Noticed the mornings getting darker now.

Good morning. Bright and sunny here. Managed 8.5 hours sleep almost straight through - woke a few times but drifted off again.

Walking day today followed by tea and cake at my favourite cafe. Yummy.

Doctors this morning.

Good morning all fellow wheezers. Another day in paradise. Just bimbling around today. Dog walking, a bit of gardening, the front needs tidying up. And then a few miles out on the bike.

Its an illusion. They are just getting light later

Morning to all in the land of wrinkles.
Bright and sunny here.
A 'bitty' day for me.
Have to drop my car off for its MOT so that always a worry (although I am not expecting problems).
I will get some sun bathing done later. I need topping up before I go away .
I bought some Endura shorts this week. Medium, the same as 2 other pairs I have......but they wont go near me Why is that?? So I have to return them which is a pain.
I will also get a 20 mile ride in at some point.

Good morning - Another nice day and another trip to our friend's allotment. This time to spread compost over the earth where the spuds were (dug them up a few days ago).

I'll be riding over to see my brother this afternoon.

My car is due MOT and service next month, which should be problem free, but like you I worry that they might find something expensive. At the moment the hand brake needs tweaking, I looked at doing it myself but it requires some dismantling in the cabin so they can do it at service.

Morning all,

Woke up ready to take my mum's car to Evans Halshaw to get ripped off, when I got a message about it from a cycling club member, just sold it to him instead.

Very happy start to the day

Mate of mine used to work for them in their service department. Old dears would come in for their service and MOT and innocently say something daft like, "dont find too much wrong as I've only got £400". They would happily oblige and present a bill for £399.

Hope all goes well.
