I'm totally useless with houseplants... Poppy has helped me get rid of most of them by peeing in the pots.

On the other hand, I have a large pot with an avocado sapling that sprouted randomly in my compost bin.

My Spider plants having babies again, the small plant in front is from last year.

Laura Trott has just posted a rather wonderful picture on Facebook.

It's a brilliant picture, just seen on instagram.

I did have the jab but I wasn't convinced that it was given properly as some of it squirted out during the injection. I used to suffer from asthma as a kid but luckily I seem to have grown out of it. My major allergy is to house dust mite particularly in damp rooms. Luckily there are none of those allergens here!!

Ah ... I could remember there was a problem with a rug....

Are dust mites connected with damp rooms or that the two things combined together are particularly irritating for you?

Morning, I think my cold is benefiting from all of the vitamins that I am taking. I'll be going back to bed for a nap nap soon.

You don't see spider plants much these days, I inherited a load from my mother when she died, kept them for years. It didn't matter what I did to them they kept blumen growing. One day I got sick of the sight of them and chucked them all in the bin.

It's bleedin' miserable this one, isn't it? It seems to only strike down the fittest cyclists among us.

To change the subject, how are you settling in?

Any chance of sharing it here for the benefit of those that don't have InstaYouTwitFace?

That one cost me fifty pence from Coventry's Godiva Festival a few years ago, when I brought it it was about the size of the small one in the picture.

I went out and cooked another lovely fish supper for the both of us last night.

Not exactly the same, but you will be relieved to know that I have my hook with me today.

Yes, we are getting there, thanks!! We brought nearly 50 boxes of books with us (some of them mine and most of them Mrs R's) and we've discovered that we've got no bookshelf space in the new house. So they are piled up in their boxes in the front room. We've also got a guy coming in part time doing some decorating - he'll be finished in a couple of weeks. He's doing a much better job than I could. I'm just waiting to feel better and then I can get out an explore some new rides. Hopefully that'll be in the next few days.

Sounds good, apart from the cold, what are the roads like by you? Have you got some little lanes to explore? I don't get much further south than Banbury, and then rarely these days, but there's some lovely lanes round there, though it can get a bit lumpy.

I've still got flu

Thats good.
I mean that's good that it was not your house that exploded in Oxford then....

Are you in an area that you knew from previous visits or new to you completely? My visits to Oxford last year it seemed a nice place and the countryside wasn't that far away in any direction. Together with what seemed a pretty tolerant set of drivers as some of the younger cyclists did mad things, should be good for future cycle outings!
