Another Parrot joke from my Facebook page this morning, the oldies are the best. 
The lady who bought the parrot was getting increasingly annoyed by its bad behaviour and foul language, so completely exasperated, she grabbed the parrot, took it into the kitchen and put it in the freezer.
After the squawking and bad language had stopped, she went back into the kitchen, opened the freezer and grabbed the parrot. "Well I hope that you have learned your lesson now, no more foul language!" The parrot was obviously very cold, but managed to say "What d d did the ch ch chicken do wrong?"

Legs are really stiff this morning
only possible reason is having 1 year old grandson here all morning yesterday - must have been bending down and getting up and down a lot all morning!
bloomin' kids!!!
just getting ready for a ride - trying to decide on a route - maybe normal one but backwards
(for the pedants - the route backwards - not riding backwards - freewheel won't allow that)

That's inciting violence, that is! Non of yer pub tactics here.Good morning good folks.
A lovely sun rise out there (que Classic).
I know I have said before that our local pub does a cabaret lunch/afternoon twice a month. Starts at 1200. 2 course lunch, 2 x 45 minutes cabaret, bingo....all for the princely sum of £5.75. We have missed most of them due to health issues but went last time and are determined to go today. Fortunately most customers are old farts so there is plenty of space for strollers/wheelchairs etc.
I'm innocent, this time.
And you've spelt cue wrong.

I didn't explicitly mention the make/model but I did post a link to the Amazon page. I bought the EarFun® Free Pro 2, Ace version. I had seen them referred to as the 'Air' version but reckon that Apple pressured them to change it.
The frequency response definitely needs flattening with an EQ app but once that is done I think the sound quality will be very good. That will be one of my tasks for today.
I will report back later on that.
I watched episode 2 last night so I am one behind. I loved series 1-5 and am really enjoying this final series too.
Incoming... Ah, a meal invite in Hebden Bridge. I can call in on my bike ride today but will have to keep the intensity down so I don't arrive as a sweaty lump! The chilly wind will help with that: 11 degrees (feels like 10) on the way out, 9 degrees (feels like 6) for the return leg!

You just have to swap the drivetrain to the left-hand side. That or use a fixed wheel.

Yes, more stretching than poses and plenty of core work, though I did fail on the shoulder stand, my back wouldn't have it this time and I sat it out, its been another good workout, but Peters classes are usually a good workout.
