I just found this on Ebay.
If only I had the money for it....

[Night Train]

I just stepped outside to take some measurements from my Land Rover axle. While I was out there a BMW pulls up outside my gates and the driver just sits there, engine running, stereo on.
I take a slow walk out to my gates and he avoids eye contact and turns his stereo up. He then sniffs his arm pits and spits out the window towards my house.

Then a car arrives at speed and parks in next door's drive and the neighbour steps out and heads over to get in the BMW. The driver says to him: 'That bloke keeps staring at me!'
The neighbour waves acknowledgement at me, and I say 'hello!' to him.

The BMW then wheel spins off and screeches off onto the main road.

When I was walking back from the GP this morning I had to stop for a moment on the pavement due to the pain. A moment later I was nearly knocked over by a chap on a bike on the pavement.

Crossing the road I am a little slow and sometimes the crossing lights turn to amber before I am fully across. At two crossings, one at a pelican and the other at traffic lights, the drivers decide to drive around me rather then wait for me to get to the pavement.

I like animals, never met one that wasn't nice.

I used to have a pig who was on the other end of the scale to "nice".

Trying to decide whether or not to cycle into town this evening to do some shopping. The cupboards are ever so slightly bare...

Since I was last on here I was admiitted to hospital on Friday with suspected blood poisoning after a day vomiting, which they then decided was appendicitis and took me down to surgery at 4pm on Saturday. Back on the ward at 9pm and discharged at 1pm on Sunday!!! The surgeon came to see me to tell me my appendix had been tagged to my large intestine by a fat tag which has probably been there for years but had contracted during weight loss causing it to start to tear... luckily it didn't rip or things would have got very serious very fast.... So, dieting isn't always a good thing, though I went in at 91kgs and now weigh 87kg!

Spent the time since in bed feeling wobbly but up today with a sore abdomen.... The RVI in Newcastle id fantastic and I love them to bits! Mrs A+T's been a star.

Yikes! GWS!

I was good and cooked dinner as soon as I got in, to avoid snackage.

Now, I'll just snack later....

Oh, and of course,

Probably knew where he was going to end up

Probably knew where he was going to end up

And probably ate slugs to taint the taste of the bacon too!

Or re"name" them after the OS map numbers.

Anyone want a ? I've just had a long wallow in the bath. After three days of walking up the Malvern Hills, Long Mynd and the Stipperstones, my muscles are letting themselves be heard loud and clear. It turns out that the muscles you use for walking are not the same as the ones you use for cycling.

I like, but being slightly pedantic it's Stiperstones not Stipperstones. It grates slightly when I hear people pronouncing it stipper instead of styper.
[pedant mode off]. You enjoyed this part of the world then?

You are taking the p......

Badum, tish.

Sounds quite scary. I'm glad it was caught in time!

And yes, absolutely loved it. You live in a beautiful part of the country.

Yeah, I know. Oddly I've never cycled around the Stiperstones, I'll have to rectify that. I do go over the Long Mynd regularly though - which bit did you walk up?

 

[TheDoctor]

I've posted this in the Doctor Who thread, but I'm sure there's people over here who'd like it.
I shall now go and make something that's almost, but not entirely, unlike Tea.

Up from Church Stretton to Devil's Mouth and meandered around the footpaths on the top - I've no idea what route we took while we were up there, but we did find the trig point. We there on Saturday and the sun didn't break through the clouds until we were back at the holiday cottage, but the mist just added extra atmosphere.
