I'm planning for a lazy day today.

It's always worth getting the bike out...

So how long does it take to prepare for the ride, to put away the bike & how long would it take to walk? You're seriously getting into reduced returns territory.

I often rode the bike to work, then had to travel between buildings once there, so the bicycle made that a lot easier.

It is if you go the scenic route

Now you're changing the conditions.

Managed to get my morning constitutional in without getting wet.

My work computer is now doing updates - 13% complete so far...

I also have a dentist appointment later this morning 😱

Careful, they'll depending oon you for welfare soon and inviting the family instead of doing productive foraging...

That's what we were worried about . Him telling his friends that they keep you in for the night and feed you before being released .

Maybe you could try something like this?

My thoughts exactly.

Before I clicked the link I knew where it was going…

Yep.

Found a box of Gepe slide mounts in a charity shop, 30+ in a box for 20, for less than £3.

Another thing for my children to take to the charity shop when I peg it.

Sunday gone means "Sunday" is the one coming, they can't take a booking for a day that's gone. Whereas "next Sunday" is nearly two weeks away.

Easy when you think about it.

EH? Now that really bamboozles me.

My lazy day didn't last long. I adjusted the shower screen seal that I fitted yesterday!

Another dreich damp day. Lots to do inside if only I could get round to doing anything.
Diesel yesterday was 189.9 when I topped up the car for my next trip.
The local landowner Glengorm Castle and farm are doing their bit for the community by changing some of their holiday houses to long term lets and are converting an old barn into 5 new houses for long term ie local rent. The only problem is they are 5 miles out of town on a road which is not so far gritted in winter.
The owner is popular locally and was a pupil at the local primary school when my wife was teaching.

And I've dead-headed the petunias & mimulus..
I think I deserve a coffee, now.

Good morning. Just had "Marmite toast and a bike video" with Tinybug.

Your iron levels getting a bit low were they. As for the video, case an'all?

Now you're changing the conditions.

I'd have to pack my bag anyway, and I'd have to walk up the steps out of my apartment anyway, and carrying the bike may take +30 seconds. The bike lives in the workshop at work, or chained to the bike rack outside, so it would also add +30 seconds, perhaps.

Google reckons it take 3 mins cycling or 11 mins walking, so I'd still be six minutes ahead if I ride.

Also, I could ride back for lunch, or make a small detour to get groceries on the return (6 min total, or 24 min walking)

Also, I get to ride my bike.

Inciidentally, on Monday and Tuesday I'm still riding 10k each way for the foreseeable future because I'm the reserve manager for another shop...

Went for a bike ride with a small person, although we discovered the town has swiitched on the water for the sandpit in the next village so most of the time was spent making a quite extensive canal system...
