An archive shot today of a previous rainy day. Its been raining most all the week, but last night the winds came also. The weather forecast didnt make much of it, but for the second storm in a row, this non-cyclone storm caused more general damage to the city than thy cyclone several months back. All night the roof rattled and rolled (causing me to venture upon it after work to ensure it was all still there), trees broke, gates broke, fences fell. We lost a few tree branches and broke a gate latch, but were otherwise lucky.
As we enter the evening, all seems to be clearing.

Not many of these around now. This one in great condition.
In it’s many variants it’s (the ADO16) been known as the Austin 1100/1300, Morris 1100/1300, Austin America, Austin Glider,Austin Victoria, Riley 1300, Wolseley 1100/1300/1275, MG 1100/1300, Vanden Plas 1300 and even more I have not listed. A good old British car of the 60’s (into mid 70s) -
It’s been a good while since I’ve been on my bicycle. I was thinking about it over the weekend. The news has been discussing general country obesity issues of recent. Over 60% of the country is technically overweight/obese! It’s appalling. I know using the standard height/weight measure, I’m included in that group (although I would argue it based on muscle mass). So between that and my poor sitting bike I decided to ride to work.
I woke up, it was raining. Tough luck, still riding. Makes lighting a fire on a Monday night even more rewarding I said to myself.
The aims to ride again tomorrow. Just have to dry my clothes and gear first! 🙂
