Thursday AM coffee with @Iain McR & MiniMcR was followed by a spot of Morningsider speeding along my street on a Just Eat bike. Then I met Daisy N out for a walk while she had a phone meeting, which she interrupted for a good chat.

@unhurt - started out as a walk, but a bit boring so I jumped on a bike instead. Sorry I didn't see you.

I was lurking to one side, so you wouldn't have!

Excellent shoulder check, signal, manoeuvre from Bill moving from left lane to right lane to turn up Shandon to the house (at end of commute?) tonight as I headed into town in car, Mrs Garto waiting nicely behind Bill until manoeuvre complete.
Further on next to Diggers spotted Charge Plug bike up on wall of living room. Maybe belonging to Mr Soul Cycles? The van is sometimes thereabouts

@gembo It was me! I really appreciated the driver holding back so that I could hop onto the right turning lane. Thanks Mrs Garto :)
Mr Soul Cycles indeed lives around Diggers. The van is often parked around Wardlaw Terrace as it's a free to all parking.

Scenes from a bicyclist's house:
Had a bath and changed all my clothes after a day out in the mud and rain. Coming down the wooden stairs I heard something fall behind me. Had a look and it was a Presta valve cap.
No idea why freshly laundered clothes would have such a thing associated with them but I guess that's just how it is.

You put the cap in your pocket when the trousers were on you the time before. You forgot to put the cap back on the bike or as I actually dont see you doing that, you were at bike station and another cap was in your range of vision and that one went back on. Either way the cap was in your pocket when the trousers were in the wash. Then when you put them back on the next time Hey Presta!
Holmes had a similar case with a Goose and a large gemstone called the Blue Carbuncle.

You are right I am a diligent replacer of caps mainly because I noticed roadies leave them off for the weight gain. That is weight loss. You know.

Spotted @gembo fingering fake butteries in the Balerno Scotmid. He recommended the macaroni pie and he was quite correct.

Just to add the fake butteries were in a packet and I was merely showing them to The Iwrats. I only eat veggie sourdough rowies.

Guy in Glencorse cycling in a full-body hi-viz Lycra suit.
Guy in Dalkeith with a trailer and a dog trotting beside him in the road. No Lycra on dog or rider.

Beautiful little outdoor cafe with fairy lights at Bridge 8 on the canal tonight. I pulled up to let some people through a big puddle and comtemplated popping into the cafe. But windy, wet and needed to get home.

@gembo I've been seeing references to them running a 'Nordic experience' of late which sounds like what you saw.

@jdanielp

Nordic Twilight Experience indeed
Paddle then dinner which looks to be a big bread roll and some curry sauce?

Recumbent trike turning right off the A70 onto Glenbrook Road this afternoon. Rider all kitted out in fluo yellow, with bright lights and two yellow pennants on poles. Very visible. I was heading west at the time.
A bit later on, near the Sainsbury's petrol station in Currie, I'm sure I passed one of those pennants lying on the road. Trust everything was OK.

She now lives in a village outside Edinburgh and feels much safer running in the hills. “I don’t worry about a serial killer coming to stab me in the middle of nowhere!”
Balerno?

Balerno is one of the very few places on God's green Earth I have been offered a fight for no reason whatsoever.

Balerno quite peaceable unless the Bush telegraph suggests the Sunlit Uplander is on its way.
West Currie though is rife with the Covid. West Currie is an area of Edinburgh containing Heriot Watt Uni.

Thankee Dr Frenchy I have launched an inquiry to find the JGHS head teacher dancing to David Bowie. Strong let’s dance version that fits which was Auntie Pat.

Great article. The gulf between sports journalism about sports and sports journalism about sportspeople once the machine spits them out always makes ma heid birl.
Elite sport is about obsession bordering on lunacy but that seems to be taboo when the athletes are earning?
