Today's 73 plate truck has 450980 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Acocks Green & soon to Wellingborough & Thrapston..

I'll wave at @biggs682 if I see him wobbling along the road 😋

Sneak up behind him and give him a loud blast on your horn. That should wake him up!

Don't think I saw you @PeteXXX as today's route was across to Horton , Harpole, Gayhurst, Olney, Yardley Hastings,Grendon,Wilby and home.

A total of 47 miles.
First cuppa brewing
Overcast but dry

Nope... Most of those roads are 7. 5 ton weight limits so I'd be 36.5 tonnes overweight for them .. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure it would some days

Good morning from Suffolk where it's been another morning under a blanket of grey cloud, this time after a slightly misty start. Coffee and a lie in with the radio in the background have been had.

Another quiet day ahead - I've got to go food shopping for tomorrow's day out and then sort out the car including putting a bike in the boot of the car so that I can get around at Silverstone. Don't fancy all that faffing around first thing on Sunday.

Pre lunchtime long walk around the block and pick up a newspaper completed.

Contemplating getting the lawnmower out 🤔

Just had my flu jab, so I will be taking it easy for the rest of the weekend.

What brand of hot chocolate powder do peeps on here like to drink?

Friday's 'trial run' went well. Sunny most of the day, loaded up at Merv's Hot Bread Kitchen & the discount stall on the market - !
Said stall had an unusual item for sale; a 7.5kg. Toblerone bar for £50 - !
As a 750gm. bar is around £20, that IS good value. The manny on the stall recommended 'mechanical means' to break it up, Probably meant a meat cleaver - !
Already a bit overloaded with other goodies, couldn't risk the extra weight, but maybe another time - !

I stopped at Taunton Deane services on the M5 Northbound this afternoon. It's grim. I thought it might be some kind of clever ironic art installation.

It was used to train East German architects.

Lawns have been trimmed as has my hair

Greene thingie... I'll check when I'm next in the kitchen.
Usually for Saturday afternoon review with Cook. But she is doing curtains. Can't imagine it. They'll have lumps and taste like .......
She's a rubbish cook but been here so long can't fire her. She sort of came with the property......along with bad drains, a spot of leaky roof and the holes in the drive
Oh what fun to hire a young enthusiastic, maybe pretty, cook... What's more important, nice legs or decent cream anglaise?
Oh dear, I've woken up ........

Um..340g ones are typically £6 and currently £4.48 in Asda.
Sunny day, washing out, lawns cut, and wood filled a rotting fence horizontal.
Then realised I hadn't switched off the washer spur and as I did the earth leakage breaker tripped. Seems that the switch has to pressed dead centre for that not to happen. The "fuse" box is at the back of a cupboard under the stairs always needing an excavation to reach it. Knocked a tray of lightbulbs over and found my long missing, assumed fallen in a recycling bag, font bike light

I have an interesting, untouched, 18 year old to share with my mate at the weekend.

That's a whisky, you mucky minded lot...
