Mundane News

I don't often add family details but my son's staying with his current team for 2021, moving to their Junior Men's team as a 3rd cat rider after very few points-scoring races were held in 2020. He's the thin one in the middle - the photo isn't squashed!

Glad that 2021 has kicked off with some very mundane tv. I am currently watching 'The Masked Singer', what on God's good earth is that all about?
Celeb hysteria cranked to new levels, but oddly watchable.

Doesn't everything?

Bad luck before 12th night, mind it's bad to put them up before Christmas Eve too..

The pedal bearing collapsed on my Rudge today. It's only 69 years old. They don't build things to last these days

Broken pedal? I'll bet you've been using it. That severely shortens the lifespan you know.

Back from Tesco, and now watching MOTD and having avocado on toast, pork pie and a

The counters weren't open (booooooooo) and there wasn't much fruit and veg - although I got first dibs by being observant. Lots of chilled stuff though.

Came home with cooked chicken, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, fresh tuna, prawn cocktails, turkey stock, cranberry sauce, tomatoes, potatoes, raspberries, two fruit loaves and two boxes of little chocolate cake things. Oh, and 60 Christmas cards with cats on them.

Thanks, I was well looked after. My daughter decided to wrap up a bottle of whisky as a comedy shaped present.
