Wimbledon, Test matches and floods.

I'm doing a charity cycle ride tomorrow. The Great Yorkshire Bike Ride - 73 miles from Wetherby to Filey- gonna be miserable.

Well - 73 miles in 4hrs 45mins and it didn't rain

Can't believe it. It was tipping down until we got within a couple of miles of Wetherby then it stopped and was dry all day.

I'll never forget my 40th birthday - even though it was a long time ago - in June, we had hailstones the size - literally - of tennis balls!

I don't think K grows euphemisms - or rides them either........
