My day got better phew! :okay: a guy down the road with a van is going to shift my stuff...sorted ^_^
Went for a walk along Brora beach and saw a Peregrine fly over, there was a bird farther along on the sand probably an oystercatcher, the Peregrine dropped like a stone and into a stoop but missed.. awesome to see though :okay:
Next joy on the beach was the old lady and her 3 collies ^_^the collies ran over to sat hello and i threw their ball for them...simple pleasures ^_^

Managed to get out for ride late morning - 20 something miles - not too bad

annoyingly there were 2 lad just in front of me on the canal path on the way back. They were going at that annoying speed where I could pass them but if I did I would have to maintain a slightly faster speed than I wanted in order to keep increasing the gap - and if they speeded up a bit I would look like a plonker
OK - more like a plonker than usual

so I stayed behind them and just went slower than usual.

At least they were blokes - if they were female I would worry that they thought I was following them

My wife thinks I over think things - no idea why!^_^

I worry about the same thing. The truth is that a lot of women WOULD be worried by unknown men approaching.

I have even had problems with women who actually know me! Example: I was at a club in Coventry once and I spotted a young woman who had been on the same degree course as me. We had always got on so I wandered over to say hello. I tapped her on the shoulder and she whirled round and screamed in my face... "DON'T! JUST F*CK OFF!!!!!" :eek:

So I DID, feeling quite upset about it...

I had friends in common with her and mentioned the incident the next time that I saw them. They in turn mentioned it to screaming woman. She was mortified - she hadn't recognised me and thought I was some random guy out 'on the pull'! Apparently, at that time she had just had a big relationship bust-up and was feeling angry towards men in general... :laugh:

Wordle's bad enough, I think this one would do my head in,

welcome to Nerdle, a numeric version of wordle,

https://nerdlegame.com/




  • How to play (the rules)?
    Guess the NERDLE in 6 tries. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the solution.
    • There are 8 "letters"
    • A "letter" is one of "0123456789+-*/="
    • And a word must be a calculation that is mathematically correct.
    • So it must have one "="
    • Also, the number on the right of the "=" is just a number (not another calculation)
    • Standard order of operations applies, so calculate * and / before + and -
    • Order matters in nerdle. If the answer we're looking for is 10+20=30, then 20+10=30 isn't close enough.
    9*20=180
    The number 9 is green and is therefore in the solution and in the correct spot.
    9*20=180
    The number 2 is purple and is therefore in the solution but in the wrong spot.
    9*20=180
    The number 1 is black and is therefore not in the solution in any spot (at least, not in this example – see rules for doubles)
    If your guess includes, say, two 1s but the answer has only one, you will get one color tile and one black.

I feel totally humiliated! My pal (ex) is here for our weekly meal. She is sitting opposite me reading a book and having fits of giggles, occasionally roaring with laughter. I was curious and leaned over to read the name of the book. It is The Timewaster Diaries. I just looked it up on Amazon...

The year starts badly for Robin, who is fired for writing too many letters on company time, and for his wife Rita, who sprains her ankle (yet again). But Robin has a cunning plan - his marrying of the crossword and Sudoku into his devilish 'crossoku' - which might just make their fortune...

For years she put up with my attempts to develop my own 'crossoku' and seems to think that this book could have been my autobiography! :whistle:
