McDonald's France's free WiFi blocks SSH. How is one supposed to do any work?! How are all the other people in here on laptops coping?

Visiting the gite we first stayed in back in 2012. View here is always fantastic. Esp. on another sunny winter's day!

Open up social feed to see what friends have been doing. Full of shares & likes of click bait. Is this really what you people do all day?

Android Gmail: select an email address, asks if you want to translate it (huh?), select body of foreign email... it's not an option. Durh!

Need some new bike gear. Winter gloves? Check. Booties? Check. Edge 520? Check. Served by ex-pro TDF rider? Check. Love the LBS here!

Pic du Montaigu & other randomness. Just the sort of every day stuff you see wondering around here Ahhhhh... 
Tuesday 1 December 2015
Today someone told me South of France was much like Aus in Winter. Weather maybe, but this view from today's ride?

Running interesting test to see who reads my posts. Oh wait, no I'm not! As am not a sheep & blog for my enjoyment so don't really mind!

RT @ffflow: Did Merckx do 'an hour on the turbo' if it was a wee bit windy? No, no he didn't.

@sparkyweston: "I totally regret eating that croissant" Erm... said no-one! Ever!

Looking to the val d'Azun (just beyond that village) on what's getting to be a bit of a regular walk above Préchac.
Wednesday 25 November 2015
Have a sore finger from too much nipple* tweaking! *I own a Lenovo laptop... mind out of the gutter please!
Tuesday 24 November 2015
Always nice to look around local markets. Here's the weekly Argelès-Gazost one. Plenty colourful even in winter!
Tuesday 24 November 2015
Crisp morning here! Walking into the village for a look around.

Dear @googlemaps, I'm neither Jesus nor Superman, sorry to disappoint! Maybe I'm just meant to wear waders?

Not sure the solar is going to be doing much work today! Glad the snail has a nice heating system though. Brrrrrr!

Just entered a password like 'iue7848ncbd' for new user in MySQL admin & was told it's weak! Are you f!%king kidding! #EndThePasswordMadness

Remember that pic of a sunny car park top of my ride yesterday? It's now under 18cm of snow according to the report! https://t.co/D1dOvTUphx
Friday 20 November 2015
End of the road today: Pont d'Espagne. Clearly has more popular times but forecast to be snowed in tonight! Brrrrr!

Tuesday 17 November 2015
Tonight's stop: Up at la Croix Blanche just East of Lourdes. Enjoying the tranquillity and a rather nice sunset.

Many references to Lennon's #Imagine in social media recently. Lennon's killer was a born again Christian. Still think Islam is the problem?
Tuesday 17 November 2015
Something totally unbelievable happened today & no-one cares! Please share this! Or: perhaps check the facts before you do? #TooMuchSocialBS
Monday 16 November 2015
220,000 dead in 4.5 years of Syrian civil war. Same as Paris EVERY SINGLE DAY! Still think the answer is more bombs? https://t.co/sm8bDvsAxo

Remember Tourmalet is 2115m up, amazing weather this week! Snow coming so cyclists: get up there while you can!
Sunday 15 November 2015
Col du Tourmalet today. Can you believe it's almost winter!? Few mins off a PB but came home strong. #CantComplain
Sunday 15 November 2015
So the response to recent tragedies will be 'merciless' retaliation? Have we learnt nothing from centuries of war? Seems not!

As we're here: short walk up to the ridge & back. Funny how the cows pick a spot with the best view to relax, huh?
Saturday 14 November 2015
Plateau de Benou is one of our favourite spots. Even better when you wake up here on such a beautiful morning!
Wednesday 11 November 2015
Out riding today a Kite (bird of prey) flew directly at me, dived to the road literally 10m ahead & scooped up some fresh roadkill! #Amazing
Wednesday 11 November 2015
Not been riding much? Try 2xHC climbs (Soulor/Spandelles) when a little out of shape! Beautiful day for some pain!
Wednesday 11 November 2015
Another day, another spectacular view to wake up to... [sigh]...
Wednesday 11 November 2015
Slept in a woodland clearing last night. Woke & stuck head out of skylight to see wild deer nearby before he bounded off into trees #Magical
Tuesday 10 November 2015
Parked by a pocket of woodland tonight. Stars picture just about possible despite light pollution from nearby Tarbes.
Tuesday 10 November 2015
Short evening walk after parking up for the night. Imagine if this was your local single track? Where's my MTB?!
Tuesday 10 November 2015
Woke up to this view right outside our front door. So beautiful! Misty hills down the road weren't bad either!

One of my last memories of Porto: this corner shop smelt divine. Look at all that prosciutto, cheese & Port. Yum!!
Saturday 7 November 2015
Food & drink done, it's time to enjoy more sites of Porto on the way home. These are mainly by the river & old town.
Saturday 7 November 2015
After lunch... time to try the local wares while we sit & watch the world go by. Just a lovely afternoon.
Saturday 7 November 2015
Lunch in Porto. But Pratiwi loves sangria... soooooo... who am I to say no?! Nom, nom, nom
Saturday 7 November 2015
Happy times in Porto. What an wonderful, beautiful place. Especially on a day like today. We loved it here! :)
Saturday 7 November 2015
Porto's old city & river from Luis Bridge, which is actually rather high & railing low so not for those with vertigo!
Saturday 7 November 2015
Inside Porto cathedral. Nice light patterns from the stained glass.
Saturday 7 November 2015
Love these colourful rooftops in Porto. This is the view from right outside the cathedral.
Saturday 7 November 2015
A few random sights from Porto while wondering from the market to cathedral. They like tiled buildings here!
Saturday 7 November 2015
Mercado do Bolhão in Porto. Lots of seafood & fruit & chillies & colour. Oh... & some Port Wine for the tourists
Saturday 7 November 2015
Entering Porto Market (Mercado do Bolhão) we found an entertaining band of musicians. Nice way to start our day here.
