Morning all. :hello:
Yay....it's Fish Friday!:hungry::cheers:
Got some painting to do in the spare room now that I can finally get to the walls and I'll be papering a feature wall tomorrow, so it will look a bit fresher for visitors.
Doggie walking and a walk down to the village later.

Indeed it is.

Dry, blue skies here today, but, rather cold.

Not being as diligent as you today, the plan is a "walk" with a few of my fellow retirees, via a watering hole or two, call at the fish quay in North Shields, for Fish and chips, then, probably, a few more watering holes.

Finally, I shall probably fall asleep in front of the 6'oclock news, at which point, Mrs Boldonlad, will, I am sure, begin vacuuming. ;)

Bonjour. Looks like a nice day today but cold. Going to see my son in Rhyl shortly and Molly is coming with me as I will walk her round Rhyl lake on the way back. Hoping to have a little ride this afternoon , before it gets dark. I heard the Council is extending the cycle path in Rhos on Sea so I will have a look at that to see how it is going. Have a good day every one. :okay:
Never heard of Rhyl Lake.
Where/what is it (please dont say its a lake and its in Rhyl).

Barnet,
Morning all, the lurgy is in full swing with runny nose, temperature and the cough. Drinking hot lemon and honey as well as eating oranges grapefruit and other sorts of fruit. Can you overload on vitamin C ?
Day and night nurse does help ( the drug, not the real thing) .
Off out with the dog in a moment.

Morning good people.
Yeah, a good sleep was had. Another chill day beckons as I rest the old back. I really think I will get a short ride in within the next week.
Mrs D is out this morning and I have instructions to sort my cycling gear out. Since my October holiday I have not been able to lift the bike off its hooks so as to replace the saddle etc. I think I can manage it now.
Golf on TV.....from south Africa. Always good as its next to a game reserve and they take time to show the local wildlife which I find interesting.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Blue skies and sunshine here. I was awake at 4 am then just lay there waiting for it to get a bit lighter

Sounds like a perfect plan. :okay:

Good day. A light breeze with white/grey cloud and patches of blue.

Should be a good ride today though one of the slower guys has said he's coming along. With this particular individual there is always grumpiness if he gets dropped. Yet he won't sit in the middle to benefit from the group. Sighs.

Later I have to go to Argos and Sainsbury's. I've ordered a new hair/beard trimmer. Sainsbury's was £10 cheaper so I ordered. AFTER ordering the product code showed as one digit different to what I needed. Turns out the Sainsbury's one is battery powered! 😵 Ordered from Argos and now have to traipse to Sainsbury's to collect and return 30 seconds later.

This is why I often think online shopping is inefficient, more expensive and has a negative impact on the climate.
You mean to say the two aren't under the same roof, where you are?
