Bike in the kitchen!!!! :ohmy::ohmy:

I'd have to offer up three Hail Marys and a Lord's Prayer to have any chance of that..........

My Good Lady rarely goes in the kitchen these days.

54 winter miles today. Enjoyed myself but geez it's getting feckin' cold and damp. The bike looks like it's been dipped in a slurry pit.

So............I'd been home long enough to shower, getting dressed and the phone pings. It's my mate whose target is 10000 miles.

Mate: "I see you've only :blink: got 174 (to hit my target) left to do. I need 300. Shall we aim to finish it off on Friday?"

Me: " I haven't warmed up yet and you're planning the whole week!!!"😄

I also suggested he look at the weather forecast.......:ohmy:😄:ohmy:

Just looking out my front window admiring the scenery when noticed a small cargo boat coming up the Sound. It got to opposite Calve Island just off Tobermory and did a 180 degree turn and is heading back where it came from. Looks empty and possibly a lorry carrier with roll on roll off at the bow. Annoyingly it has a name in large letters on the side which I cannot quite make out due to slight shake. Must get a tripod for a telescope. A bit of a mystery tho' Fishnish or Lochaline slipways are not too far away and a timber loading jetty.
There are lots of little workboats always on the move nowadays probably doing mooring work and similar jobs and more small cargo boats than in the past. Saves road traffic with heavy lorries.
Non of these?

Went for a walk this morning, along the canal and back via Heriot-Watt. Beautiful sunshine most of the way. Saw a kingfisher on the canal, don’t see them there in the summer but quite often in the winter.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I'm watching countrfile as well.

I had an email today telling me that my prime membership ends in Feb, but my card details expire before my renewal date so I should click on the link below to amend my card details to avoid missing my payment for Amazon prime. Very strange as my card doesn't in fact expire until 2025. Methinks this is another scam. Be careful folks and don't click on things like that.

More and more of this just now. You really have to double check everything now.
