What are your jeans doing today?

Reminds me of one of my friends in journalism school, who was editor of the "arts & culture" section ... for his weekly article he decided to ride his bike around our town and have a drink at all 8 bars that existed there at the time; he expected to get quite drunk doing so but didn't expect to run into several friends at the first spot, who of course bought him a few rounds to get started, then got other friends to meet him at the other bars & follow suit... I don't remember whether he ended up making it back that night or passed out in a ditch somewhere, and no sense asking him cause he probably doesn't either!

Got up early so i thought i'd do a spot of pike fishing down the canal.. i was even wearing jeans in the "what are your jeans doing thread" .. unheard of right?

I'd got a nice piece of aged gruyere..

..went down to the canal where i spotted an old Reliant Rialto, for the non brits.. these were the cheapest form of motoring for the working man, they only had 3 wheels so they were considered a trike rather than a car so one could drive them on a motorbike license meaning you didn't need to pass a driving test... most were rolled at roundabouts so you don't see them very often.

Took my kid suit shopping today.. due to my.. let's say 'buying habbits' .. i was expecting a £600-800 touch, i was amazed how cheap a reasonable quality suit is.. Calvin Klein silk tie aside, all this came to less than £300 from Next..

Having never owned a suit myself, at 15.. he's allready a more rounded human being B)

A little bit different kind of Saturday ride than what @Double 0 Soul does - long and slow family ride. My kids are probably 20 pounds bigger than they were last year, the hills are getting really tough!

One of the four lakes we rode along (this is the Great one).

And a stop at our favorite playground.
