Moral Fibre.

 The most read article in the Guardian (as at 13:00hrs today) was something about eating more fibre and less juice.  That tells us something about Guardian readers methinks.

Top Tips.

 Ways to save motoring costs:  1. Don't drive. 2. Errr, thats it.

Simply Red.

 I should have known better really.  Clicking on the video about the guy who 'invented' square wheeled bike immediately brought up an advert for a portable coolbox-like thing, and after around 1 minute I gave up.  I'll never know about the square wheels now. I blame the cool box manufacturer.

Sporting news.  I have finally managed to get a decent bike ride in this year.  My trip to the Dolomites demands a few weeks of training so here's hoping this is the start.  I'm have 2 nights away at Burnley this week and I have my summer bike in the boot ready and waiting.  There's some really steep hills in that area, so partly dreading and partly looking forward to it.  Lets hope the weather keeps fine.     

Breaking Bad

 Jerry Hall 'bought robot vacuums' during lockdown because she didn't have staff.  That's according to her friends.  It's a hard life for some isn't it?  We didn't have staff either during lockdown, wish I'd have thought of the robot vacuum option.  Could have done with the robot lawnmower as well.

In other news, I've noticed a growing number of 'Person X breaks silence on issue Y....' headlines (aka clickbait) that gives the impression that there has been a long period without comment on subject Y because they are mulling over the implications of any statement, when in reality the elapsed time is minimal, and it's perhaps not even worth commenting on, and if they are asked by a shouty reported 'aye up luv, what about Y?' they will normally say something thereby breaking the silence.  Not that the silence was there in the first place, but don't let that get in the way of an enticing headline.  

Power Cycle.

 A big increase in worldwide wind and solar power in 2022 sounds like a positive thing, and in fact there is a high probability that we have reached a peak in environmentally unfriendly electricity production.  That has to be good news, for the planet and pollution in general.  I'm lucky/unlucky enough to live fairly near the river Trent, where you can usually see 2 or 3 trails of pollution heading off in the direction of the wind for many many miles.  Hopefully this will be getting less now. 

Famous for what?

 I've learnt today that you can buy 'Tik-Tok famous cabin bags'.  Amazing.  In other news, the cheapest supermarket is revealed to be Aldi, or was it Lidl, whoever it was it was no surprise given the quality of some of their stuff.  I'm still wondering what the famous Tik-Tok bags are.

There's another 'news' article about a man who asked a woman to move from a train seat he had purchased which she did.  Crucially, he filmed the 'incident' and therefore provide The Independent with a story.  Phil Space would have been proud.  

SITT

 KSI is a blogger.  Or was it a Youtuber? Influencer?  Content creator?  Probably of the above, but until I delved below the headline, I didn't even know it was person.  I have no idea what it stands for and there isn't enough spare time in my life to invent something, not even to think about Kan't Spell, Idiot.  Except he hasn't got a comma, so I've messed up there.  Anyway, he's admitted to posting some racist content, so 'stepping back' from what ever he does/is.  It was quite high up in the online version of The Guardian, so it must be important.

I other news, I've entered one of my favorite 10K races, the Caistor 'Sting in the Tail' which takes you on a fairly flat 7K before hitting you with a very hilly 'Sting' that sucks the life out of your lungs.  Great fun.
