Now that could be useful.

I am watching a Harry Potter film. Its been quite a nice day here. We had a few spits and spots of rain, but most of the time the sun was shining and it was quite warm.

Just watched Sink the Bismark.....we won again
Oh and it's again
My multi dish curry (chicken and mushroom, prawn, aloo gobe and rice) was rather nice,I may add tadka dal next time

You think they'd have realised by now those torpedoes were the danger.

Can I just ask - why do so many of you get up so early?

Serious question and not judgemental either - just intrigued.

After long careers of getting up early we must've subconciously decided that it really wasn't for us - we only do it for eg holiday travel reasons or an exceptionally long day in the Fells etc.

I know we would be outliers on a bell graph showing going to bed times but also cannot understand people going to bed so early - anything before midnight would be considered unusual for us and 9pm, 10pm etc would be reserved for times of illness etc.

In other News - no rain today so will mow front lawns, off to ASDA (yuk!), will watch a bit of the Mens Race inbetween.

We have decided on another party night tonight for the hell of it.

Have a good day all.

It boils down to me being tired and sleepy by 10.00pm and only needing around six hours sleep so I wake about 4.00am. The problem with this is if I have a poor night I might waje around 2.30/3.00 and that's just way too early. When I wake my body may be tired but my mind starts to work and I simply can't sleep.

I had hoped retirement would change this but it hasn't. I've made serious efforts to move my bedtime to 11.00pm but I can't, just fall asleep in the chair and/or still wake at 4.00am.

On the plus side I do enjoy being downstairs alone in the early morning.

Well that’s been a most enjoyable day of cycling to watch.

I see there have been arrests made following the protest today. They glued themselves to the road. I would have just run over them

They should lock them up. It's a bit ironic really. Protesters protesting against cars and other vehicles with combustion engines by disrupting a cycling race where only peddling is used to produce the motion needed. DER.

The more you sell, the faster you go?

How were they able to prove who owned them, and did they explain how they came by them?
