Just tapping on the smiley faces and they show as I am typing but when I hit the post reply button they disappear!! Test smiley face.

I put one before "test smiley face" and it has not shown.

Anyway on a more positive note I have today spent a grand of my money that would otherwise go on a care home for a week in years to come on some nice carbon wheels!!

Carbon wheels? Us pensioners like old fashioned wheels made from cast iron, or solid oak.

I have some of them heavy wheels on my winter bike. Coupled with the Reynolds 531, mudguards, pannier racks etc it is like penance just trying to ride it!!!

Morning all, a day of playing with dents is planned after a swim this morning. Have a good one everybody and live it to the full.

Good morning. Bloody hell. It is so cold here. Lots of the white stuff (frost). Brrrrrrr.

Blimey! We've had an air frost last night. Car windscreen has some white stuff on it!
Must be man made climate change!

Oh, hang on..........it's nearly November innit?

Going to visit a friend who is home from having a hip replacement.

I will ask Mr WD. He is an expert at being able to fill every nook and cranny with shoot that hasn't been used in 20 years. Thankfully his memory isn't that good and i am expert now at throwing things away secretly without him realising it.
