That's not a dragonfly... it's the Punc*ure Fairy in disguise!

You're right! I hadn't noticed it had eaten a whole tyre.

I always get the oldest bloody rooms....

I didn't know that Flagondries were such cycling fans.

Here is one taking a close look at my wheels. View attachment 370728

Great picture!

No rain in Winchester..... Yet. I'm going to do some hoovering and ironing this morning. They'd had the cleaner in before I came so there's not much to do. At least my dad is a very meticulous tidy person.
No sign of my mum being able to come home after her hip op. She is having problems with low blood pressure which drops like a stone when she stands up so she can't mobilise yet .
I've been enjoying cycling around the #memory lanes and some new ones. I bought some lights from Hlfords yesterday and went for an evening ride but I'd forgotten how dark unlit roads are, oops, so I had to go a bit slower. It was quite an adventure. I enjoyed the quiet, the rabbits, bats and owls, but it was a bit foolish really.

I like the Tissington Trail. Nothing to do with it being flat obviously

Oh, is it? I hadn't realised
I dare say the High Peak Trail is kinda flat too. And the Monsal Trail starts at Bakewell, so it would be rude not to try the local tarts.

I wanted to try the local Grantham tarts last night but @Hill Wimp warned me it might be an expensive night out....

We now have a Smart Meter, don't know how we managed before with only the stupid meter

Well if it was good enough for Edward I, then it's good enough for me...

It's pouring with rain here.

The car is fixed and ready to pick up. I will snag a lift to the village later from my neighbour.

My son just brought this to my attention http://www.puddingclub.com/pudding-club-meetings

In other news, Coventry is a bit damp this morning, it's also dull grey and cool, a total contrast to Monday's hot sunny day.

We belong to a Dining Club. Rather delischdelisch

Another rat to dispose of this morning. 3 and counting

In other news - Ivan has developed a taste for layers pellets. Hope he isn't going to start laying eggs

Either Sasha or her boyfriend Marshall who inhabit the car port have left a mouse lying about. Thankfully they thought about their house slaves and didn't bring them inside.

Tasha is quietly recuperating. So am I.

Call me old-fashioned, if you will. But, at the top of my screen on start-up there is a "Tap and say... blah blah...." This morning's was "ask the computer how many centimetres are in 172 inches. I do not need a puter to work that out, nor even a pen and paper. Forty inches is one metre, forty goes into 172 four times, with 12 left over. 12 inches is 30 cms, so that is 430 cms. Is mental arithmetric too difficult for people today or is that a hard sum?

I am not expecting peeps to work out quadratic equations in their head, but basic sums should be doable, with pen and paper if necessary.

The Tissington isn't flat, it climbs all the way from Ashbourne.

The bit at the bottom by the river and the stones is.
