It started with me cycling to meet my son <strong>Peter<\/strong> who was cycling to us. We pedalled back together (Both of us getting miles under the belt.) He assisted me yesterday morning as I cleared my gutters) He pedalled back to <strong>Bishop&#8217;s Cleeve<\/strong> while I went to play cricket for my club who completed an emphatic victory.<\/p>\n<p>I got back in time to watch the <strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Giro d&#8217;Italia<\/span><\/strong> highlights which was sensational! What a race! I glanced at the TV Guide to see there was a whole evening of<strong> Bruce Springsteen<\/strong> on the TV. He is a superb song writer on a wide variety of issues and a fantastic performer. We have been lucky enough to see him on three occasions &#8211; each one was brilliant!<\/p>\n<p>Today has been more gutter clearing (this time at a much safer level)!<\/p>\n<p>I am off story telling tomorrow at a Care Home which will be my sixth visit since December!<\/p>\n<p>Woodpecker has once again visited &#8211; the pictures are from today!<\/p>\n<p><a
