I've just got back, in the end it was a nice morning for a bike ride, I had to walk out to the main road, our road and the next road were like skating rinks but most of the lanes were OK. It was cold and there was a strong breeze but the sun was shinning and I enjoyed my 53 miles. Not only that I had a proper bacon sandwich at the cafe, an inch thick one.

Well done, I am always wary when its icy as the lanes tend to be dangerous.
Bacon sandwich looked very nice indeed.

Well we bought a Fiesta and I'm pleased to say my lad made the right decision without me having to guide him. Paid £300 more and got a far, far superior vehicle.

The second salesman could not have been more pleasantly professional. I bet he sells a lot of cars.

You do seem to get some very arrogant cocky salesmen that think they can take the p##s out of you. It makes you wonder how they can stay in the job, it would be nice if a lot more people saw through them and walked away.

Started young, and still going.
Morning all , been awake since 4am for some reason. I only found out that when I went to make some tea thinking that it was about 6.30 ish and saw the clock in the kitchen. :blush: The dog and the cats gave me a strange look as I fed them. 3 mugs of tea later and several chapters of my book later I think I have peaked too early. It is frosty and dark outside so I will give it another hour or so before the dog and I go to the fields for an hour or two.

Hello! Well if I had settled down to sleep earlier than 00:40 then I'd feel less groggy this morning.

Our walking day today. The forecast threatened sleet and snow when the route was discussed so we are doing seven mile local loop plus pub lunch. Makes a nice change to humping a rucksack round all day.

Sky is clear and forecast sleet moved back to tonight.

Collecting the car at 4.30pm
