Wednesday 9th July - And the French cyclists have at last gone back to FrenchLand.

No biking for me today. Actually I'm so sick with a cold that I can barely stand up.

My new inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard arrived yesterday. I can't wait to take it out on the water. Going to go to the store and get cold meds and maybe if they work well enough I'll go over to the corner park and try it out this evening... or maybe just go back to bed.

Oh, that's what those are! I saw a couple on the canal a few weeks back and thought it was a couple of students pissing about on surfboards, I didn't realize they were a real thing!

Standing up paddling those things looks like you are punting in a canoe. I tried creating a word for that by combining "punting" and "canoing" but came up with "pooing".

Not a good choice, so I tried reversing "canoing" and "punting" but that gave me "cunting".

So I'm kinda glad you gave me the word "Paddleboarding"!
