Thanks. Used as much free electricity as possible. Batteries fully charged so the rest of the day, and perhaps tomorrow will be free too!!

Lovely cycle to Shaftesbury on Saturday for a swim in their fantastic heated Lido.
Lunch in the Black Cactus helped to give me the energy to cycle home.

It's great that Tredegar House @nationaltrust.org.uk has got an EV charger. Please can you upgrade the cycle parking - it is on main @sustranscymru.bsky.social cycle route 4 after all? Lovely 40km cycle ride from Ynysybwl this morning through the valleys.

What a difference on the Welsh train. Lots of space for bikes, and a strap to hold it in place!

My Cardiff train terminated at Bristol. But an hour later and I'm on a crowded train to Cardiff. Cycle carrying provision is pitiful. Wishing I could have thought of more stuff to leave behind!!

They may be a family butchers, but certainly not family friendly. I had to go into the road with the pushchair. Seeing this sort of parking more and more.

@bathnes.bsky.social our disabled toddler loved your swings while we were visiting to pick up his special wheelchair. He was so happy. Thank you.

Took a nasty tumble out running with my dog this morning (failed to clear a groyne on the beach). Had trouble walking, but got to a Beryl bikes' hire e-bike. Ava pulled me most of the way home (with assist uphill). So cold by the time I got there. What a trooper!

Cycling to work this morning was amazing. Misty early on at Wimborne, a falcon flew over my head at Upton Park, then beautiful sunrise over Poole harbour. Sadly the last commute this way we're moving to new offices.

I think if you haven't got the tools to put together an Ikea cupboard you shouldn't be buying stuff from Ikea. Just clearing out years of allen keys included in flat packs. Why are they included? How can I recycle them?
