Morning. 2 deg here and a tad chilly. It's an auspicious day as today I officially join the old farts club. I am now an old age pensioner. Bloody hell. How did that happen. I turn my back for 5 minutes and bang

Stay safe peeps

Happy Birthday

Good morning all.

Wordle done in 3 .

The sun is shining and looks like being a nice day.
All the usual stuff to do today, plus a bimble out on the bike for some essentials from the local grocers.

It's bin day, but they have normally been down by now, but not yet.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Ps. Happy birthday Welshie.

Morning. I went to bed far too early, dozed briefly then tossed and turned till 3am got up and had a cuppa and did Wordle and pottered on the iPad then went back just before 5 and dozed for a bit again.

Early walk done and a bit of shopping on the way home and I've just had a bowl of Apple & Blueberry porridge. Cuppa time now. I have to force myself to drink water too. I prefer it slightly warm so usually fill a glass two thirds with cold then top up from the kettle.

I know I said it on the other place, but Happy Birthday again Claire. Enjoy your pension and think of all the pairs of jeans you will be able to buy now.........oh, and maybe you could finally treat yourself to a new pair of bloomers too!

I must say, you don't look that old.

What a crawler!

(I am miffed because you beat me to it)

Happy birthday @welsh dragon

I don't see too many main roads being built (though I have encountered some) but lots of new estates dotted about with back roads.

Here's one at Clitheroe (satellite picture 2022, OS map 2016):

Looks like they had to keep the footpath...

I think that development will rapidly spread out across the fields to the SW past Barrow until Clitheroe and Whalley eventually join up!

Suspect you'll be proved right in time.

They have this habit of sneeking up on you.

Enjoy the day.
Put your feet up, relax, eat and drink what you want. Do what you want.
In fact, just treat it like any normal day.

It sure does.

Did you know, that on this day in 1963, Alcatraz was closed.
