Mrs P is watching Britain's Got Talent..................................I'm looking for the razor blades.........................
In fairness to Mrs P the daughter in law of a friend was on. She is the young woman who helped the lad in a green T-shirt and wheelchair during the performance by Sign Along With Us - that isn't a typo.
I do feel she could have turned over to something else now

I detest these programmes. They are obviously popular though or they wouldn’t keep making them.

I usually watch very little TV, if I watch a program I'm more likely to watch it on the computer on catch up than on the TV itself.

Is that what you tell TV licensing when they knock on your door?

Good morning all. Still dark and I've been awake since 5.30 but hey ho.......very still outside and the sky is clear so I think we are set for a nice day.
Setting off to Haverigg, Cumbria at 8.00 for three days cycling in the Lakes with a friend. He has two statics, he and his wife in one, me in the other. Forecast for the local area is excellent for today and Monday, less so on Tuesday so a decision on Tuesday's riding is yet to be made. Should have been two others but they've cried off; one injured and the other personal matters.
I've decided to buy a gravel bike. Next job is to run this N+1 by Mrs P. She did agree in January when I wrote off my tourer but I should check. A gravel bike will fulfill three purposes; good winter bike, tourer and, obviously, gravel.
I've done perhaps 20 miles on towpaths recently. During one of these rides met a good friend who was doing a 50/55 mile loop to Manchester of which 90% off road. Plus I'd forgotten how much fun I used to have on my Marin San Rafael on towpaths and trails.
I'm finding our routes less and less interesting. We know every square inch of Lancashire, no matter how we mix it up any route is basically the same roads. We have to go further and further afield to find anything new. If I was riding solo I probably wouldn't go out. My thought is a gravel bike would open up a lot of new possibilities........I'm not taking my beautiful Cervelo along any more towpaths, she was very sad last time.
