Could you convert that to 3,400 £50 bikes instead ?My place runs 'pre-retirement courses' which these days are nothing more than Microsoft Teams presentation advice on pension options and how to claim them, the state pension and a couple of links on volunteering - which took up a couple of hours this afternoon
Oh and @rockyroller - I'm only taking partial retirement and dropping a few hours per week, but the Cycle to Work voucher is valid no matter how few hours I do and I get a £2400 bike for the equivalent of around £1700

Morning.
It is gradually getting lighter here . There is a hard frost on our cars . I have been outside to put our recycling bins out . Someone has taken a huge chunk out of the Moon . It looked fine the other day when I last saw it !

Last night just before bedtime Georgie disappeared upstairs . I left the downstairs doors open so that he could go downstairs when he wanted . We turned off the light and settled down to go to sleep . Thump! He landed on me ! Alright he will settle down in a minute . Wrong !
"I'll climb on Daddy . ". "No ! I'll climb on Mummy !"
He came back to me purring away . He needed to see if I was still alive by sticking his paw in my mouth ! HE finally got bored and went off to do his own thing .

I've just been practicing my Great Big Bird Watchy thing whilst I was doing the washing up . There is a hard frost here this morning so there aren't many birds around . I was surprised to see 3 Chaffinches and a Greenfinch. I've only seen 2 Goldfinches which are the most popular bird in our garden . 4 Blackbirds and 4 Wood Pigeons . 2 Blue Tits .
Mist is increasing here at the moment .

Oof, bit delicate this morning. Copious amounts of rather nice 'ales' were consumed last night at Freight Island for the Comedy Store event.
We had food before the event in 'The Plant room' tent - service was really fast - order food via an app - it's used for all food vendors, so we ended up with food from 4 different places.
For the event we moved onto the main 'platform'. There was a 'main bar' which was getting busy. I thought to try the bar where we had eaten, but behind us, tucked away was another unit called 'Pomona Tap' - no-one was going there as it was just off the platform down some steps (old rail terminal building). Got chatting with the bar man and they weren't allowed to 'promote' the bar with additional signs - the 'main bar was obviously owned by the main 'owner'.
I mentioned we 'fancied' coming again the next day for an 'art battle' - 10 artists have to produce art in 30 minutes, and the public vote on the best, as it's my daughter's hobby. The barman suggested we book a table with them, and we wouldn't have to pay the £50 entry fee (for 3) and we'd be sat away from the loud music, but would still be free to go over and see the art on the main stage.
Win win... although I'll probably need the day in bed - two nights out on the trot is hard work seeing as we've not been anywhere much for two years...

Well it never made it down the a45 🎂It never ceases to amaze me how far cake mix can fly if you lift the whisks out of the bowl before they've stopped
Second cuppa went down well
