Morning folks, strange morning, it's very still, quiet and damp, but it's not raining. Washing day, I've got a machine full waiting to go on, a line full of sheets and pillow cases out and a basket full to iron. Later we're out to lunch then we're down the club.

Hi

Morning all, looking out of the window at the gathering clouds yet again. I had better get out with the dog before the rain starts again. The forecast is better for the next few days though. MrsP and myself are off to Suffolk tomorrow for a few days, and the cottage we use has no TV and hardly any phone service which is nice.

it's clearly been raining but we now have blue sky, fluffy clouds and little wind.

Mrs P, who rarely gets up before 10.30, is rushing round making a picnic, coffee etc. before leaving to collect a friend who lives 20 minutes away at 7.50. They are going to Edgbaston for the tennis. It's now 7.38!

I have a U3A meeting at 10.00. Today's big decision is can I be arsed to fit in a haircut before the meeting.

I would have to be ill to still be in bed at that time! lol

Out the door at 5am for a 7.5 hilly run. Took it easy and quite enjoyed it. Being a lovely morning helps.

Mmmmm, this porridge is good this morning.

As classic would say "why would you want to eat a Chinese person"?

Morning all.
Was going for a ride with MrsD this morning, but after yesterday's effort I'm having second thoughts.
She had difficulty getting her head through the door all last night.
We did a 12 miler yesterday and she came back with 1 x bronze, 3 x silver, 1 x PR, 2 x top tens ( 4 & 6) & 1 x QoM on Strava.
Think I'll drive into Barnstaple instead and buy some new chinos..........

Just took a mouthful of mine as I read that, definitely

For the interested among you I couldn't be arsed. Quick 8 miler round trip to feed the cats. Fed neighbour's cat and chickens. Collected in 14 bins!!!

Next is shower, porridge and U3A.

I shall gently ride in to town later for the "works" at the Turkish barbers and relax.

Me too. Very occasionally I can be found hibernating till 9.00 but it would have to be wet and very little to do.

I like to be up by 7.00. Might take an hour over the paper and porridge.

Mrs P is then quite capable of spending four hours on the couch in the evening. She's not idle, very active in fact, but for fewer hours per day than me.
