I've never had a plot

I've never had a plot

Me neither......it all just sort of happened and I went with the flow.

I did have a plot and then I built a house on it, I am looking for another plot.

Thanks to Dirks picture of his new caravan I keep looking at pictures on Gumtree etc of caravans, this may not end up good for the bank balance.

Good morning all. Quite mild here today. Off to Stoke shortly and put a dent in my savings for my wife's Australian trip.

And me.

How'd she lose you!

Bonfire?

Don't blame me for your fiscal extravagances, matey.

Kicking missen today. Had planned to do a 200km DIY audax but slept in again so by the time I woke up it was too late to start and be home in a reasonable time. I'm in the frame for family taxi duties this evening so daren't be late.

Thing is, it's such a perfect day for doing a long ride; calm, dry and just the right side of cool. Had to make do with a fast (15mph is fast for me these days) 30 miles. Was engaged in conversation by a yoof who was admiring my new jersey

and bumped into an old friend so arranged to go for a catch-up over a beer. Now if I'd been on a 200km audax that wouldn't have happened so got to look on the bright side

Don't fret; you can do a 200km ride any day you like now. Just make sure that you maintain the correct amount of smugness when you think of the Workies......

Got to blame someone.

 

[Dirk]

Got to blame someone.

Blame @Drago ........

 

[screenman]

Blame @Drago ........

He is irresponsible.

9%! 9% chance of rain the forecast said. Drizzled for 65 miles. Still a good ride 4500 feet at 14.1avg. Got three PBs including The Nick of Pendle from the Sabden side - No 74 in top 100 climbs.

First two cafes closed, third one open and excellent.

I'm very proud of Mini D. Lemmy has just had a barking fit at something outside and Mini D said "Daddy, I think theres a commie outside."
