Wife asked why, besides the taste, I add a pinch of chicory to my coffee. I replied, "It has inulin in it." Try saying that quickly.

My 8yo made a little booklet called ‘The Book of the Universe and many more things in this vast but small world of life, death, cycles and reality that we somehow survive in by using natural resources as our key to life.’ The pages are blank, but that’s one hell of a title.

Cycling in the rain is a refreshing experience this time of the year. At a cafe stop I dried my specs yet if you look closely there are dark spots where the rain drops were. Answers on a postcard.

We enjoyed the new film, Pressure, even though it was too noisy for Gaynor and I'm too deaf to make the words! Lol Except when General Eisenhower was yelling at the British meteorologist.

The UK children's celebrity Tiny Tim's Adventures sat in the next aisle to us on the #IOM ferry. Gangs of giggly children and a lads rugby team swamped him for photos. Small girls drew pictures to give him. Sweet. No one swamped me for a selfie. Could be cos he has 6.4 million followers. I have 14.
