Indeed it doesn't.
Shopping around can imo be the most enjoyable part of it.
TBH if was a few years younger, with mileage I now do, I would be looking at an EV .........maybe no use to you with the van though.

Hello all
Just been checking my Premium Bonds - I think mine must be broken - I've had the last 3000 for 2 months now and I still haven't won the big prize
or anything for that matter!!
ANyway - off for blood test in a few mins - then hair cut and farm shop probably
going to take the car because it looks like a load of 'weather' is blowing over from North Wales

Haven't ruled out buying an EV as a 2nd car.
Change of plans this morning.
Was due at the dentist.
I woke at 0300 with one of those "am I going to chuck up" feelings.
I didn't but the feeling remained.
Last week the dentist had the metal band thingy around the tooth, the drill, the water extractor, her hand and (I think) half her arm in my gob.
I thought "if she does the same today I WILL throw up".
So MrsD phoned and rearranged it for 2 weeks time.

Well!!! I'm a bit peed off. Rapid expulsion of air has impacted my cycling for today. Following cutting my ring finger yesterday it's heavily bandaged. The chances of wrestling off a tyre single-handed are remote.
I will now clean my Kinesis, go to LBS for a bit of a moan and then to the barber. I'm feeling a bit scruff so it will make me feel better.
I go to a Turkish barber. Even with my limited amount of hair one gets a good 20 minutes of pampering. 👍

Maybe they're taking smaller steps than you.Second again.
I could hear the rain so lay on for a while. Still very gloomy. Can’t be bothered doing much today.
I had to go back out for another walk after Midsomer Murders last night as someone had taken my first place in the Garmin steps challenge. Can’t have that!

As a cat lover this made me chuckle.
Do you ever get a shave there ?
I don't need one but have often been temped to try it.

afternoon, nothing to report
After drooling over @Mo1959 Kamleika jacket yesterday I looked online and saw a lovely purple version. I mentioned it to Mrs Tenkaykev and after an initial “ how much!! “ it went quiet, only the clicking of mouse buttons and the tapping of her keyboard could be heard. This was shortly followed by “ it’s a bit expensive but it is gorgeous “ then, “ it’s the perfect match for Jennifer “ ( her purple Brommie).
I’m guessing a couple of days max before the lure becomes irresistible. 😁

Yep. The purple seems to be available a bit cheaper but I preferred the blue. It’s due to arrive between 2 and 4 this afternoon. Really must stop buying stuff. I have enough cycling, running and walking gear to see me out!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good afternoon. Back from the metropolis. Did Iceland and Morrisons. I am more than a it disappointed with Morrisons. They have spent a lot of money putting new shelves in etc, but the amount of space allocated to each item has halved and most of the branded goods have been replaced by Morrisons own.
The meat section it now tiny, and the nests themselves are hardly steller. Very few cuts of meat, and very expensive as well. They wanted £4.00 for 3 or 4 small beef bones. Bones for God's sake.
I think it's time to change supermarkets

Right - blood test sample has been taken - for some reason I was suddenly very nervous when I went into the room
no idea why!!
not like me at all - I don;t like needles but I'm not really scared or anything - but I was today
any went home after and got my wife breakfast in bed
then went for a haircut - wish I hadn't because there was an older woman (60s at least) in the other chair (it was a barbers ??) and she was saying how her dog had had Covid
Then - half way through my hair cut - she started saying how she was wondering whether to get her jabs - she didn't go for them in the normal run of things because she was due to return to work 4 days later and didn;t want to get any side effects
so - her dog had had Covid - but she hasn't had the jabs and was sitting a few feet away from me
inconsiderate moron!
she was also going on about how the fuel crisis was caused by the companies wanting to get rid of all the backlogs of fuel because 'they have a new product they want to sell'
a little information - ignored the details - believe whatever theory give the greatest potential to gossip and moan
