The view from the afternoon

Back in Hull, and the delights of a cycle thru Boothferry Road. Couldn't get any closer to the charming derelict stadium/former Iceland combo, cos there were some wild kids who have made this bizarre landscape their own. But check out my favourite barber's, Chinese takeaway and beauty therapists, and I challenge ya not to raise a smile.

Also on news radar: Shaboo the cow, condemned to death in south Wales; the crazy capers on the Tour de France - maybe all this doping explains why all the cyclists I pass on 'da Bridge' have manic luminous eyes of hate.
