Good morning - The last day for our family visitors but one more is coming here for a few hours before they go.

We'll be sending them all off with some leftover Christmas goodies so that we can't eat them all. Time to stop the excesses I reckon. :smile:

Have the best day possible.

Well it soon got to this time:wacko:.is doesnt help that I didn't wake till 09.15.
Health check^_^ I am feeling much better. Congestion seems to have cleared. Mrs D on the other hand is going worse, though she started with it some days after I did.
No idea what I am doing today..... I have got so used to doing nothing that its difficult to get the brain in gear and actually do something, ANYTHING.
I have tidied up, emptied the dishwasher and started re-stacking it. Think I will go for a walk, just local so no car involved.
Have a good day folk.

You took out what was in the dishwasher, then you placed it all back inside!

You could try and get on a train and go somewhere. Who knows, you might even be able to get back without walking.

Confession time. Every post, I do a "classic check" to make sure all is correct. But yes, I emptied the dishwasher, put all the CLEAN stuff away and put USED dishes in.
Train idea is actually a good one. Unfortunately I have a poorly Mrs D so can't really go off on a jaunt......I have my future to think of:rolleyes:

I did say try and get on a train and go somewhere. You'll have Northern to "work with".

On a little lane thats busy if it takes half a dozen cars a day, why does it start to resemble the M25 in the rush hour as soon as I stop to water a gate post?
 
Beautifully sunny day here, but trimmed my ride after sustaining the first puncture in ages. Finding the culprit took all of two seconds:

Lucky really, as I generally have to rely on touch to find the cause when out on the roadroad. I've no chance without my reading glasses - perhaps I ought to start carrying a pair, especially on winter mornings when the fingers quickly turn numb.

I wear prescription glasses for cycling but always take my reading glasses with me. Fortunately I tend to get few p*****s but the last one I got the thorn was sooo tiny it was a real pain to find and extract.
