Got it.

Your welcome, I don't want it!

Today, I am exactly the same age as my Mum was when she died.
It's something that's been on my mind for a while now. I'll be glad when/if I wake up tomorrow.

My front tyres did come, didn't even knock on the door, I went out to my store cupboard which is just outside the front door and there they were, if I hadn't gone out they would have been there all night
Just got to wait for the rear one to come now

Was this the Specialized Roubaix model of about 4 years ago ? I discovered the recall by accident on the web ,
got it done for free ( think it was T2 ) stamped on the new headset collar pinch bolt. Bike had 3 choices of headset shock absorbing with 3 different colour coded springs. The bike shop in UK I bought it from never informed me either . I hated the bike ( was the heavy Tiagra version ) and got rid of it quickly at a loss. First and last Specailized . The Rockshoc system was pretty useless I thought

It is the 2017 model. The shop I got it from have been taken over now and pleased about that too. Their after sales service was rubbish. Apart from that, I like the bike and planning to use it for the C2C in July.

I did enjoy my little ride to get the Metro. I added the col de Morrisons' car park to get an extra km in!

After turning and heading back I noticed that the nearby Harry Ingham Cycles premises had been put up for sale and is now sold, STC. Covid closed the shop 2 years ago and it never reopened. That was sad to see. I hope that Harry managed to avoid Covid and is still around to enjoy a few more years yet. (He had kept his shop open part-time hours long after he reached retirement age.)

I decided not to bother shopping this afternoon - I am going to stroll down to Aldi later to pick up some supplies.

Hi Jogger. Where abouts in Spain are you ..... if you don't mind me asking.

Hi Dave
I'm in a village above Estepona in the mountains, do you know that part?

Hi Jogger that's a lovely part of spain, we had a great holiday in Montejaque several years ago. Loved the mountains looking out for the Griffon Vultures on our walks.

Tonight’s dinner was a concoction of what needed using up from the fridge before we head off to Edinburgh via Nottinghamshire in the morning. I’ve also been acclimatising myself to our visit as I’ve just had a dark chocolate Tunnocks bar washed down with a generous glass of single malt. Cheers! 🥃

Bring back loads of tablet!

Love the stuff but probably not great for your teeth!

You looking at the right post?

Good morning all.
Failed at wordle again. Too many choices.
It's a cloudy start to the day, rain is forecast for later. I got the grass cut yesterday afternoon as it was nice and sunny.
One of my cats has pulled an all nighter. She was out in the garden late last night hunting worms and moths and refused to come in.
All the usual stuff to do, plus a bimble on the bike to the local grocers for some essentials.
It is time to start sowing the tomato and pepper seeds in the propagator to start this years crop off. I've also got various Dahlia, sweet pea and geranium varieties to start off as well. The growing season is almost upon us.
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning all, it was light when I got up to unlock for the carer, nothing planned for today, got the wordle in three, by the second attempt I'd got all the letters and just had to figure out the order.

No, its not an area I am familiar with. I googled and it looks nice.
