Mundane News

Feeling a bit better now having a rest after my 7 mile cycle ride. The ride out was into a headwind but the ride back was a lot easier being downhill as well.

My wife has just been trying to show me how to share some pictures that I took on my phone. Isn't it amazing how they can just disappear off into the ether.

A very mundane JD & coke on our balcony waiting for the restaurant to open at 7. The 6 miniscule pieces of bread eaten today are not doing a good job of absorbing alcohol

Funny how the subject is wine and cider. I had a day off today as the wife had booked us a tour of a vineyard.

Wroxeter is one of the few places that used to be very large, (up to a population of 15000 is the current estimate) in Roman times but is now tiny. There is a vineyard that makes the most of a microclimate to make some rather good wines.

We now have a box or two to sample including some local cider.

Are you in Manchester?

I have just had a look. It does look lovely yarn. Many thanks.

If you are planning to refresh your knitting skills in the winter months, can I make a gentle suggestion that you choose a light coloured yarn. I think you are the same age or thereabouts as I am. I find it difficult to count stitches etc using dark wool and under artificial light. So I use a dark yarn that I like in the summer, and a lighter one in the winter. Just my two (old) penny worth.

Yes. I noticed that as well. Luckily i have some light pink yarn to pratcise with. The old eyes arn't what they used to be.

What part of Portugal are you in? We're going out there in a couple of weeks, looking forward to it

Walking past Boots the chemist this afternoon, had a sign in the window reminding me that it's this time of year again for a flu jab.

Looks like Beckton to me.

Can't be, there's no ski slope

This afternoon's mundane photograph from some hill just north of Brighton....

We're not doing it on the FNRttC. I was out for a ride, about ten miles north & wanted to avoid getting stuck in Brighton for a while- or fighting my way along the coast to Worthing in an epic headwind- thanks to Southern's evening bike ban from Brighton. So, plans to carry on east for a ton curtailed, and a nice gentle slog up the Beacon it was!

There's nothing wrong with my observations skills, and seeing things in daylight.

Also, "I am older and I have more insurance" Who knows which film that is from?

Also @welsh dragon - Do you use Pinterest?

I do, and i have found lots ot fantastic knitting patterns that look easy enough for even me to get to grips with.

I've had a great yoga class this morning, I'm back at Woodside, I had tried a class closer to home to cut back on the driving but it didn't suite so I'm back in the class I've been doing for the last eighteen months. Pelvic curls and hip twists this morning, also sideways cat, I'm used to normal cat but can't remember doing the sideways one before.

I sympathise. First Pilates class for 2 months last night and I'm really achy today. The teacher was away when I was here and vice versa.

I'm being very metrosexual and having a glass of rosé with my lunch...

Now's who's stereotyping?

Back from the physio, been prodded and poked, knee turned this way and that.

They think it's nothing too serious and should start getting better fairly soon, bit of rest and some gentle exercise will help.

He even mentioned I should go for a bike ride

Might be a bit intermittent on here for a while - things to do etc. See y'all the other side xxx

Continuing with the rosé theme...

a cheeky Kriek and a coffee before I head back for a pre-dinner nap.

That's more like it. That's the kind of of rosé that I like.
