Good morning

MiL sitting for me today as she's housebound and everyone else is away or at work. She has a pendant alarm to call me if needed so it's not as if I'm trapped in the house but I can't go too far away. Going to make her some kedgeree for a late breakfast.
Mebbe a turbo trainer sesh later and an old pal has turned up so mebbe a drinking sesh too (once Mrs. jg gets home from work). I'm not supposed to be drinking but he was my best man so what can I do?

The sacrifices we have to make

I've got nothing on today except waiting in for two parcels, could be a long day

If I remember some of your posts then you seldom have anything on

Still enjoying our MoHo trip to France, managed just under 18 miles today, before the rain came

Don't know what the 54 degrees is about, it was 15C, maybe Garmin is showing degrees F ?

Morning. Today I plan to visit the Classic Car Boot sale at Kings Cross which should be a good opportunity for some street photography. I also need to finish this week’s photography homework, which is around making the most of the camera’s in-built flash.

Tonight, Mrs rb58 and I have tickets for a showing of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly at the BFI. I love watching the classics on the big screen.

On top of that, I have an incredibly dirty bike to clean after the fairly epic Friday Night Ride to the Coast yesterday.

A beautiful morning here, hope you all get the same. Today’s dilemma is whether to dress for sunshine I can see or the forecast. Decisions. Decisions.

An excellent ride in to the Ribble Valley is planned.

Dull here. The weather is pretty dull too, but at least it ain't raining.

Been out in the garage playing with an old wooden carver chair that we are painting up for one of the bedrooms, I love being creative. The Arrow Sportive comes past the driveway later so may wander down a cheer a few on.

More granny sitting for me today.
One false alarm yesterday and I got quite stressed when I couldn't get the car out of the street as some yoofs were parked window to window so that they could have a shouted conversation over the Hi Bass, Hi NRG racket coming from their speakers. It was quicker to run round to the MiLs than try to shift them.
Will paint the shed today which will mean emptying the contents into the now empty log store and moving it forward by 4 - 5ft so I can paint the back. That will require some thought (and probably some leverage).

Dull gloomy and overcast here today, bit like me

Sad to hear that.

Morning chaps. I have been busy with houseworky type stuff. Washing is out and another load is in the machine. It was sunny, but going decidedly dull here now, yuck.

Been out for a nice short and hilly ride, 15 miles and 1000 ft of climbing. Back home and a quick freshen up before walking down to my local for a Sunday lunch. Staggering back later for an afternoon nap followed by doggie walking and finally slumping down to watch the F1.

 

[Drago]

In the man shed, heater on, Irish Coca Cola on stand by, watching the F1 on TV.

I'm in the pub.
