Been weighing myself the last few mornings, seems to be holding steady at 9st 13.5, the same as before Christmas - so all that Christmas cake, chocolate, and red wine doesn’t seem to have had an effect

And vice versa...
I like my old Samsung Galaxy Tab for playing games on. I also used to do some web browsing and YouTube video watching on it. Most of my old puzzle games still work but the YouTube app and browsers don't. If I try running the old version of the YT app, it tells me that a new version is available but Google Play will not let me download it because it is not compatible with my old software/hardware....
My new Galaxy Tab is much better than the old tablet in every respect, except that for simple games I would rather use a smaller device, but one significantly bigger than my phone. The 8.9" screen on the old tab was ideal.

I managed to get in two good rides on the new Orro today. I did 34.3 miles this morning, came home for some lunch, and then 23.1this afternoon.
The Orro Gold STC is an awesome endurance bike, most easily the best of the bikes I've ridden for longer rides. First time I've bought a bike and everything is absolutely flawless. Well done Orro, I'm now a fan, and the company are relatively close to me at Ditchling, where the famous Ditchling hillclimb takes place.
I still haven't taken any pictures of it, so you'll have to wait a while.
My feet were frozen on my return though, so I've just ordered a pair of these.
So now I'm off for a steep, and then I'll try to catch up on the fun here today.

I always thought this was the thread where all the really nice people hung out.

It was a rare moment, so don't be too impressed! I'll likely pay for it tomorrow.

Just drawing a bath as we speak.
There were comments directed at me this morning within these wall that went to the heart.
'You've got three bikes now, and on not one of them can you fetch home a litre of milk!'
I had no answer to that, so today I found time to buy another bike-one on which I can fetch home a litre of milk.
I'm waiting for it to be delivered and to see the look on her face as bike number 4 arrives.🤣
