All set for when Mrs 73 get's up
Her birthday is extra special not because of her age. But it also marks the day her updated pin number came.
So it was the 1st time she officially went on shift as a fully registered Nurse.

Happy 73rd birthday Mrs Tom


(or something like that)

Happy Cake Day @Jenkins

Er - thanks, but that was just over a couple of months ago.

Do you mean Mrs @tom73 or have you found 20p and having a go at time travel?

After the week I've had I needed a day like today. Woke up earlyish and just laid in bed listening to the radio until I couldn't ignore my bladder any longer. A large mug of coffee to refil the empty space followed as did a glass of squash, breakfast and another coffee while I waited for the Sisters tickets to go on sale. Ticket secured and an unexpectedly cheap hotel room secured and then off on a long loop into town to replenish the breakfast cereal stock. Home, toast and another cuppa and then back out to Ipswich for the collection from Halfords and Sainsburys where a couple of bottles of Halo wash were purchased.

It was a lovely sunny day, but there was a keen south easterly breeze so, rather than battle the wind homewards, I kept on into Westerfield in order to get the train home - and missed it by a couple of minutes. With an hour to spare I popped into the Railway pub next to the station only to find Adnams Ghost Ship on draft so missed the next train an hour later and only just made the one after that

Got outbid by a couple of quid
Still raining , could be a damp under tyres ride tomorrow am

I thought I'd lost it due to some hidden reserve, but got a message to 'pay' for it.

A Colnago is coming to the stable.

PS it's a 2011 Cross bike, only alloy with carbon forks and 105, but the price was right for a used bike. Wanted canti's as I have wheels to fit.

Ooops! Must've misread what you posted last night.

Wish I had some extra 20p bits to stick in the machine. Then I could travel back to 1983 and do part of my research the easy way instead of trying to find the proverbial needle in a whole field of haystacks. Should I bump into a particular racing driver, I shall threaten to toast his figgin in a bid to get the answers

Right time to go for a ride

I bet they are all sold

I don't know ! I've got my eye on one . If I can get a copy of the next month's magazine I'll see if they lowered the price .

Had a lovely luncheon of a sandwich filled with Polish sausage, plus an apple, some strawberries, some blueberries, half an avocado and the obligatory two

Spent the afternoon working on the research and watching the horse racing from Aintree. A horse that a friend has a share in finished second in his race.

Now just having a nice quiet evening as I don't need to cook today.

That was a big sandwich!

Absolutely chucking it down outside but forecast says a good day looms so a nice breakfast in bed before starting the day.

Morning.
There is watery sunshine here at the moment . There must be some thin cloud on the horizon . The rest of the sky is blue with a few small clouds around .
We went to a quiz night in the town hall last night held by the Wilts and Berks Canal Trust. I went along with my wife to help with the numbers for her team. It took a while for my foggy head to get working . I didn't do too badly on British history and did very well on British birds . We did appallingly badly on Eurovision ! Countries shouldn't use artists from other countries to play for them ! It threw us completely!

 

[Illaveago]

I don't think I had better go for a ride today as I was away with the fairies yesterday. Mowing our back lawn and stripping down a bike after a 15 mile ride with my friends over did it !

 

[biggs682]

Morning back from a damp under the tyres ride only 20 miles as a busy day ahead.
Not actually raining now but some big puddles.
Garden birds have been fed first arrival was a magpie that got spooked by a blackbird.
First cuppa went down well

Right time to go for a ride
It's not raining

I've got two cars to wash, some floor to level out (where we removed a wall for MrsF's sewing corner) and only then can I 'sneak off' to pick up my new to me bike.

Never paid £25 trade for a pr of wiper blades in my whole life but then never had to buy a pr for a Skoda before and won't be doing again
