Right, as soon as the cycling's finished, I'm popping out to Wilkinsons and Tesco.

Morning all. It's my mother's 90th birthday today so there'll be a lot of food and fuss. Now, can I go to a lunch party in a fairly posh hotel in shorts and sandals or would being uncomfortable in long trousers be the done thing?

Happy birthday to MamaMarmoset 🎂

Answers please.

n + 1, where n is the number of gravy pouches that you bought.

I'm back !
It has been a long day not helped by a sat have going daft around the 3Mile Cross Swallowfield area. It kept on wanting to take us back west again . I told my brother to ignore it whilst I used a map . We eventually found the M3 and headed for the M 25. We eventually ended up near Dartford where my brother picked up his bike . A lovely modern classic style Holdsworth Cyclone .
It has been a long day . We set off just after 8 and got back half hour ago .

Took a day trip to Bath today with the Mister and left the pop up tent open but not pegged in the garden for the cats, who like to snooze in it. Got back to find an upside down tent containing a really cross kitty

Took a Bath today with the Mister

So am i reading this right you and Mister Hebe spent the day in the bath ???

What I found really infuriating was the lack of signposts where we were lost so that we could find the M3. We had the sun to locate South and we knew the direction we came from , but there weren't any signs at the road junctions! Don't they know the war ended in 1945 ? . We have a signpost here which tells you how far it is to Poole in Dorset ! . 60+ miles away !

Here is the bike.
I think it was worth the trip.

Maybe a simple maths test devised by me.

Like this?

Something akin to that, only a local, to me, version.

You been wearing tight fitting shoes?

There was a story on my Facebook feed a little while ago, it was about a bloke who wasn't allowed to wear shorts at work, he turned up one morning in a Kilt.

I used to wear a kilt to work if we were having visitors to the distillery and I once featured as an extra in a fashion shoot.
Later I wore a kilt to trade shows, even to ones in Wales as that was also a work event.

That's the previous owner's foot .

Got out on trike but too much traffic and the first hassle I have had so far while on the trike. Not vehicles I have seen before so either touroid or recent white settlers some of whom are quite unpleasant individuals. The only hassle I got on two wheels also came from tourists
People keep losing things like phones, credit/debit cards, binoculars, specs, wallets, backpacks, jewellery and in fact anything at all seems to get left somewhere unknown to the owner. These are all tourists again and you would imagine people would take care of their own property but it seems not possible for them.
As an aside a local tortoise made a break for freedom and got nearly a mile away before getting caught.
On Orkney local radio it is usually missing cats but we like to be different here.

Recently returned from a very warm Ely Folk Festival and now the GLW has decided that we need a tent that she can stand up and walk around in - !
Thus now researching four berth 'family tents', most of which are the size of a small aircraft hangar - !
