Sorry to disappoint you old man but the best were the 50's born people.

EXCUSE ME!!!!!!
1947 for me so I was blessed to be a teenager AND be in Liverpool in the 60s.

Apparently it's only 3 deg here and not the singers either.

Good morning gang .
Right @classic33 its weird dream time again.
In this one myself and MrsD travelled to the south of France so I could buy a single golf club (a driver....not the course).
When we got there I found the price was not £130.00 but £1,300.00.
Anyway I tried it on the driving range and didn't like it
Next thing we were on the wrong motorway and I was on my bike while MrsD was walking.

I've just been out to the shed and it ain't warm here either.

Edit, I've just looked at the weather app, apparently its 10 deg and its not forecast to go above 15 deg today.

Morning folks looks ok out and most importantly not too windy so alright for a bumble...which is a less advanced newbie version of a bimble im wondering how high i should let my heart rate soar on the hilly bits ....the inbuilt 'rev limiter' cutting in could be unfortunate- think i'll ask in the health and dont die section.

Good morning folks,
A good nights sleep after the full on weekend looking after our granddaughter. Daughter had been up to Leicester to catch up with friends, some of whom she'd not seen for nearly 20 years.
On a completely different topic, over the last few years I've occasionally come across an image, about the size of a small tile. It looks a bit robotic. They're in no particular place, one was in a wooded area, one at the side of a footpath, and yesterday I noticed one on a concrete post by a small alleyway. They're inconspicuous and I've done a bit of research but all to no avail. I wondered if anyone here was familiar with the image?

It was supposed to be 15 deg here yesterday but it was a lot warmer than that. Hopefully today will be the same

That's a bit like a Bhudda meditation position is it not. The Lotus Flower or whatever they call it? Be interesting to find out. Maybe just some random artist popping stuff up?

Stupid boy.

1941 was a vintage year as it was the year I made my first appearance .
