Hello everyone. It's very windy out. We are riding to Ribchester this morning. I'm not sure this is a good plan but hey ho. Meet point is too of my road, I shall try not to be late.......I usually am.

One of my daughters lives in Ribchester - are you going to the cafe by the car park that also does the pottery stuff? .... depending which way you are going that hill back up to the lights at the A59 is cruel on a bike.

My cycling around there has been fairly limited with just 6 or 7 mile jaunts on the Brompton - but great countryside.

That's the one, the Potter's Barn. One of my favourites, lovely people and the best cake in Lancashire.

We often ride up to the A59 and then drop in to Balderstones as we make our way home. Plenty of alternatives though and it will depend on how we feel and the wind.

Have you tried before dismissing it?

TBH the pair she left here, I use as a quilt for the double bed when the other quilt is being washed. So no, I have not actually tried it.

Standard packing in our house. We're really good at packing. Best yet is a week away in a bag 40 x20 x25cm - one babe each. I love beating Ryanair at their own game.

You're right though rolling is the way to go. I do this with a lot of stuff at home; underwear, vests, T-shirts, cycle kit etc.

This is why I don't get Mrs P buying packing boxes.

I confess to being possibly the worlds worst at packing. I HAVE TO make a list well in advance. Even then I find myself stood there scratching my head. Having been away on business so often you would assume I would have it off to an art....no chance.
When me and my mate went to Majorca in October (7 days) I had a suitcase full......he had a carry on which was only half full.

I can pack everything I need for 2 weeks away in less than 5 minutes.

Morning all, dark and damp outside. The lurgy is in full swing now , a wheezing chest and a hacking cough. I now have some idea about how @Drago and his underpants feel. My Duvet cover is wringing wet, I seem to of perspired buckets overnight. I feel the washing machine might be called into action later.

Read or just copy some of my posts....it will save you some time
If its the same thing, which I assume it will be, it will be keeping you company for a few weeks.
Some advice if I may. We both did as advised ie left it to run its course-that took 3 weeks. Other people eg @PaulSB s wife took steroids and seemed to recover much quicker than us.

I was up at 0730 today feeling much better. A slight twinge in my back and a bit chesty but definitely much better.
I am even going to get a game of golf in .
Dont feel like eating so will take a banana and for lunch the club do various really good 'home made'** soup.
** made at the club but you know what I mean

Just for a change, today will start with a short train ride out to Grindleford, then a few Derbyshire hills, before catching the train home ... courtesy of the Seniors' railcard of course.

OK. I've tried to do this.......it's 4.30 I need entertaining!!

If I've got this correct my right arm is on top by virtue of my right thumb being on top of the left when my fingers are interlocked.

Well, if you tend to cross your arms left-over-right but weave your hands right-over-left, then your first impressions tend to be well-thought out, while you leave more complex issues to instinct.

Yep great cake - I dscovered, while my grandson was devouring an ice cream after a ride (the usual "race" to be first at the cafe - from the field track beyond the tennis courts) that they serve wine too
