A very pleasant surprise this afternoon. Went for my assessment, 6 weeks after my hip replacement.
"When can I get back on a bike," I asked the consultant.
"Whenever you like" said he!!

Rock and Roll!!!

Last night I made stewed apples (Bradley and Spartan) with honey, star anise, ginger and cinnamon..

OMG! It’s sooooooooooo nom.

Isn't that baby food?

The gypsy gardeners have been today and made a first class job of trimming our driveway hedges and the privets along the back fence. Gave us a good price for taking down three nuisance conifers as well. We've booked that for late January. Gods bless those hard working travelling folk.

I hope those EU Citizens are paying their income tax in our great country, we'll need that tax-cash soon.

Mr R was getting rather excited as CamRider is offering 2 for 1 on motorcycle training over winter, and I'd said I wasn't averse to the idea (I've been toying with getting a motorcycle license for years but never got around to it). It turns out that one of the place the offer doesn't apply is Cambridge...

By coincidence, my m+1 (Yamaha YBR 125) was delivered today. Planning to do an A2 course next year, been riding my scoot on CBTs since 2013, so got a geared bike to practice on.

Happy to report that the correct code was punched into the house alarm a few minutes ago.. The alarm remained silent.
Mrs Pete’s winceyette nightie remains unsoiled... unlike last nights rude awakening klaxon

Unless it involves a train and a plentiful supply of Gin then "I'm out"

Morning. I'm sorry that you were unable to see Schrodie at play this morning. At first I thought he was being naughty by climbing up on to the work top but my wife decided that he wanted to play with an empty tea box.
Once she placed the box on the floor Schrodie dived into it head and paw first propelling himself along the floor like a sled until he crashed into the wall.

Many Romany are UK citizens.

Will the day involve many those ridiculous role playing games?

 

[PeteXXX]

I presume so.

Deep joy

Many Romany are UK citizens.

Of course they are but many more identify as Irish.

Of course they are but many more identify as Irish.

Many people who identify as Irish are UK citizens.

(This feels like "factoids which are a surprise to someone", but I suppose it's also mundane news.)
