Nothing really stands out, which seems a bit odd. Neither positive nor negative, just chugging along.

Back to work (haha) with quite a lot of time spent catching up with all the many things I didn't keep up with in Ireland. And then all over again after a week in London. Decidedly a good month, with some splendid warm, bright, blue-sky days.

After the heat of August, a totally cool month in more ways than one. Way up north in Northern Ireland staying in a lovely, warm and comfortable house about 100 metres from a huge great strand. People said, what for? Because we could, and it turned out to be a much better time that passed much more rapidly than I could ever have imagined.

Phew! What a scorcher! Seriously, August was hotter for longer than I can remember. Almost impossible to go for a walk at any reasonable hour, and although I managed a few early morning rides, they got pretty hot pretty fast too.

Very late, which is entirely understandable as I have very little of substance to report. We were away for almost the entire month having fun and relaxing, as it should be.
