Good day all. It's dry and relatively still outside. This means a bike ride is on a hectic list but first laundry.
  1. White wash on
  2. Dry white wash?
  3. Iron white wash?
  4. Change bed
  5. Ride
  6. No.1 and No.2 son arrive for lunch
  7. Find jelly recipe for Christmas
  8. Drop in party at neighbour's
  9. Tea
  10. Rovers v Wigan
Why can't Christmas just be football and bike rides?? Izzy whizzy let's get busy!! :laugh:

Going well so far!! Chain snapped on the ride:sad:. So my last three rides included two punctures, a crash and broken chain.

Why Lord? What have I done,?

The Mena Dhu stout was very moorish.

Back from the expedition to Gobowen. No traffic on the way there but on the way back the traffic going into Wrexham from Chester was mad.

Was told that we had to go to the BIG M&S near Ellesmere Port to buy new slippers for my forthcoming visit to hospital. Does everyone have to have new slippers if they are going into hospital? Great fun watching people in the food hall preparing for the end of the world.

Are shops not open again on Thursday or Friday?

Bonsoir tout le monde from North Devon. We got here at 3.30pm after being stuck on the M6 for 50 minutes, north of Birmingham, due to an overturned van. I am resigned now that it is not possible to cover the 330 miles in less than 7 hours, unless you go in the middle of the night and I am not doing that.

Touch wood, I generally don't have a problem when using the M5 if I go up country. Most times I can do Braunton to Redditch in just over 3 hours.

My plans for tomorrow didn't include a supermarket visit,but it looks like I've failed to factor in how quickly our lad can get through a box of mince pies, so it looks like I shall have to raid the local supermarket for extra supplies.^_^

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

There are reports that in some supermarkets people are having to queue for an hour to get to the check out. And in some places the queues go out the doors. Good luck. :laugh:
