this is an English-language newsgroup, fuckwit.

 

I was vaguely considering this until I saw the forecast for tomorrow.

 

those are English transliterations[1] of
Y Fenni
Rhaeadr Gwy
Aberaeron



[1] this is correct as the languages have different alphabets

 

I know the welshish accent is thick, but how do those two conflate?

Dropping to far below 20C for you?

 

Fine if you live in Aberaeron. Wiltshire otoh is expecting heavy rain
tomorrow afternoon according to this morning's forecast.

 

email.me:

BBC Swindon
"A dry day with some sunshine, but an isolated shower possible towards the
east of the region in the afternoon. A little less warm, with northwesterly
winds staying light."

You fucking great PFF.

Sunny Essex appears to be set dry for tomorrow. So, no new news there
then.

 

It's all got a bit fucking noisy round here in the last ten minutes.
If the rain matches the theatrical introduction, I could be washed
away.

 

we had a thunderstorm pass over in the last hour. Lots of noise, about 10
mins of rain in total, in shorter bursts. Bright sunshine again now.

I could hear what sounded like a pretty heavy storm somewhere but it
didn't get over here.

 

and it was a lovely ride, mostly. Just the 2 bikes, with Steve & K on the
VFR.

Cool breeze in the morning. Quite warm on the coast and got scorchio by the
time we hit Llandovery for ice creams. Very little traffic apart from the
last bit when I rode along the A40.

It seems Mitsubishi Colts don't have rear view mirrors as one very nearly
had a boxer cylinder head imprint in his driver's door. Fortunately we were
on the A470 approaching Builth Wells so there was plenty of width for me to
get out of the way.

 

A470 was pretty bad in places, too - but I managed to pass most of it
quite easily.

That did cause a sharp intake of breath followed by me rapidly backing
off just in case the worst happened.

Favourite part of the day - the mental ride over the Aberystwyth
mountain road - sunny, cool, quick, very little traffic.

My 14 years of commuting through the Forest of Dean helped with that.
Unlike Colt drivers, I successfully predicted all sheep movements.

 

Better than mone, then.

Only a short blast dow nthe A2 to visit family, but the Blackwall
tunnel was shut southbound. Took the best part of a nhour to rejoin
the A2/A102 after Blackheath, via Rotherhithe tunnel.

From there it was a blast - the new Wing is super stable at motorway
speeds (plus a few), and the stereo's fully audible, even with the
flip front down and a closed visor.

It doesn't accelerate, as such, it simply gathers speed in a most
deceptive manner.

I love it to bits.
