Daughter & I were recently discussing how surprising it is the volume cats feet can make. cuz they are so small

And yet, they can move silently if they so choose.

Well, both girls are currently zonked out in their respective armchairs.

I am relegated to the footstool.

Late night footling about on the Bay of E has just resulted in me repatriating another piece of Paul Warwick memorabilia. From Belgium, this time...

I need a after that...

Morning all, it is cold outside and about to get much colder. So typically, a group of us are going out on our bikes with our kids. I have no doubt my own kids will be moaning. Oh joy. All should be fine once we get going. The cold may encourage all to pedal faster

 

[DCLane]

But... don't you have a Dawes Kingpin already?

Yes, although only half a one as it's shared with my son. It's partially re-built and in progress.

Now we can have one each

Anyway, all set up and off to the first race of the year for my son. In April! It's snowing outside and it's a TT !

I'll rest easier knowing I don't have book face, 500 million various personal details leaked.

Don't tell them your name Pike !

Morning.
It looks grey and blowy out this morning .
Georgie was desperate to go outside this morning so I opened up the cat flap and he shot out . He was straight back in as though he was on elastic ! I don't know what frightened him but he kept an eye on the cat flap from the safe distance of the kitchen .
By mid afternoon the cold wind had eased off and I managed to take my Dawes out for another test ride, just over 7 miles. I didn't want to go too far as my legs have been a bit achy .

It's a bit sleety here in Hamtun..

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

It's dry hereabouts. In contrast, the wind is vicious. It also blew bits of my recycling up the road as I emptied the bag into the big green bin outside. I managed to get most of it back but there is a sheet of brown paper currently heading in a southerly direction.

The big green bin was very full with a notable presence of wine bottles. Resurrecting Jesus is thirsty work.

[Andy in Germany]

Trying to relax a bit today; Middle Son has to go to a job interview near Dortmund tomorrow, about 450k north of here, and as he's under 18 I have to go with him. As far as we know we're allowed to because it's "work related travel". We come back to Stuttgart the day after, on Thursday I have to travel back to Freiburg and on Friday I'll be getting Corona jab #1.

I've just had a kitten tunneling under the bed clothes!

Biggs I could look this up using the usual search engine but I want you to explain what is in that image, where it appeared from and where it went to after your interaction with it.

Well we don't have them locally but our Granddaughters local Co-op have just introduced them and whilst we over that way walking with her yesterday we saw this one out and about .

Aprox 18"-24" square wheel in each corner with enough room inside for a bag of shopping easily , not sure on the cost to you the customer for having a delivery .

It took a while to get across a very busy junction but it managed .... its the future

I remember seeing them being trialled a few years ago. Someone had to tail them to make sure that they didn't do anything dangerous or stupid. Crossing roads looked like it was a challenge....
