Tea?

Sounds about right, but a well weilded scythe outreaches a strimmer any day. He'll probably hav never come across one in use.
Very little like that here. Main roads for everything, although there is talk of reopening an old viaduct for similar purposes. Decent views up and down the valley from it to boot.
Be careful with yer offers nowadays...

Possible, but they'd win. They made it this far, so far we've not got very far, in the grand scheme of things.
Nah, it's blustering ways wouldn't work. And I don't think there'd be much mind reading to be done, if they're telepathic.
Order the deportation of illegal aliens...

Win?
Remember the movies, Independence Day? Mars Attacks? even War of the Worlds?
Nay chance......

I watched this last night. look out for the custom-made cycle track...



Just thought 'WOW', up there with the Amalfi Coast one.. one

That was then, this could be now. Look at who thinks their in charge these days.
War of the Worlds, wasn't it the common cold that won then?
We've nay chance...

Looks good, when you thinking of doing it?

Looks as though you should have no problems with it. Long flat roads, no steep ascents/descents. And plenty of water to cool off in right alongside. Should you get too warm.

Not catching me over there...
After seeing Easy Rider(6 nights in a row), I promised I'd do the cross-country trip...
I at least got the motorbike, I did a coast to coast (Scotland),
Okay, it wasn't the states but.....
It looks superb and even a drive would be cool, bloke does a lot of canyon drives and some are so scary.
IF I recover and get an e-bike, a cross-border CTC could be possible, but maybe I'm pushing it
It was planned for 2020, so were a few trips....
Yon cycle path they use in the Milan - San Remo looks so good.
Oh, and I don't fly....

Why not?
Did the plot change any night... Promised who, yerself or someone else.
You still go the motorbike then. At it's narrowest part!
Still a coast to coast, that's what counts.
Can you drive though, seeing as though you wanna drive. Or will Mrs M be yer chauffer.
Could you convert Polly whilst you can't ride. Ready for yer cross border CTC...
I'd say a lot of plans made for 2020 went up in smoke, not just yours.
You could always cycle there.

I asked for another motorbike recently...
WOW, one word answer, no......
I can see her point....

I don't have a car licence...
m/bike, aye..

Thought about a Polly conversion, but see too many folk with problems, save the grief, I'll buy one (if this heals).
I've had enough, nursey tomorrow.....

Maybe she's got you one for Christmas, doesn’t want you buying one..
Did you tell her she'd be able to sit in the sidecar?
Money spent on petrol, keeping it running. Money she could use chauffeuring you around.

There's a few round here can't drive either. Some have even passed a driving test. How is a mystery.
Don't need a car one for a motorbike, do you...

New rear wheel and a battery pack, plus controller and charger.
It'll heal. You hear that...
Thought you saw the nurses on Monday's and Thursday's...
Best o'luck when they remove the current dressing.

Good Afters
after a busy morning..
Later appointment, then it was the arrival of Storm Toodles.....
Chaos ensued..

Nurse says 'Clean it like you mean it' makes me shiver
I got Decs appointments and all over the place because of the hols...
so they must be looking for me going into the New Year, yikes....

If I mentioned sidecar, I'd be wearing it...
M/bike days are over.....
If and when this ankle thing heals, e-bike hopefully.

6.8 mm but steady light rain....

Owdo up there
Feet up, taking it easy.
Not the early one you were expecting then? On her own, or were the pair there.
As to be expected, you need to show them who's the boss... withhold the goodies drawer. That sorta thing.

That their approach to it when you go?
There'll be ten days when appointments will be even harder get, plus they'll be saving time for emergencies.

Nah, unless she were to throw you in it. I doubt she'd be able to lift it on here own...
For now...
When it heals! E-bike, yer not that bad yet, are you...

Light rain, more of a mist than owt else though.

Another CME due to hit anytime soon I see.

Rest ? in the middle of the day?
Nap time , aye..
Only a brave man would try that....

I'm all set for December...
by the end that'll be into the fourth month of this....
Hopefully it'll heal by then.

I'm 72, a big lad, I'm not fit..
E-bike could be a return to some longer routes, a wee help occasionally.
I'll see.

Light? it got pretty heavy at times here with 21.3 mm on the dial.
Apparently it's setting in next week, so I'm told...

It's the top the sun 11 year cycle so the ole current bun is more active, I got two emails about storms and possibly a 3 hr time period it may have shown but it was a wet, cloudy night.
Aurorawatch UK is the app..
Latest CME is from a 5.1 solar flare and is the 6th biggest recorded this sun cycle, if clear skies? more than possible.. Should hit late afternoon.
I'll be watching the levels during the day

Well after having been cleaned as though they meant to why not. Allow yer heartrate to reduce to something near normal.
Same as having a rest, innit?
Yer brave, but not that brave/stupid...

I get the feeling if you'd whacked it with summat sharp, it'd be healing quicker.
Only seven weeks left, eight till next year.
Four months, you must have upset someone, badly.
Perfect present for the new year!

Yer still getting out and about, apart from the occasional fallen tree in yer path that you try to clear in a single leap, no mishaps. Gardening ones aside.
Any ideas on what sort you'll be going for. Bearing in mind the "Toodle Twins" might want to tag along, possibly literally. Could yer planned purchase manage?

Turned wet here this evening, but I'd say we're way behind your 21.3. More talk(dire warnings) of upto 10" of snow this week down these parts. Too warm for snow at present.
Got the information from the NASA site. They're relying heavily on Chinese satellite images for information. Apparently they're having trouble with their own.
Just think, a day without mobile phones, satnavs sending you the wrong way, and possibly no internet. Would we manage?
Late afternoon, any idea how long its set to last.
Will you be able to let others know?

 

[classic33]

Can this be possible!

In what experts are calling “the most Scottish thing to ever happen,” scientists believe a record breaking bagpipe performance in Stirling may have accidentally triggered last night’s massive solar flare, now set to light up the skies with an Aurora Borealis display across Britain.
Over 50,000 pipers gathered at Stirling Castle this weekend to play in unison, producing soundwaves powerful enough to make seismographs twitch as far away as Norway.
Just 24 hours later, NASA confirmed an X5.1 class solar flare erupted from the Sun’s surface, the strongest of 2025 so far, sending a wave of charged particles toward Earth.

Good morning all
More rain just starting,
Look on the bright side,
Plenty water for

I'll reply later..
Meanwhile...

Just come off a severe storm...BGS had a severe storm (almost G5)
Skies would have been bouncing, cloud cover here all night..
