Good morning all. All together now : Happy birthday to Gavroche (repeat).
Going for lunch booked at 1pm on Anglesey, 17 of us. Because I intend to have a drink, I am not driving there and not paying the bill either.
My daughter has made me a Birthday cake which I will post on here much later on.

May I ask which pub/restaurant you are going to ?

At least our oven clock will be correct for 6 months. You need a degree in science (or whatever) to alter it.

I’ll second that Now were did I put the cooker instruction manual

Edit Hells teeth I’ve just thought the clock on the car radio doesn’t change automatically until

Edit Surprise started the car the clock had changed

Good morning folks, its a tad blowy and I can hear the rain hitting the windows. On days like this I’m glad of the smart turbo trainer, especially when using an app such as Fulgaz where I can explore new places or just places I’m familiar with. Do you have a turbo @Mo1959 ?

I detest indoor exercise but did drag the exercise bike back indoors. Only used once so far but at least it’s there for when the weather is bad. Come to think of it, I should really use it just now and try and rest the foot a bit. Did my 4 mile walk this morning but stuck boots on for more support. Not too bad until the last mile when the big toe joint started to get a bit achy. Maybe running shoes are too flexible for serious walking? I maybe need the slight rigidity and support from boots so might stick with them to see.

Well timed walk as it’s now raining.

ps time to buy some smart new boots

You must be a mind reader! New pair of Hotter Ridge GTX in extra wide fitting arriving on Tuesday.

Well the weather is certainly variable. I had a lovely ( virtual ) ride along the Pentcaitland Railway Trail. A lovely sunny day, lots of gentle downhills with a couple of lumps thrown in. Switched out to Mrs Tenkaykev's saddle/saddle post and she is now exploring the environs of the Gateshead area.
The wind has dropped, the rain has stopped, the Sun is peeping between the clouds. Todays Bournemouth 10 road race was called off on Friday due to the forecast storms. As part of the course goes along the Prom I can see why they erred on the side of caution.

After a long evening/night of fun and laughs and romance and passion we are staying under our duvet for a few more hours yet.

Our bed is currently a mattress on the floor at the front of the house with lovely views out albeit besmirched by wind and rain.

Very snuggly it is too.

Forgot all about the clock thing too. 🕒

Heard you the first time! We’re only senile, not deaf

We have three trees down blocking the village off

Don't look like my doggie wants to go for a walk - she's refusing to get out of bed.
Can't say that I blame her.

Morning all... Happy Birthday @gavroche

Like Kev I'm glad of the spin bike, at the moment I'm doing a virtual LeJog still in Cornwall near Redruth, I've stopped for a comfort stop and breakfast

Enjoy your day folks!
