A certain young lady on here has been keeping this quiet!

Is it Drago?

Cousins walked. About 2 celsiuses at home, but half a mile away down the hill it's distinctly cooler and with frost.

Would that be a certain Welsh lady ?

She might kill me if I tell you!

It'd be her ninth 70th birthday if it was her!

Back from my walk, I done gud.....about a mile with no stroller. I debated wearing shorts......boy was i glad i wore my tracksuit bottoms as it was decidedly nippy.

She doesn't look a day over 69.

The law changes the end of this month, bringing with it a whole new set of rules. Most notably no food waste to go into general waste. Fines start at £500.

Round here we don;t have a food waste bin yet

I have heard that there are plans but not yet

so it overall law change can;t be this month - otherwise this whole county will be breaking The Law!

Are you still with us Mo?

Just checked
The law change means that all counsel have to give residents a separate way of recycling food waste by the end of the month

but you do not have to use it ( but we will)

some counsels are set to miss the deadline - looks like ours is one of them

they have, however, increased the number fo things you can put in the recycling bin - which I bet most people are totally unaware of!

I’ve stuck the morning session of the athletics on.

Good morning. Wall to wall sunshine. Glorious. I've just treated myself to bacon, tomatoes, fried up potatoes, eggs and toast. Very unusual.........but because I'm worth it. Today? A couple of emails to answer, then up to the allotment to plant my potatoes, I'm growing Charlottes this year................she's very cross about that. 12.30 Rovers v Boro. Rovers are 19th, Boro 2nd. I'll say no more till later. I'll head to the gym this afternoon and then see how the rest of the day pans out

Morning

so - today
Physio appointment lunchtime
SWMBO got a bit worried when I had problem walking a few months ago
It was a rather bad version of something I have had before - swelling up back of foot - which my Dad - who was a Chiropodist and would know - said was transferred from the base as the foot is weird
anyway - I have bone spurs - which is one reason I wasn't called up for Vietnam - and that got involved
and also my knees are getting worse
I don;t really think she knows how much I walk in a very specific was to keep my knees happy otherwise they just collapse or get inflamed amd I end up walking with a stick for months

basically I can walk all day unless I get bored - but if I try to change it in any way then I am in trouble

anyway - over the years it has got worse so I thought it was worth doing what she "suggested" and getting everything looked at

One word: temperament.
After having six Jack Russells over the years, MrsD decided to in for a quieter breed.
Whippets are generally less manic, apparently.
I wasn't too bothered about having another dog, but she can't live without one; so I caved in.

Yes, I must have a dog as well.

I’ve stuck the morning session of the athletics on.

I read "athletics" as "testicles" for some reason. Glasses back on, normality restored.
