I've got spaghetti and now we have :rain:like the rest of you :sad:
No rain here, and the sun is trying to poke through. But, just like the most popular piece on my old school reports, "Could try harder."

I've even found myself starting to feel nervous hearing things coming up behind me.
I don't blame you - there are some aggressive idiot drivers about.

I was cycling through Todmorden the other day, approaching a pedestrian island. I was doing near enough the 20 mph speed limit. I was well out in the road to avoid the 'door zone' beside parked vehicles, and to deter moron drivers from overtaking there and cutting me up when they had to swerve left to avoid the island.

So what happened...? :whistle:

A moron driver overtook me there anyway and severely cut me up when they had to swerve left to avoid the island! They missed my front wheel by less than 1 metre. Still breaking the speed limit and endangering my life meant that they got to brake for the stationary traffic ahead about half a second sooner. :wacko:

Many years ago, when I was still working, a driver nearly caused a three car crash because he had misjudged my speed, he pulled alongside me then realised he was about to hit the little traffic island with the keep left sign on it, he then swerved right to go the wrong side of the island and nearly hit a pair of oncoming cars. :wacko:
 
Change of plans. Hotdogs and fries :hungry:

I had "take it or leave it" :laugh:

My mate is back from wintering in Texas. 37° C when he left there, 5° C when he arrived back in the UK last night, and still only 14° C this afternoon! :cold:

She-pal is coming over shortly for curry night. We make enough for 6 portions - to feed both of us this evening, both next weekend, and 2 extra mid-week portions for me. Then she has something lined up for Netflix. Hopefully better than her last 2 choices, the first of which neither us were enjoying so we abandoned that, and her second choice didn't impress me either so she listened to it on headphones while I checked to see if anything had changed on the internet since I had last been on. (One or two things HAD! :okay:)

Well, I am awake and up.... I did hope to sleep in but 0500 arrived and I was Iying there awake. I know the some people can just get cosy and lie there, maybe have a cup of tea, I can't do that.
Yesterdays planned roast dinner was postponed as MrsD couldn't face it......so we had jacket spuds with tuna, onion and mayo. Hopefully the roast will happen today.
