Barnet,
Good morning all.
A bit of a cloudy start to the day here, but it is quite muggy:heat:
We have a carpet cleaning firm coming in today to do the front room, hall, stairs and landing, plus the two sofas.
So emptying out the front room and hallway. The carpets are pretty dirty. So, hoovering and the waiting for them . we are third on their list, so they won't be around until this afternoon. Our Daughter is calling in late on to check on us, to make sure we are not spending too much of her inheritance :laugh:
Other than that, all the usual things to do.
Enjoy your day everyone :cuppa:

Good morning folks,
A bit of a restless night so I’m in the spare room looking at the world outside. Mrs Tenkaykev purchased some Brooks “Ghost”’ running shoes a while ago but has decided they’re not for her. We’ve passed them on to our daughter who’s delighted with them. She’s gone back to Saucony shoes, there’s a pair on order from “ Runners Need “ thought they were Portsmouth based but we’ve been tracking the shoes journey from Eindhoven as they move between UPS facilities.
Nothing planned for today, must get the Brommie out for a spin.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️👍

Think I’ve tried most brands :laugh: I quite like my Asics Gel Nimbus and Saucony Triumph at the moment.

Another long lie for me. It looks like being a cracking day. Sun and blue sky already. Wordle done and a cuppa and browse before heading out before it gets too warm.

:hello: Good morning from a cloudy and damp Coventry, we've had rain over night. I've got up twice this morning, quarter to five my Good Lady phoned from downstairs to say she needed the commode, once I 'd sorted that out I went back to bed and got up again at twenty to seven when the carer came. Switched on the computer checked my E-Mails and I'd got the results of yesterdays blood test, I've never had the results that quick before, no further action required.

Good morning and it's looking as though we have beautiful weather ahead of us. Just as well as we have a serious bike ride planned for Friday. Speaking of bikes the person who needs to inspect my Cervelo has Covid so nothing will happen till next week at the earliest.

How do you all feel about sharing this thread with a law breaker? 🤔 I have an online Speed Awareness course at 8.00am. I'm sorry and would like to provide you with the full details available to me when I made my decision.

Based on the information available to me at the time I was driving at an appropriate speed. Of course if I had been given the correct information, presented with the full facts of the matter, I might well have reached a different conclusion and acted differently. Unfortunately this detail was not given to me and a full investigation has been launched and will report in a few weeks. I am of course happy to pay the fine and to learn the appropriate lessons. I'm grateful at this difficult time for the support of family and friends who have stood by me. I'm especially grateful to my wife who has agreed to bring me coffee and biscuits at the halfway point.

Thank you. This is all I have to say on the matter. It's time to draw a line under it and move on to more important matters.....

Looks like Boris has lost the plot all together now and just sacking anyone that disagrees with him! Will someone please shoot him :laugh:



I think it's only a matter of time now before he goes. You cab only tell so many lies before they all catch up with you.

Labour are no better with Starmer. And Rayner lying and getting up to shenanigans. They are all as bad as each other. God help us:rolleyes:
