Oh yes the arthritis in my left hip isn't good this morning.

My back isn't either, it should be better later though.

I bimbled. Roads wet and very muggy but the rain held off. Just 24 miles but it'll do.

Weetabix time.

You really are like wonderwoman. You really do put me to shame. I have only just performed the sorry carcass elevation function.

I bought Weetabix Minis round the Co-op the other day, just because they were reduced and very cheap, but actually the'yre alright, so had them again this morning. Apparently I need more potassium, milk being a good source, it seemed a better idea than eating chunks of the stuff. I seem to remember watching chunks of it going round whizzing round a bowl of water in flames in chemistry lessons at school - not that I went too often as I used to bunk off and go cycling pretty often. lt least with this potassium I might cycle faster in the rain that being the case.

I get bother with bad cramp so have started taking a combined magnesium/potassium/calcium supplement. I think it is helping a bit.

I sometimes put warm milk in my Weetabix and it almost turns out like porridge. :laugh:

Re Fathers Day.
Our son and wife split up some years ago and are now divorced.
We loved and still love the girl. We dont see her as she re-married and lives in America.
BUT.....she sent me some nice photos on Sunday......she calls me Poppa or in this case Father in Love.
A great pity it didn't work out.

That is THE reason I don't like them.....they just turn to mush.

At least people have the courage/sense to divorce earlier these days when things aren't working out. My memories of my parents growing up involve a lot of fighting/bickering/stony silences and feeling like piggy in the middle. They eventually did divorce but not until I was in my early twenties.

Ah but mush with chocolate chips in in this case. :smile: I already knew that banananananananananas are rich in potassium, so I have one in custard most days too. Danni makes me banananananananana cake too, she likes doing cooking and stuff. I prefer a hacksaw to a foodmixer.

@Dave7
Edit: having reread Mo's post - I concede you have a point. :laugh:

Barnet,
I well remember that happening. I was a late developer so older than 2. Sadly my parents had not warned me and it frightened the life out of me. I wont go into detail but did find that I could push them back up :wacko:
I can still remember the cough and b*****k test at secondary school. Probably in 1970. The nurse got you to drop your trousers had a bit of a grope and got you to cough to check the tackle was in place. :shy:
