.Nettles. Trust me, nettles are a good substitute for toilet paper.
If you can't get live nettles then brambles.

Automated email from Spa Cycles to say the bike has been despatched. I am strangely unexcited 
Even wondering if I should have bothered. Hopefully when spring arrives and we finally have dry, clean roads the enthusiasm will return.

Good morning all. Sky is clear, 5⁰C and promising to be a good day.
Terrible night's sleep and body feels like it's been hit by a runaway train - at least twice. Meeting a buddy for a ride at 9.30 so must dash to do my morning stretches and get ready.
I know some good lights. If we ride by I'll grab a pic.
Be good and if you can't well don't get caught!!!!

The Cycling Podcast often has discussions on this with a professor of sports nutrition from one of the technical universities. He sounds credible but he’s also one of the owners I think of Science in Sport, who are themselves a long standing sponsor of the podcast.

No more suggestions for alternatives please . Some on here are are having breakfast .
Or a fluffy Lamb if you're quick enough to catch one. Sheepskin toilet paper, very posh.. Although I suppose that would be classed as Glamping.
Don't forget the eggs

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A nice sunny start to the day here.
I have an appointment with the chiropractor at 12.30 for the 3 monthly service.
Dog walking shortly across the fields whilst MrsP does her Zoom pilates in the back room.
Agree with @PaulSB about cancelling Christmas, not that I am a great Christmas fan anyhow.
Too many people will abuse the time, and then wonder why we are in lockdown in January.
People are allowing emotions to cloud their views.
Anyway , stay safe everyone

Just noticed how much Saturday’s walk resembled the outline of Texas...

My niece and nephew are getting heehaw after disowning me following me telling my brother what I thought of him a year ago. He already got the house they are in bought for them by my dad and step mum....paid a small amount back and got let off with paying any more. Sat back and watched me struggle with helping the folks out for their final years without a single offer of help and after still being generous (or a mug) and letting him take on dad's house which he built himself and was very proud of so I decided to let my brother take it on to keep it in the family so he got much more of the inheritance than I did. Barely got a thanks and last year at Christmas, on the first anniversary of losing dad, they were in Crieff and didn't even look in to see me. Left on my own on Christmas with nothing but sad memories. He got a stinking email from me and within hours I was unfriended on Facebook and we have had no contact since. Truth obviously hurt!First Paul SB now Mo what other financially irresponsible pensioner is going to spend the kids ,nieces and nephews , cats home inheritance money on a new bike.
