a time.
Cafe! "Neise's" on Anlaby Road, corner of Wheeler Street, opposite Minster Cycles. Really basic stuff, and cheap! See if this works:
Neise's
Decent portion chicken dinner, jam roly-poly and a mug of coffee - £6.30. It's a tiny old-school street cafe with a simple menu, today roast dinners and all-day breakfasts.

well
If i'm out that way again I know where to eat! It's a bit far for a regular day ride, Saturday was a bit silly!
