Another tough day at the computer, now implementing the latest version of this new design. I'm happy that it's going to do the job, and I can show the work to our Dutch visitors tomorrow. They are going to be trialling the software next month in the Netherlands and I had to get this right before meeting them and finalising aspects of the design with them.
I celebrated by hooking up with M to watch No.1 son play cricket for a while, a friendly game where he actually opened the bowling with his off-spin. He delivered a few jaffas and got a wicket with a bad one, to a great catch, but it started to drizzle soon after the start of the innings so it wasn't easy to grip the ball. He really hasn't bowled regularly enough this season to have found any kind of rhythm.
It was decidedly chilly watching the game so just as he finished his spell we set off on the bikes to get warm, cycling into the wind and the rain. Typical summer's day really! M has had another setback with her calf and is now resigned to missing out on the World Masters. She needs some good bike rides to keep her spirits up. We went out via Nesfield to Bolton Bridge, left to Addingham and up the climb of Turner's Lane, then right and left to Swartha to the bottom of the infamous Brunthwaite Hill, exactly a mile in length and an ascent of 600 feet. This was M's introduction to one of my very favourite hills and she climbed well. I found it impossible to resist putting in an effort and was pleasantly surprised to feel very strong. I seemed to arrive at the top very quickly, although I didn't have to go far back down to meet M powering up herself. We then enjoyed a rapid descent back through Addingham Moorside and back to Ilkley with the wind on our backs.
