Mine were, too, a couple of days ago so I cleaned them this morning.

What a good idea,Perhaps it stop me bumping into objects and being unable to find the house on returning from a ride,

GP has referred me to audiology, physio and dermatology so far. At least at present that is as far as Oban and not that h---hole Paisley. I can get as far as St James interchange on the M8 but after that is bandit country and the hospital is not straightforward to get to. In addition they have hidden all the direction signs behind bushes or other obstructions. At least they had on my last trip there about 10 years ago and I doubt things have improved.
Confusion in Calmac office.
"Can you do me a booking off next Sunday but can't remember the date?"
"So that will be 26th then"
Can't be as today is 13th"
Eventually we came to agreement that it is Sunday coming I want. Next Sunday seems to have different meaning for them
Got booked no problem as I worked out that holiday homes change on Saturdays so no rush midweek and the same coming back.
At least I know the girl behind the desk and we had a laugh about the confusion.

Oh! You won't like Escape to the Country today !

Yesterday I arrived at the Wild Beer taproom in Bristol at 4.15 to discover that they shut at 4. So I thought I'd better get there earlier. Anyhow, I now discover that today they *open* at 4.

As I while away the minutes, an 🐜 is climbing up my beer glass.

removing some old wallpaper .

Apparently, when one of my aunts, now long deceased, moved into a house during WW2, she had to strip no less than eleven layers of paper from the walls in the hallway - !

A lovely six mile round trip to the local agricultural engineering place in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres.

The steering arm has turned up. Yay! Although they've now lost the retaining pin, so while I can reassemble the steering, I can't use the mower until I get a new pin. At least they're going to replace it FoC.

Now sat down with a post-ride and a biskit.

You said it, not me!

I only get male neighbours offering to help themselves to my firewood in return for wielding a chainsaw less well than I can...
