No Colin , we’re mature and sensible.

Ooooohh I must quote that to my wife.
Not sure she will agree though.

When she stops laughing let us know.

And you went back to the "over & under" method of getting past?

Learned that my step mother passed away this morning. She'd been in a care home for 6 weeks suffering with dementia.

That reminds me of a mountain bike ride I did through a forest in Scotland a few years ago. They'd had a freak storm the week before...

That was the trail that we were supposed to be riding down!

We've got about double that here but it had started overnight so we got a head start; it has stopped now. I thought the snow might melt but the temperature is dropping so I think it will freeze and tomorrow will definitely NOT include my daily 6 km bike ride! I will carefully walk to get my paper and shopping instead.

I was picturing Mo limboing under a couple of those trees with steel drums playing in the background 🎶

Afternoon everyone .
Weather wasnt too bad this morning , rigging the boat and the sailing was all done in the sunshine . Didn’t get cold and I had a good race too, well good for me lol. I finished 4th and Mrs exlaser won the race .
But it changed a little this afternoon, we were sat with the in-laws having a cup of tea before going home and the snow started. I really wasn’t expecting that , I must start looking further than the wind strength when I check the weather forecast on a Sunday morning 😂

We have had some sleet

Thanks to all who gave hugs on my post about my stepmother passing.
To be honest, I am indifferent to the event as I had no emotional attachment to her and I only really viewed her as a barrier to my inheritance after my dad died 10 years ago. ( There were certain shenanigans that went on 25 years ago, when my dad remarried, resulting in a widespread family bust up and my brother being written out of the will)
I, however, kept my nose out of it and played the longer game.
The estate now gets split between myself and my stepbrother.
I will now get a substantial six figure sum for my patience, sometime in the new year.

Went for a very slow spin in some fairly healthy headwinds. Almost 13C. Pretty plush for late November. Felt so virtous having done this manly ride I ate a very nice chunk of apple pie for luncheon. I did not much like my stepmother either. She would bitch someone out for hours, but if any criticism came her way she would get incredibly butthurt.

It's warmer over there than here. Still into single figures, daytime, and minus at night.
