The Glue that binds us together.
I always wear one, not worried about a funeral, we are going to leave our bodies to medical research. They dispose of our bodies when they are done with them.:okay:

Phew. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room, lounge, kitchen - CLEAN!!!!

Quick brew and then off for a haircut followed by spinning. I'm rather hoping Mrs P will be making tea - and not messing up my clean kitchen.

Helmets? Always wear one. I once came off at 25+ wearing a brand new £90 helmet, hit my head. The inside of the helmet cracked in four different places. I went and bought exactly the same model the next day. At best I think I'd be dead.

I ached everywhere after that.Mrs P is unaware - she'd worry every time I went out.

Retired on Thursday and have only just sat down. I have been so damn busy. Obviously got to learn to pace myself.

I've also come down with a shabby cold and cough so I'm hoping I've got this ill malarkey out the way before Xmas.

@Fab Foodie should be landing in Rome anytime now so I'm in charge of our nearly 5mth old whippet. Whippets hate rain and cold. It's raining and it's cold here so young Basil has decided the kitchen floor is the place to pee:angry:

No, no, No! I'd only meant to order a new lid, not to start a helmet mass debate! May I please be forgiven, and perhaps thrashed across the thighs by Carol Vorderman as penance.

The barber I use is called Turkish Hairlines. They are genuine Turks and have a lot of Turkish customers, which frankly in a small Lancashire town is a bit weird. Anyway.

I'm sat waiting for my turn. I can see one customer sat in a chair reflected in the mirror and he appears to have a cotton bud sticking out of one nostril. The barber moves the chair a bit and said customer now clearly has a cotton bud sticking out of each nostril. Fascinating or what? Rowan Atkinson anyone? He also has some sort of black clamp across the lower part of his nose.

A few minutes later the barber removes the clamp, pulls the cotton buds out with a very sharp tug. Said cotton buds have large lumps of green wax on them. This guy was having his nose hair waxed........aaaaaggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! The barber showed the results to the customer.........xx(xx(xx(
