Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We have just spent a lot of money on a new t.v.. It's out of stock at the moment but should be here September. It's so easy to spend lots of money quickly, but as someone said. "There is nae pockets in a shroud". I wonder who that was.

Good afternoon folks,
I’ve noticed more air traffic into and out of Hurn over the last week or so. A lot of it is freight and there appears to be a new service between Cardiff and Bournemouth as there’s been two flights from there already today. It’s impressive that the flight time is only twenty minutes 😮

UPDATE:
Yet another Freight flight from Cardiff, this one was low and an Airbus again. Our Veg box didn’t arrive until this afternoon, it’s usually about 8:00am. We’ve got to know our driver over the couple of years we’ve been having the box and he says it’s a desperate shortage of drivers. That got me thinking, the flight time between Cardiff and Bournemouth is 18-20 minutes, the cargo plane can carry a huge amount, so perhaps it’s more effective than trucking it by road?

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Your other correspondent feels worse! 149 km (93 miles) yesterday with an unexpectedly high 2,350 m (7,700 ft) of climbing, including multiple ramps at 20+%. I am not fit enough for that!
The reasons for the extra distance and ascent over what was planned were just missing one train from Clitheroe and the next one being cancelled. I had a long slog back, 50% of which was in the dark.

Turned out nice. Took the bus to Balerno, walked back via Green Cleugh then the wonderfully named Phantom’s Cleugh. Top wildlife spot was an osprey that circled into view with a fish in its talons. We watched it for several minutes as it presumably looked for a good picnic spot.

I only live 3.91 miles from Eastleigh Airport and we hardly get any planes either.......
maybe it's the smog at 24,000 feet that keeps them away
