Salut tout le monde . Taking Mrs G to a funeral this afternoon, somebody she knew but I didn't so I will take Molly for a walk whilst she says her goodbyes.
On the way back, stopping at daughter number 4 to finish off laying laminate floor and have a hair cut, then feet up for the rest of the day.
Dull and damp so far but not cold.

Not sure why you blacked out your car reg is you can still see it on the van.
4 mile walk done this morning since it's overcast and windy with rain due by 12.
Just seen a report that there had been an earthquake in Scotland Any signs in your area?

It was a PROPER ride. Every serious cyclist is a good cyclist, the differences are nothing more than experience, stamina, training and some of us simply have decades under our belts. It most definitely does not make one rider better than another, just faster. That's all.Morning folksim still feeling elated after yesterdays ride, it was 23m over the hills plus 6m on the A9 yep i know thats nowt to those here who do that before having there cornflakes
It felt like a 'proper' ride and the beginnings of where next
Looks grim out there this morning though so will be doing chores and going to the shops for some veg
Along with the rest of us you're in the top 5% of the population by virtue of exercising properly and regularly.
👏👏👏 Chapeau.

If the epicenter was Scotland, it might have been @Mo1959 dropping her purse, if not, it could have been Mrs @BoldonLad dropping her purse.
Good morning all.
The mutt has been walked, thebedding is still going round and round inthe washing machine.
The sun is out and it is quite warm outside. I might be able to get the washing on the line for a couple of hours.
After that a bimble on the bike to the local grocers for a few essentials, and maybe a pint or three in the Mitre on the way home

From what we saw on Saturday's ride in the Vale of York, pheasants are plentiful over there, but shotgun cartridges are in short supply. People just get in their cars and run them over instead! We must have seen at least 5 or 6 squashed in the road.
Quite right! I do a lot more than most people of any age, but a lot less than you, for example.
I do sometimes wonder what might have been when I read about other people's spectacular cycling adventures, but I am lucky to be alive and still able to ride my bike over tough hills so I am not going to dwell on that.
Just do what you can, folks, and have fun doing it!

My mum had them for her last couple of years when she was too frail to cook for herself. She seemed to quite enjoy them. Okay if you have a small appetite, I would say, but I would probably want to eat a week's worth in one meal!

Morning folks

I really enjoy cycling, but. I am afraid I am easily discouraged by, for example, poor weather, particularly wind and/or rain.
I make little challenges, to improve my motivation, sometimes, from this forum (eg ABC Street Names, Saints Names etc etc), and sometime daft ideas I think up for myself. Currently, my (well, our, since Mrs @BoldonLad has joined it) is to cycle at least 150 miles per month. It doesn't seem particularly onerous, after all, it is only 5 miles per day. But, of course, some days we don't do any cycling, so, we have to "catch up". We managed it just in October, this month we are way ahead (at present), 110 miles and only halfway through the month!
First through the door Dirk?

Generally. I like to try to support a struggling industry that's part of our culture and social history........
This should keep me going for the rest of the day.
