Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
You don't know what it is, but you know it's male. How closely did you examine it?



Not very. :laugh:

I nearly missed my shingles jab appointment. :whistle:
My appointment was for 2.10 pm and I remembered at 2.05 ! Fortunately, the surgery is only 200 metres up the road so I made it just in time.
Back home now watching the Puy de Dome stage with anticipation.

A brilliant watch too.

Leave those ants be!

No way We get an infestation in the house.
 
Right - just caught up with this thread

We have had thunder yesterday and today - not a lot but some and we followed it on the relevant websites
yesterday we also had biblical rain for a while - gutters totally overflowed causing a waterfall outside the patio doors - which is OK because last time that happened it was outside next door's back door - which the use all the time (why the builders built it like that I have no idea!)

Anyway - after getting rid of the kids yesterday lunchtime we both decided we needed a wee drinky to recover

this morning I came down to SWMBO asleep on the sofa and 2 empty wine bottle (one red and one white) in the kitchen!!!

anyway I knew there was a good reason I was planning to go out on my bike this morning.
After I woke up I checked the weather and got out about 11 ish and went for a nice ride around the canals - only about 3 boats out which seems a low number for a sunny Sunday
Managed to avoid any rain but the clouds were gathering when I got home

That is a really good ride - first one in 6 weeks or so due to the "broken arm" situation and it is still stiff in some ways so I was worried how it would stand up - but it was mostly fine and only complained a bit
However it still will not go straight properly - physio appointemtn is apparently in the post!


anyway - got about half way round the ride and suddenly remembered - I planned to go to the Daresbury Steam Fair which is just a mile or so from my normal ride - but I was not really equipped to go
main thing missing was a decent lock to be able to leave my bike - I had a small combination one but I was not leaving an ebike tied up in an areas with loads of people with a lock that could be easily opened/broken by anyone with an knowledge and intent at all

also - no bag to carry the battery - hence bike would be an obvious ebike


so I just di the ride


still - must look up othr STeam Fairs in the locality - I'm sure SWMBO would love to be able to come with me!!
