Yes - that would be really nice, thankyou......
I'll have to make do with fish fingers, frozen chips and peas.*

* Before Classic jumps in.......yes I will be cooking them first.

As if I would poke fun at someone whose chippy was shut!

Following a conversation on our local page on Facebook. Some woman is getting grief from a guy because she is asking if anyone has a wooden pallet she can have to make something in the garden to amuse her kids to keep them occupied. Basically, he is saying that's non essential and coming across as a pompous prick while she is trying to explain that her husband could pick it up when he is shopping and wouldn't come into contact with anyone. What do you think? Is he correct or just being an annoying twat?

He's a complete twat.

Lol. Always someone out to capitalise on whatever is happening.

Sure is. Yesterday I got a (full colour) flyer from a local undertaker showing all the coffins they have - offering easy payments!

Not what I really wanted, given the current circumstances.

I bought 12 bottles of sanitizer from some guy that knocked on the door. £10.00 a bottle but hey ho.
It actually says Syrup of Figs on the bottle but he assured me that was because they had run out of the proper bottles.

That should give you a good run for your money......

26 miles on the hybrid. Very badly timed weather wise. Heavy drizzle and very overcast 90% of the ride so I got soaked through. Wish I had put my Northwave Goretex boots on as my feet were even soaked. Still great to get out though. I think you appreciate it even more just now.

I am short of reading material now.
Last night I read a book that I have not read for years.
I read it cover to cover again this morning and am about to start it again.
I quite like my old Beano annual but have had enough of it.

Gorgeous sunny day here.
Been out and done my Boris Bimble - only 10 miles.
Back home for a beer and FF n chips.
Not the same as Fish Friday, but it will have to do.

I have bimbled. 11 miles only for me today. It was very cold even though the sun was shining. I wore my hat and gloves the whole time.

I'm going out about 1700hrs for a quick 15 miler. Need to get it in before the Derbyshire police snipers get down here.
