There's a good old joke there.
Oh sorry, that's rissoles

Well that’s another month gone. It’s just whizzed by. I can’t believe how fast time seems to be going now. It’ll be 14 years at the end of this year since I packed in work. It’s scary to think if the next 14 go as quickly I’ll be 80 before I know it, if I’m still around.

MrsMikeIOW took our first crop of quince and made a dessert tonight with it. Very tasty!
Gardening all afternoon: massively pruned our apple & a few buddleias. Good job our friendly neighbour is away for a few weeks….needed her big bin too!
Apples suffered again from worm holes in about 60-70% of them. I believe we need to get nematodes to sort this out. It’s all new to me: I’m more landscaping than the growing bits 🤪
Night all.

14 years for me next February. I share your sentiments exactly . The months are flashing by . I am looking forward to hot stews and wood fires
as consolation for the long wet winter evenings. Had to bring an umbrella as cover walking the dog at 11.30 pm . It was so wet today she didn't get out earlier . The biggest thrill about going to bed now is the electric blanket !!!

Morning.
Grey and overcast, damp. Welcome to October.
Off to take Dad to appointment then get car serviced so a day on the road for me.

Stay safe peeps

I got my first puncture in over a decade today. A large staple managed to penetrate my Marathon Plus. Luckily a spare inner tube always carried so only held me up for twenty minutes.

If you're doing around 5000miles a year and that's first puncture in over 10 years that's impressive. I ride on Continental GP5000s which are very good as well but not that good. Obviously riding condiitons etc vary but still very good 10 years!

Morning. Lay a bit longer as the forecast wasn’t great. We are in for a few wet days but it’s really mild. Currently 14 degrees. Only problem is, it can be uncomfortable wearing waterproofs when it’s warm.
