A nice gentle ride in the dry today after yesterdays marathon wet ride, I take the 5 out of town then a short stint on the E19 before taking a right onto the pleasant 73, thankfully this was the only water I see today and none falls on me

A bendy dry road amongst greenery

This fella was crossing the road and was easy to see but some twat driving a minibus had to hit it sending it spinning across the road, I picked it up and placed it on the grass on the side it was crossing to but I think the damage has already been done.
On the way back about three hours later it was still in the same spot where I placed it, I know theyre not the fastest moving creatures but even so it should have moved

Oops, I asked if the driver had fallen asleep but apparently he was parked there and the soil was so wet from the recent rain that it just sank in and tilted over

Its contents were being pumped into another lorry then a crane was coming to lift it out, from here I rode back the way I rode here

I bet the food thing was a bit of an issue here, did you get used to it and start enjoying the eating?

Phil the food was awesome, southern Indian food was a whole new thing and delicious, Malaysian dishes were fantastic too

Yep -when i was there I loved the Indian food. It's quite eye opening how many Indian dissent people live there, migrating initially during the colonial times.
