Evening all .
Had a nice race this morning ( other than being late to the start for the third week running 😂, still not used to the new boat and starting 3mins earlier ) . Considering everything, I finished where I thought I should which makes me happy. I think this boat will be a keeper as long as the old body ( especially the knee’s) holds out. Which is why my Christmas present from Mrs exlaser this year is some cushioning material that I can stick to the boats floor 😂.
Now relaxing before tea and waiting for wine o’clock ( 8pm ).
Have a good evening everyone .

Evening folks on the turbo, walked the beach, watched dvd's, zzzzzzz
My roses are arriving tomorrow and have prepared the bed with copious amounts of horse ***t and composted seaweed. Have put a cloche out on part of the bed so i can heal them in if its icy.

At least you'll not be laying on the bed you made.

You were allowed to order a kids portion? I didn't know that could happen.

Good evening. It's dark. I think it's been sunny. A very busy day. We got up late, highly unusual for me but I slept for 8½ hours. Then with all the family coming for lunch it was a big rush to prepare. A good day was had by all. Three little granddaughters 5, 2 and 1 and none had a meltdown. That's a result.

Now I have a wee dram. Finally found this at a decent price. £26 in Sainsbury's with a Nectar card. My first thought is it's quite harsh but the taste has mellowed. This is a whisky that needs holding for a while to mellow it in the glass.

When i lost my appetite last year my local knew the problem and actually suggested kids portions to me.

That's good to hear and very decent of them to understand.

Finished watching the F1

and had dinner
which was gammon and very nice!

BTW - forgot to mention that on the ride today the bike went over 11,400 miles

which I was quite pleased with

(NB not on that one ride - but in total since I got it - thought I better make that clear!!!!)

weird things was that the mileage was 22 miles below the 11,400 at the start
so I took a few long cuts so it would be over

and by the end the mileometer said 23 miles


Strava reckons it was 19 and a bit

but once I stopped it recording and saved it it now says 21.51

Strava can be a bit weird at times!!

Here in Oz lots of places sell Seniors portions.

At the moment Glenmorangie, a highland single malt is £29.50 instead of £40.50 with the nectar card in Sainsbury's.
