Our new broadband provider has activated our service! Lockdown must be getting to me as I've never been so excited! :hyper:

And wow! ^_^ What speed! How fast?! I say that, but as the service has only just come online it's still stabilising and should double in speed over the next week! :eek: Click a link and boom! It's on screen, fully loaded! Wow! It probably goes to show how slow our old broadband service was. How did we ever manage with dial-up?! :wacko:

I'm amazed really that it's come online so early in the day. Every time we've changed provider before, the service hasn't been activated until late evening. Not complaining though! It's great to have it up and running! ^_^

Just to keep you informed about side effects of the Oxford jab.I had mine on Sunday,and I have noticed a change myself.I now wear highly polished brown brogues,cream coloured slacks,a cravat and crisp white shirt and a very nice blazer.And I have an uncomfortable urge to go out punting along the local canal,is this normal.plus this straw boater I am wearing makes me look quite dishy.

I remember dial up, used to love the way it sung to me as it connected.

Just took a late lunch. Took the refurbished Ribble 653 out for a quick 10 miles. It's also the first road bike ride locally that I've done in Five years (rode my other bike in Wales in summer). I'm somewhat nervous near side roads when cars are approaching them, but that's understandable.

The bike was lovely and smooth, and just felt so weird having mainly ridden MTB's in the last 5 years.

Are you referring to Wales when you mention side roads? In my experience driving in Wales side roads always thought they had priority. Gave me quite a few frights till I realised this.

No, just side roads in general - it stems from when the blind driver side swiped me, and smashed up my spine. Just 'nervous' of drivers actions. Plus I'm getting used to a very twitchy 'race' road bike.

Bright and breezy here chez Casa Reynard today. Mostly,. Guess what. It's raining again...

Anyways, I ran some errands for me and the parental unit this morning, and this afternoon I did the usual odd jobs around the house. In return, mum darned the seat of my favourite onesie, as the seam on my arse split last night. :blush:

Also did a little on my modelling project.

And the crock pot is locked and loaded with a chilli for tonight. :hungry:
