  @KarlMarx looks like Cannondale are going to switch to releasing new models later in the year, but not sure if they are starting that this year

  @Eejit Love them - they are everywhere at the moment. It's a Thick-legged Flower Beetle. Only the male has legs like Andre Greipel!

  The House Sparrows are dust bathing this evening in freshly dug dry soil that used to be a bit of grass (I'd call it a lawn but that would give the wrong impression) at the back of our house that I turned over to a mini-allotment the first weekend of Covid 'lockdown'. Such energetic, garrulous, comedic birds.

  Went for a walk after tea this eve. Passing the local recreation ground, I noticed that the cricket square had been mown today - highly optimistic I would have thought.
