Ooooh, the Vicar of Dibley!

I've cycled in and around Turville, where the V of D was filmed 😁

We're off to the Wild & Wooly motorbike scramble this morning 👌

Lance ?

Belated holiday greetings to all. I've been away from the forum for too long. Challenging couple of years, changed my job, father passed on, etc etc. Anyway, I'm still here and still cycling!

Not like this, no. We're waiting on the results of a CT scan. It looks like he'd over-heated and was dehydrated. No alcohol involved.

Hope he’s ok

Sad to hear your father passed away .
I hope your job is a good one that you enjoy.

Morning.
I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and that DC's son turns out okay.
It rained here yesterday up until late afternoon . Today looks to be drier at the moment, we have some clear sky with some cloud to the South .
It looks like a trip to Swindon for grandson's birthday later.

Clear blue skies
Tea is brewing
Wanted a ride this morning before the family day starts but didn't wake up in time

We popped up to see my daughter and our grandkids in the morning . When we arrived I noticed a nice dent in their rear door . I assumed that she had skidded on some ice and thought it looked nice for a pull with a sucker . It turns out that her other half was on the outside of a roundabout indicting to turn off when a young woman on the inside crashed into him spinning him round at right angles! He indicated to her to pull over into a garage where they could exchange details and she drove off! He chased after her and caught up with her where she refused to exchange details until her mother arrived . SIL said that he would call the police . It is now with the insurance .

First cuppa went down well

Mechanical watches are marvelous pieces of engineering on a very small scale . It's a shame that they are often hidden away inside a metal case . Skeleton watches come into fashion now and then , I have a couple from 2 phases, 1930's and 80's, trouble is is that the interiors aren't finished to the standard of conventional watches. Just think ! They have tiny gears whirring away just like your bikes !

Knew a coach driver who also owned a small passenger aircraft and the pilots license to fly it.

He unloaded the cases from the coach, onto the aircraft, then joined the passengers onboard. He got "more irritated" and vocal as time went on and the pilot not appearing. Saying what he'd be doing if they didn't show soon. He left his seat, made his way to the cockpit and proceeded to taxi to the runway.

He never saw the faces, but said the quietness was deafening in the cabin.

I have heard the same story but it was for a flight Inverness to Kirkwall.
The bus story I know to be true because I was actually there on one occasion it happened.

The mornings seem to be getting darker rather than lighter.
Heavy hail shower battering on my kitchen window while I was having breakfast but too dark to see anything outside.
Should I hope soon melt. I had reckoned on taking the car out this morning but having a rethink now.
The gritting lorry came past on Christmas day but not been much traffic to shift any hail on the road.

Blood pressure of 104 / 68 today. Happy with those numbers. Should have seen what they were when I had Covid, but didn’t think of it.
