Doxa 300T Professional ordered. Hell, you only live once, and if it's good enough for Clive Cussler...

I didn't know what this is so Googled. Looks excellent. Well done, you're right we should enjoy ourselves while we can especially given the age we've found ourselves plunged in to.

Eat , drink and be merry for tomorrow is Christmas Day ! dragging on the lycra tights now and then dragging myself out the front door for a couple of miles of sedate running , its very mild by the look of it.

Very cold here to the extent it woke me and I had to switch the electric blanket on!!!! Highly unusual for me.

I've got mine on....coffee just finished and heading out too. It's certainly not mild here though. In fact one of my fellow Marcothoners has just put up a pic of snow where he is.

Like Boris Johnson's ratings when a Brexit deal is on the horizon, I have risen!

Blimey that wind was perishing! 5 miles done at a brisker pace and that completes the Strava 200k distance challenge for the month too with days to spare.

Good morning all.
It's dark, it's cool, the temperature has dropped considerably overnight.

Today after the usual early dog walk will be a domestics day and then cooking the sausage rolls and mince pies. MrsP adds a little bit of apple to the sausage meat, it make them very yummy.
Stay safe everyone

The rate at which your hair grows slows as you get older.

The "Seven Year Rule" applies more to the back of your head than any other part of you.

I thought that would happen, but it hasn't, not yet anyway

1970 we had an offy were we could take pop bottles to get filled with draught bitter.
Dirk would have like it as the beer was flat........ but it was cheap

I remember the off licence where you could take a bottle and buy sherry from the wood . My mum would send me there to buy it. I must have been about 12. Can you Imagine sending a 12 year old to an off licence nowadays.

Morning folks. I have had a gander at abother site and lost track of time.

Stay safe folks
