Bit of a lazy day on Monday, worked on a new animation. On Tuesday did a brisk ride out to Sheffield Lock along the Kennet and back on the roads to Green Park, about 14 miles. In the evening this happened in the EFL Trophy.Biggest victory in 122 years. Went swimming on Wednesday then popped over to see Andy. On Thursday took some of Andy's washing over to Jeannie on my bike then headed off down the Lodden and back along the Thames, about 14 miles. I stopped off to check out the graffiti under the motorway as it had changed. A bit disappointing as it was mainly tags. These were the pick of the bunch.

Ralph has covid, so its still around. Got the train to Thatcham and walked along the canal to see Andy. A massive improvement from last week, he can get himself around in a chair and no longer has a catheter. Allie and Hamish were there and his old mate Ted. Got the train back from Newbury Racecourse but not a pleasant walk. Did the 5 hills ride on Tuesday. Had a RSAC sound team meeting in the evening. I was meant to go swimming with M on Wednesday but my booking didn't go through for some reason so did the Southcote Lock walk instead. In the afternoon M submitted her thesis. Edith was very pleased.  Found out URZ have been docked another 3 points. On Thursday went over to Tom and Sally's to babysit whilst they went to the Greenwich Comedy Festival. Edith was very chatty in her bouncy chair whilst we had our tea and then just slept until they got back about 11pm.

Set off back late Friday morning. Sally took Edith to Greenwich Park.

Went to see Andy on Monday afternoon armed with fruit, cheese and alcohol free beer. Did gardening on Tuesday. We're having a late heat wave. The Tour of Britain was from  Goole to Beverley, watched highlights on ITV4. Amy went in for her planned caesarean on Wednesday morning. Here's the result.Both doing great. They weren't sure of the name to start with. Had a video WhatsApp with them about 1 30. He looks gorgeous and all are well. Here he is keeping an eye on his dad.He's called Owen Eberlin Ounsley.

A bit of a lazy day on Tuesday. It was M's birthday on Wednesday. I bought her some bath pampering things. We went over to Tom and Sally's in the afternoon. Edith was a bit out if sorts as she had had jabs earlier in the day. She fell asleep on her granny though.We popped out for pint and then had an excellent meal prepared by Tom and Sally. On Thursday Edith had perked up.We took her out for a walk and then set off home. There and back on the Elizabeth Line, it's so easy. Went to see Andy on Friday morning. He's been moved to the rehabilitation unit in the West Berkshire Community Hospital in Thatcham so he's a lot happier. We sat out in the garden. Went up to the Barbican to see Nicklecreek in the evening. Great gig, not sure if I've seen them before but I have seen Chris Thile at least once before in The Punch Brothers. They were excellent. I thought the were just fiddle, mandolin and acoustic bass but they also have a guitarist. We got the Elizabeth Line again, this time to Farringdon and had really nice Italian at a place called Apilua. Even M enjoyed the evening. London's not cheap though. Meanwhile Edith was getting the hang of crib...

...the Eberlins were at Paesanos...

...and Tom had a piesanose.

On Saturday lunchtime Cracking Up played at the Cross Keys in Wallingford as part of Bunkfest. No photos but here's the stage and The Ironics who were on before us.

Its quite a big event.

In the evening we went to Stuart and Clare's 40th wedding anniversary bash up at Park House in the university. A very enjoyable do and I did all the ceilidh dances. Went to RSAC on Sunday for a HCTS follow up meeting followed by beer and pizza.
