I'm up again it's a bit at1.5c here

Cycling is cancelled.

Or if you're selling it.....

If I was trading it in, I would tell them. I barely use it these days and thought about downsizing even further to the little Aygo.

Right Only COnnect is starting - lets see how many I get today

I got the one about the symphonies right away! I get so few that I feel I’m allowed to boast about it.
Fiendishly difficult programme. University Challenge, which follows, seems a doddle in contrast.

I don't seem to have the right type of brain for Only Connect. I can get the odd one on University Challenge.

You’re up so early that it’s possible your brain has shut down by 8pm!!

I hardly use mine now, a Suzuki Swift, I think I just clocked 2000 miles in the last 12 months, I used to do around 5000 miles a year

Morning all...As Paulus said a frosty start to the day. Today is a day of domestics, 3 loads of washing ready to go on, hoovering and give the windows a clean inside and out. No PB's for me this month

Enjoy your day folks!

If truth be told I could almost manage without it, but there's always silly things like skip runs, taking bikes for repairs, etc that I would miss it for. I keep meaning to take the odd jaunt away just for the day but that's another summer over and I haven't bothered. Mind you, Covid hasn't helped.

Just like chocolate bars. Smaller chocolate but the same price. Then they can say we have not increased our price...... but you have

Like Waggon Wheels.
When we were kids they were MASSIVE

Good morning. Blue sky here so far. We are going to Chester for 10.30 as the car is booked in for a minor recall so I may as well have a closer look at the Dacia range whilst we are there.

A lot of car for the money.

Sadly there are a lot of things like that nowadays.

One of our neighbours had a Dacia is Duster? Specs were good, but it was very underpowered. She got rid of it.

I'll be interested to know what someone looking at one thinks

MrsD is adamant some things have got smaller over the years

That was a chilly, but pleasant wander. The ground is drying up a bit now.

Re eggs, given I think it's the yolk that's the tastiest bit, I'm sure I read that buying extra large eggs actually just gives you more white stuff and the yolks aren't any bigger so I don't see the point for me anyway.

There's a small shop up the road that sells local produce. They have pre boxed eggs, and trays of eggs you can select from and box yourself. Last year I chose six very large eggs, and they were indeed very large. I fried one and it was a " double yoker " as was the next, and the one after that. It got really exciting, and suspenseful as I progressed through the box. Would it be a " full house " or would I be disappointed. As I cracked the last one into the pan I let out a whoop of delight, every one was a " double yoker "
