Just a regular brown one, though I do have half a red one as well...totally 'core!

What's on the menu now you've an onion you didn't have.

Well, that curry was surprisingly good given the somewhat unexpected selection of veggies; turnip, parsnip, carrot, celery, green beans and cannellini beans. Mind, the tikka masala sauce was made from scratch. Pilau rice and poppadoms on the side.

Been doing a little late night scrapbooking to help take the mind off things. Archive meet birthday present, birthday present meet archive...

Anyways, then bed.

Sorry but the thought of a 50+ man wearing those is quite a funny thought

Good morning folks. I have tea and a snoring Winnie by my side.

Good morning people, I've been awake since half four, bike ride later.

Morning.
It is a sunny start here. There doesn't appear to be as much frost as yesterday , the cars are clear of frost but the back lawn looks frosty .
Feeling a bit sore in places and have a lovely purple bruise on my inner thigh .
It was lovely seeing that Kingfisher yesterday. I first heard a whistle and thought that it sounded like one and as I went to look over the side of the bridge it flew off down the river .

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead."

Thanks for all .your hugs .
I'm fine , just a bit sore . I suppose it's my pride that has taken the biggest hit . Falling off at a slow speed due to a simple thing .
Why I didn't get any warning of the problem annoys me the most .

 

[Illaveago]

Oh ! One other point I would like to make is that I wasn't aerodynamic and was wearing jeans, and a pullover underneath my Aldi cycling jacket which only has a small abrasion on the sleeve where my elbow was . Oh and leather motorcycle gloves .

Morning world all good here and we have our rainbow on display .
First 🍵 done just going for a cuddle then it's time to get up .

 

[biggs682]

Ouch ! That hurt .
"Look what all those negative waves have done Moriarty!"
My wife has been saying not to have an accident .
I was starting off on a gradient and standing on the pedals to power away when all of a sudden the left hand pedal fell off ! No warning ! Just a sudden Ooh! Crash bang bouncy bouncy ouchy hurt!
My crash helmet hit the ground with a bang with my head in it . I got up quickly and looked to see what had happened and saw the pedal was missing . It was lying in the road a few yards away. A woman walking by stopped to ask if I was alright . I said that I was fine . Mainly embarrassed that I had witnesses to see me fall off .
I picked up my bike , collected the pedal and tried to put it back on . It wouldn't go back on as the thread needed cleaning out . I tried to cycle back using just the one pedal but discovered that the bars were loose . I walked to a park bench and called for a breakdown . She was just about to go and do some gardening .
I have a graze on my left elbow and a bruise the size of an egg on the inside of my right thigh .
On the Plus side I saw a Kingfisher at Reybridge. Seeing that bright blue bird flying along the river was worth the pain .

Ouch hope the bruises are ok today . Roadside repair is to find a branch and push that into pedal hole and use that seen it done a few times

They are hideous and shouldn’t be seen in public by anyone anywhere ever.
