Good morning, a very beautiful sunrise, reds, blues, golds.......................yes, yes I know red sky in the morning................
Early bed last night and slept till 6.50 except for an hour awake with a brew. Feeling far better so I'm off to join the club ride at 9.00am. It's one of my routes and a decent cafe so should be fun plus a good friend wants to show me her beautiful new Dolan. I will oooh and aaah as appropriate.
Think we are in for about 75 miles and a flattish 2500 to 3000 feet.

Morning folks 
a cloudy day with a gentle breeze the forecast says....so if it turns out to be a rain lashing hurricane i'll be miffed! Got my mudguards but now have to send off for bolts...cant be bothered to buy them at the hardware store as it'll probably cost the same or they dont have any. Still havent got a working kettle, bit pricy up the road so looks like ebay again.

Good morning, world!
The sun is shining on Planet Thanet this morning, but some darker clouds are gathering in the distance.
Today , I shall mainly be packing for our forthcoming trip to Devon. I do not enjoy packing, but I like even less arriving at my destination to find I forgot pants and socks, so some careful consideration must be applied to the task.
This afternoon, an energetic young folk band called Granny's Attic are running a workshop for musicians locally, and I shall drag along my weightiest guitar.
This evening they will play a concert at the same venue and I will be there.
Stay safe, everyone.....

I am back. 21 chilly but enjoyable miles at a pathetic 11mph but I am taking my time these days and it's making it a bit more fun again.
I ordered these yesterday for my machine so they arrived this morning. My feet are currently pulsating. Weird feeling but it may help.

@Salad Dodger whereabouts in Devon are you going?
Should think so, its nearly lunch time
All jobs completed, apart from taking a letter to the Doctors..... that can wait till Monday.
Just waiting for the guy to turn up and start on the patio.
Now here is a thing. I suddenly have sausage on crusty cob on my mind. I think I will have to satisfy that craving

Morning all... Colin, my brother lives in Bishopthorpe not far from that cafe 'But First' if that's the one. Enjoy the ride!
Not much on today, going to make a batch of mince pies, and do a little pootle this afternoon locally. (Classic that's not Numbnuts style)

Did you also order the Mitouch at £399 or Mibody at £99?I am back. 21 chilly but enjoyable miles at a pathetic 11mph but I am taking my time these days and it's making it a bit more fun again.

Electric shock stimulation seems to be coming back into fashion, again. 80's Ronco Abdomoniser anyone?

I've got the Mitouch. It appears to get decent reviews, although how much is placebo effect who knows.

Wouldn't a PP3 battery to the soles of the feet be a lot cheaper?I've got the Mitouch. It appears to get decent reviews, although how much is placebo effect who knows.
At least you have the piece required to operate them. I looked, thinking they might be touching pressure points used in acupuncture, then saw how they work.
