Morning folks 
its a soggy start to the day here in Brora but might improve so i can go for a spin
Finding it very peaceful living here which must be highly unusual for a council housing estate! i was intending in the future to find a place out in the wilds but dont know if its worth the hassle and risk of buying a place. Anyhow thats academic as im skint at the moment

@PaulSB commiserations about Rovers missing out on the play off places.
Thank you. Yep, disappointing but just that. I don't get angry as some do. See the football thread. Rovers till I die!!

So good morning. It's bank holiday weekend so 'tis grey, dull, damp and breezy. What else would you expect? Yesterday was busy delivering club kit to cycle club members in the morning and footie in the afternoon. Today? #2 son has his annual review at Wrightington at 9.30 - he had a replacement 3-4 years ago and this is care one is never discharged from. Must set off in 40 minutes or so. I'll deliver more kit to members who live that side of Chorley on the way home. #3 son is coming over with granddaughter. I'm not quite sure why as she is coming to stay Monday and Tuesday as we have paid for #3 to have a couple of days away with his partner and part of the offer was two days child care. #exhausted granddad tomorrow night!!!
@dave r I haven't really caught up but hope things are going well?

I found some mojo and bimbled. Just 23 very relaxed miles taking it as gently as possible and ended up really enjoying it. Sadly, Sunday mornings are now the only time you can get quiet roads these days. It just seems to be getting busier and busier any other day. I've even found myself starting to feel nervous hearing things coming up behind me. Maybe night time riding would be better!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. I have been browsing elsewhere and forgot about you lot
It's been raining here since 8 pm last night and looks like its set in for the day as well. Hopefully it will keep the tourists away.
Stay safe peeps

- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Wet and chilly all the way today.
Feeling much better today since stent removed.
We have decided to stay in bed for another couple of hours and then get up and light a fire and throw some logs on.
Chelsea Match to watch at 2pm and then some Netflix/Prime dossing.
Monthly household finances reconciliation yesterday recorded slight drop in reserves due to wobbly stock markets which irritated our Finance Director Mrs SD who then lamented that 'back in the day' when we were gainfully employed, we used to award ourselves a bottle of fizz when we saved a further x£'s which used to occur every 8-10 weeks or so; and what 'scheme' have we got to replace this little bonus? Answer; none at the moment.
Will have to get our thinking caps on!
Suggestions welcome.
Enjoy your soggy day folks. 🙂

In our house a little "reward" is a quality gin and/or a bar of chocolate. Simple pleasures.........which reminds me, we're almost out of gin.......crisis shop approaching.

Then your imagination could start working overtime. You'll half see or hear summat and wonder what it is.
Note the 666 pages are done.

Still rainy as well.
