Rain god today. I could see a massive storm over the Air Balloon as I rode towards Gloucester and the Forest of Dean. Blue skies all the way along the A48, through Littledean, Speech House, Worral Hill, Staunton and into the Wye Valley at Monmouth. Fish & chips by the bridge. Pricey now but mitigated by taking a flask of coffee. Returned along the Wye Valley and then cross country via Newent, skirting the Malverns and back over the River Severn at Haw Bridge. Some very wet roads in places but I missed the rain. The bike is turning beige.

You reminded me of Rob McKenna from So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.

Zitat
�And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him.�

I�m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!

well spotted - the photo of the bike with the muffs is an archive photo from late 2022
